The groundbreaking for the Texas-based mega-convenience store is set for Jan. 29 at 7156 Hwy 99 off Interstate 95 in Brunswick, Georgia.
“Brunswick is a natural stop between our Florida and South Carolina locations on a stretch of interstate near the beautiful Georgia coastline,” Stan Beard of Buc-ee’s told WSB. “The community has welcomed us with open arms, and we are excited to finally get started here.”
The 74,000-square-foot store will feature 120 fuel pumps and will bring 200 full-time jobs to the area, according to the company.
