Buc-ee’s has announced plans for its grand opening in Rockingham County on June 30. The Mount Crawford location will be the first location in Virginia.

The travel center will open its doors to the public on Monday, June 30, at 6 a.m.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. Local leaders attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony will include members of the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors as well as county staff.

The travel center will be located off Interstate 81 at exit 240, just south of Harrisonburg.

“One of the prettiest roads we could ever hope for, I-81 is full of folks coming and going for fun stuff.  We are the perfect fun store for their road trips, and the people of Rockingham County are fun too,” said Stan Beard of Buc-ee’s.

It will bring 200+ jobs to the area, with full benefits, a 6 percent matching 401k and three weeks of paid vacation.

The Rockingham County location will occupy 74,000 square feet and offer 120 fueling positions. Buc-ee’s favorites include Texas barbeque, homemade fudge, kolaches, Beaver Nuggets, jerky and fresh pastries.

With the addition of Rockingham County, Buc-ee’s will operate 53 stores across Texas and the South. Since beginning its multi-state expansion in 2019, travel centers have been opened in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Colorado and Mississippi.
