Construction is under way on the first Buc-ee’s in Virginia, and a projected opening date has now been announced.
The Buc-ee’s location off exit 240 on Interstate 81 in Rockingham County has a tentative opening date of July 4, 2025, according to a report by WHSV.
Buc-ee’s broke ground on the location on Jan. 30.
“One of the prettiest roads we could ever hope for, I-81 is full of folks seeking fun and all that Virginia has to offer,” said Stan Beard of Buc-ee’s, as part of the groundbreaking ceremony announcement. “We are the perfect pitstop for their road-trips and for the amazing people of Rockingham County.”
The travel center is expected to bring more than 200 full-time jobs to the county and will be 74,000 square feet with 120 fueling stations and 24 EV charging stations.
“We’re looking forward to having them be in the county as a great business, and they seem to be a really great employer,” Casey Armstrong, assistant county administrator, told WHSV.
Buc-ee’s announced its expansion into Virginia in March 2023. A similar-sized location is planned in New Kent County, off Interstate 64, at exit 211. No opening date has been announced for this location although it is expected to open in 2026 or 2027 after road improvements are completed. No groundbreaking date has been set for this location.
Buc-ee’s operates 47 stores across Texas and the South. Since beginning its multi-state expansion in 2019, Buc-ee’s has opened travel centers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Missouri and Tennessee.
