The chain’s expansion would lift its footprint to 20 states, with new sites planned in Arizona, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Kansas and North Carolina.
- In 2026, the Texas-based convenience chain Buc-ee's is launching an aggressive expansion into at least six new states, aiming to extend its footprint from 55 locations across 12 states to 20 states total.
- Known for its oversized travel plazas with clean restrooms and beaver-themed merchandise, the chain is scheduled to open its first Arizona store in Goodyear on June 22, featuring 120 fueling positions.

- Future growth plans extend into 2027, bringing sites to Wisconsin, Louisiana, Kansas, and North Carolina, with additional centers expected in Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Arkansas as the company pushes into the Southeast.
