JOHNSTOWN, Colo. – Buc-ee’s will continue expanding Monday, with its newest store opening in Colorado, according to Westword.
The outlet reports that the store — the first to open in Colorado — will be located in Johnstown.
The mega gas station will have 116 fueling stations, 12 electric vehicle charging stations, and will be tied for the largest convenience store in the world at over 74,000 square feet — that is, until an even larger Buc-ee’s opens in Luling, Texas.
Thus far, the largest convenience store is a Buc-ee’s center in Knoxville, which opened last summer.

However, another Buc-ee’s travel center is expected to open in Marion County next year, and it’s expected to blow those numbers out of the water.
The Ocala-area Buc-ee’s store is planned to be 80,000-square-feet and will be located near Interstate 75.
Currently, there are two Buc-ee’s locations in the state: one in Daytona Beach and another in St. Augustine.
In addition, a fourth Florida Buc-ee’s is in the works along Florida’s Treasure Coast in St. Lucie County. That gas station is expected to feature over 100 gas pumps and nearly 800 parking spaces.
Buc-ee’s, the brainchild of Arch Aplin III, first opened in Texas in 1982, expanding throughout the state before expanding across the South, including in Florida in recent years.
The store offers numerous gas pumps, clean bathrooms, Beaver Nuggets (caramel popcorn), Texas-style brisket sandwiches, fresh jerky, T-shirts, hats, blankets, mugs and more.
