Buc-ee’s is expanding into seven new states over the next two years, according to a report by Tasting Table.
The Texas-based travel center chain will open locations in Louisiana and Arkansas for the first time. That leaves Oklahoma as the only SEC state without a Buc-ee’s location.
The company’s expansion across the South has been massive over the past five years.
Oklahoma has plenty of Love’s stations throughout the state. But it’s not the same without Buc-ee’s.

Each new location brings significant opportunities for local communities and travelers, according to Tasting Table.
Every travel center brings more than 200 full-time jobs starting at well-above minimum wage and offering full benefits, three weeks of PTO, and a 6% 401K matching (hiring so many employees for every store is one reason why Buc-ee’s has some of the cleanest bathrooms in America). Buc-ee’s can also be counted on to drive potential customers to small towns they might have otherwise skipped right over, boosting local economies along U.S. highways and interstates.
