COLUMBIA, MO - As Buc-ee's continues its nationwide expansion, Missouri offers several promising locations beyond the recently announced Springfield site.

Known for its large travel centers and extensive amenities, Buc-ee's could capitalize on high-traffic areas across the state to serve both locals and travelers.

One logical location is along the I-70 corridor near Columbia.

According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, situated halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis, Columbia is a bustling college town with heavy interstate traffic.

A Buc-ee’s in this area would cater to students, local residents, and travelers making the cross-state journey on one of Missouri’s busiest highways.

According to the Missouri Department of Transporation, the St. Louis metropolitan area also presents a prime opportunity, particularly along I-64 or I-55. These interstates see substantial commuter and tourist traffic, making them ideal spots for a Buc-ee’s location that could serve those heading into or out of the city.

Kansas City, specifically along I-70 or I-435, is another potential site.

It is a a major metropolitan hub with a large population and significant interstate traffic, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.

A Buc-ee’s here would attract both city residents and travelers passing through.

Lastly, the Lake of the Ozarks region could benefit from a Buc-ee’s, especially given the area’s popularity as a vacation destination. Positioned along U.S. Route 54 or nearby highways, a Buc-ee’s could become a favored stop for tourists and locals alike.

These strategic locations highlight Missouri’s potential for further Buc-ee’s expansion, bringing the brand’s unique offerings to more parts of the state.
