CHARLESTON, WV - Buc-ee's, the popular Texas-based chain known for its massive convenience stores and iconic beaver mascot, has been rapidly expanding beyond its home state.

With locations in several states across the Southeast, speculation has grown about potential sites in West Virginia that could qualify for a Buc-ee’s location.

Ideal areas for Buc-ee's are typically along major highways with high traffic volume, catering to travelers and commuters. West Virginia's strategic position along Interstate 64 and Interstate 77 presents prime opportunities.

Cities like Charleston, the state capital, and Huntington, a bustling college town, are well-situated along these corridors and could be attractive for Buc-ee's due to their accessibility and steady flow of traffic.

The Morgantown area, located along Interstate 79 and near the Pennsylvania border, could also be a potential site. Morgantown’s proximity to West Virginia University brings a constant influx of visitors, making it a promising market for Buc-ee's.

Another viable location could be near Beckley, which sits at the crossroads of Interstates 64 and 77.

Beckley serves as a gateway to the state’s popular southern tourist attractions, such as the New River Gorge National Park, which could draw in the travel-centric crowd that Buc-ee's aims to serve.

For Buc-ee's, a West Virginia location would not only tap into the state's interstate network but also cater to the region’s outdoor enthusiasts, travelers, and residents alike.
