Buc-ee’s Georgia 2026: All 3 Open Stores + Forsyth Opening in 2027

Quick answer: There are 3 open Buc-ee’s stores in Georgia, with a Forsyth location opening in 2027. This guide covers each store’s address, exit, and opening details.

If you drive I-75 between Atlanta and Florida with any regularity, you already know Georgia’s Buc-ee’s game plan without ever thinking about it: Calhoun on the way up, Warner Robins on the way back, and never fight through Atlanta traffic just to get a brisket sandwich. That’s the actual reason Georgia’s three Buc-ee’s are placed exactly where they are: the company’s Georgia strategy is a genuine “skip metro Atlanta” play, and once you see it that way, planning any I-75 or I-95 trip through the state gets easier.

There are three open Buc-ee’s in Georgia as of July 2026: Warner Robins on I-75 south of Macon, Calhoun (also called Adairsville) on I-75 north of Atlanta, and Brunswick on I-95 near the coast. A fourth store is under construction in Monroe County, Forsyth, with a target opening of March 2027. And a fifth site in Hardeeville, South Carolina (just across the Georgia border) will end up being the closest Buc-ee’s to Savannah once it’s built. This guide covers every open store in detail, the coming ones honestly (with the delays flagged), and the routing tricks locals use to actually plan around these stops.

Quick reference:

• 3 open Buc-ee’s in Georgia as of July 2026: Warner Robins, Calhoun, and Brunswick
• 1 under construction: Monroe County (Forsyth) on I-75, opening spring 2027
• 1 nearby (across the state line): Hardeeville, SC in Jasper County, closest future stop for Savannah residents
• Georgia’s first Buc-ee’s: Warner Robins, opened November 18, 2020
• Georgia’s largest currently open Buc-ee’s: Brunswick at 74,000 sq ft, opened July 1, 2025
• All Georgia Buc-ee’s are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

How Many Buc-ee’s Are in Georgia?

Three Buc-ee’s are currently open in Georgia, with a fourth under construction in Monroe County. The three open stores are:

1. Warner Robins: Georgia’s first, opened November 18, 2020, on I-75 south of Macon
2. Calhoun (also called Adairsville): I-75 north of Atlanta
3. Brunswick: Georgia’s largest, opened July 1, 2025, on I-95 near the coast

The fourth store, in Monroe County near Forsyth, broke ground on April 7, 2026 and is expected to open in March 2027. Once Forsyth opens, Georgia will have four open Buc-ee’s, tied with Alabama for the second-highest state count outside Texas.

Is There a Buc-ee’s in Georgia?

Yes, three of them, with a fourth on the way. Georgia joined the Buc-ee’s map on November 18, 2020 when the Warner Robins store opened its doors at 6 AM after exactly one year of construction. Since then, the state has added a Calhoun store on I-75 north of Atlanta and a Brunswick store on the I-95 coast.

If someone tells you Georgia doesn’t have Buc-ee’s, they haven’t driven I-75 recently. If they say Atlanta itself has one, they’re wrong: Atlanta metro has zero Buc-ee’s, and there are no announced plans to change that. But the state as a whole is well covered along its two busiest interstates.

The Three Open Buc-ee’s in Georgia

Buc-ee’s Warner Robins: Georgia’s First

Address: 7001 Russell Parkway, Warner Robins, GA Highway: I-75 at the Russell Parkway exit (south of Macon) Size: 53,000 sq ft, 22-acre site Fuel pumps: 116 to 120 fueling positions Opened: November 18, 2020 at 6 AM Distance from Atlanta: ~110 miles south (~1h 45min) Distance from Macon: ~20 miles south

Warner Robins is where Georgia’s Buc-ee’s story starts. Construction broke ground exactly one year before opening day (November 18, 2019), and the ribbon cutting at 6 AM on opening morning was hosted alongside the Warner Robins Chamber of Commerce. If you’re driving I-75 south toward Florida from Atlanta, this is your natural break: it’s about 90 minutes south of the metro and puts you halfway to the Florida border.

The site is smaller than the newer Georgia stores at 53,000 sq ft, but “smaller” here still means bigger than three Publix stores stacked together. Full car wash, ethanol-free fuel, and every core Buc-ee’s amenity.

Buc-ee’s Calhoun (Adairsville area): The North Georgia Anchor

Address: 601 Union Grove Rd. SE, Calhoun, GA Highway: I-75 in Gordon County, north of Atlanta Size: 53,200 sq ft, 120 fueling positions Amenities: Car wash (7 AM to 10 PM), DEF, ethanol-free fuel, Tesla Supercharger, and (unusually) a Mercedes-Benz High-Power Universal Charger (one of only about six at any Buc-ee’s) Distance from Atlanta: ~75 miles north (~1h 15min) Distance from Chattanooga, TN: ~55 miles south (~55min)

Calhoun is the store I’d call Georgia’s “power user” location. Same size as Warner Robins (roughly 53,000 sq ft) but with a rare Mercedes-Benz High-Power Universal Charger installation, one of only a handful in the entire Buc-ee’s network. If you drive an EV that isn’t a Tesla, Calhoun is one of the very few places in the Southeast where you can charge at a full-format Buc-ee’s without adapter issues.

The store is technically in Calhoun but is often referenced as “Adairsville” because the exit is closer to that town. Both names work. It sits perfectly for the Atlanta-to-Chattanooga drive and for anyone trying to avoid Atlanta traffic on the way south from Tennessee or Kentucky.

Buc-ee’s Brunswick: Georgia’s Largest (For Now)

Address: 6900 Highway 99, Brunswick, GA (Glynn County) Highway: I-95, ~6 miles from Darien, ~8 miles from Pinehurst Size: 74,000 sq ft, currently Georgia’s largest Buc-ee’s Fuel pumps: ~120 fueling positions Opened: July 1, 2025 at 6 AM Distance from Savannah: ~65 miles south Distance from Jacksonville, FL: ~65 miles north Employees: ~200

Brunswick was one of Buc-ee’s back-to-back openings in summer 2025: the store opened July 1, exactly one day after the first Virginia store in Rockingham County opened on June 30. Pitmaster Randy Pauly (the world-ranked competitive brisket guy who oversees every Buc-ee’s smoker) was photographed with customers at both openings within 24 hours. It’s the only back-to-back state opening the company has ever done.

At 74,000 sq ft, Brunswick is Georgia’s largest and one of the larger Buc-ee’s in the entire network. It sits halfway between Savannah and Jacksonville on I-95, making it the natural break for anyone driving the coastal route. It’s also the closest Buc-ee’s to the Golden Isles (St. Simons, Jekyll, Sea Island), which means summer weekend crowds are real.

The Georgia Triangle: How to Skip Atlanta Traffic Entirely

Here’s the routing insight nobody makes explicit but every Georgia road-tripper eventually figures out: Georgia’s three Buc-ee’s form a deliberate triangle that lets you avoid I-285 and downtown Atlanta on almost any trip through the state.

Look at the map:

• Calhoun: I-75, ~75 mi north of Atlanta
• Warner Robins: I-75, ~110 mi south of Atlanta
• Brunswick: I-95, ~275 mi east-southeast of Atlanta on the coast

The trick is that Calhoun and Warner Robins bracket metro Atlanta on the same highway. If you’re driving I-75 south from Tennessee to Florida, you can:

1. Fuel and eat at Calhoun before hitting Atlanta metro traffic
2. Blow straight through Atlanta on I-75 without stopping
3. Skip any I-285 detour temptation
4. Reach Warner Robins on the other side and take your real break there

This is genuinely the play. Locals do it without thinking about it. If your break timing lines up, you can get from Chattanooga to Macon with exactly one Buc-ee’s stop (Calhoun) and never touch a fast-food chain the whole way.

For east-west travel (Atlanta to the coast), Brunswick anchors the I-95 route down from I-16 out of Macon. That combination (Warner Robins on the way to Macon, Brunswick out to the coast) is basically the “beach trip” default for Atlanta families.

The Fourth Buc-ee’s: Monroe County (Forsyth): Opening March 2027

Georgia’s next Buc-ee’s is coming together on 1080 Rumble Road in Forsyth, Monroe County, about 20 miles northwest of Macon and 60 miles southeast of Atlanta, right off I-75. It’s the store that fills the gap between Warner Robins and Calhoun on I-75, and it’s going to shift how the whole Georgia network works once it opens.

The full timeline nobody has in one place:

• December 2024: Monroe County officials give the project the green light.
• July 30, 2025: Georgia Environmental Protection Division grants a stream buffer variance, allowing construction within 25 feet of state waters on the 30.79-acre tract.
• August 2025: Monroe County Board of Commissioners approves the project despite some resident concerns about rural traffic
• Late 2025: Site clearing and initial construction start
• April 7, 2026: Official groundbreaking ceremony hosted by founder Arch “Beaver” Aplin III and Monroe County Commissioners.
• March 2027 (target): Grand opening, subject to construction timeline of 14 to 16 months

What’s being built:

• 74,000 sq ft travel center (40% larger than Warner Robins per WJCL reporting)
• 100 fueling positions
• Full food, retail, restrooms, and Tesla Supercharger stations
• GDOT infrastructure upgrades including widening Rumble Road between I-75 and the store, expanding the Rumble Road bridge over I-75 from three lanes to four, new traffic signals at the I-75 on/off-ramps, and a roundabout main entrance.

The economic story:

Monroe County officials projected the store could generate $30 million in sales tax revenue and create 200+ full-time jobs with above-minimum wage pay, full benefits, and a 6% 401K match. This is why rural Georgia counties actively court Buc-ee’s: a single travel center dramatically shifts local tax bases.

Buc-ee’s Director of Real Estate Stan Beard’s take on the location: “Our Monroe County store will be the perfect pit stop for the folks coming and going from the beautiful Georgia coast” .

Once open, Forsyth will sit between Warner Robins (30 miles south) and downtown Atlanta (60 miles north), which strengthens Buc-ee’s I-75 dominance considerably.

The Fifth Buc-ee’s Near Georgia: Hardeeville, SC (Savannah’s Future Default)

Technically not in Georgia, but functionally the most important upcoming location for Savannah-area residents. A new Buc-ee’s is planned for Hardeeville, South Carolina in Jasper County, about 25 minutes up I-95 from Savannah.

• Location: Exit 8 off I-95, at the intersection of U.S. Highway 278 and Highway 17
• Site: 46 acres within the larger Hardee Station development
• Distance from Savannah: 20 to 30 miles depending on which part of Savannah you’re measuring from
• Current nearest to Savannah: Brunswick, 65+ miles south

For a Savannah resident today, the nearest Buc-ee’s is Brunswick, which requires an hour-plus drive down I-95 for what’s technically a snack run. Once Hardeeville opens, that trip drops to 25 minutes. If you live in Savannah, this is the store that will actually change your life more than the Georgia openings will.

No confirmed opening date for Hardeeville as of July 2026, expect 2028 at the earliest based on typical Buc-ee’s construction timelines.

Nearest Buc-ee’s to Major Georgia Cities

For every Georgia city without a Buc-ee’s inside its metro, here’s the honest distance table:

A few takeaways:

• Atlanta metro is the biggest gap. Even after Forsyth opens in 2027, Atlanta residents will be 60+ miles from the nearest store. This isn’t changing anytime soon.
• Macon becomes the most Buc-ee’s-dense metro in Georgia once Forsyth opens: a Buc-ee’s 20 miles north and another 20 miles south.
• Savannah has to wait for Hardeeville. The current 65-mile detour is why Savannah-area social media has been demanding a closer store for years.
• Augusta is the underserved metro. No Buc-ee’s within a reasonable drive, no announced plans. If you live in Augusta, this is the story to watch.

Which Georgia Buc-ee’s Is Best?

Since every Georgia Buc-ee’s guide dodges this question, I’ll take a position. Here’s my honest ranking:

#1: Brunswick. Georgia’s largest at 74,000 sq ft. Newest of the three (opened July 2025), which means the smoker is dialed in and the layout is the modern format. If I could only visit one Georgia Buc-ee’s, this is it. Bonus: it’s positioned so you can add a Golden Isles beach day to the trip.

#2: Calhoun. The most amenity-rich Georgia store thanks to the rare Mercedes-Benz High-Power Universal Charger. If you’re an EV driver who isn’t in a Tesla, Calhoun is genuinely different from every other Georgia stop.

#3: Warner Robins. The OG. Historical significance as Georgia’s first, and still the natural break for Atlanta-to-Florida traffic. But at 53,000 sq ft with the older layout, it’s the smallest of the three.

Honestly, they’re closer to each other than my ranking suggests. All three are full-format modern Buc-ee’s with the same food, same standards, and same 24/7 hours. The differences come down to size (Brunswick wins), amenities (Calhoun wins), and legacy (Warner Robins wins). Pick based on your actual route, not this ranking.

Why Doesn’t Atlanta Have a Buc-ee’s?

This is the highest-search-volume Atlanta-related Buc-ee’s question, and the honest answer is a combination of three factors:

1. Buc-ee’s builds at interchange sites, not urban infill. The company’s model requires 15 to 30 acres of land next to an interstate exit, with enough space for 100+ fuel pumps, 700+ parking spaces, and a car wash. That kind of parcel doesn’t exist in metro Atlanta at any price Buc-ee’s is willing to pay. The Atlanta suburbs closest to that criteria (Cartersville, Locust Grove, McDonough) already have travel-center competitors dug in.

2. Georgia’s traffic pattern favors bracketing Atlanta, not being inside it. The whole “triangle strategy” I described earlier isn’t accidental: it’s built around the fact that Atlanta traffic is so bad that a Buc-ee’s inside metro would actually get less through-traffic than one 60+ miles away where drivers can pull off freely.

3. The Forsyth store fills most of the demand. Once the Monroe County store opens in March 2027, Atlanta residents will have a Buc-ee’s a single-tank drive away in every direction: Calhoun north, Forsyth south, Brunswick east (with a long drive). That’s probably as good as Atlanta gets for a while.

Bottom line: don’t expect a Buc-ee’s inside I-285 anytime this decade. Plan around it, not for it.

Amenity Details for Every Georgia Store

Calhoun’s Mercedes-Benz High-Power Universal Charger is worth calling out again: as of mid-2026, only about six Buc-ee’s in the entire network have one. If you’re driving a Mercedes EQ, EQE, EQS, or an EV that uses CCS with a Mercedes-compatible protocol, Calhoun is one of your best charging options in the Southeast.

Best Time to Visit Each Georgia Buc-ee’s

None of the Georgia stores hit Huber Heights-Ohio-opening-week levels of chaos, but they still get busy on predictable schedules:

• Warner Robins: Heaviest on Friday afternoons (Florida-bound) and Sunday afternoons (Florida-returning). Quiet Tuesday-Wednesday mornings.
• Calhoun: Heaviest on Saturday mornings (Tennessee-bound weekenders) and Sunday evenings (return traffic). Quiet Thursday afternoons.
• Brunswick: Heaviest on summer weekend mornings (Golden Isles beach traffic). Quiet weekday afternoons in fall and winter.

Universal pro tip: avoid any Georgia Buc-ee’s between 11 AM and 2 PM on holiday weekends. That’s when the traffic pattern combines Florida-bound leisure travelers with lunch-break locals, and the parking lots max out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Buc-ee’s are in Georgia?

Three open Buc-ee’s as of July 2026: Warner Robins (opened November 2020), Calhoun/Adairsville (I-75 north of Atlanta), and Brunswick (opened July 2025 on I-95). A fourth store in Monroe County (Forsyth) is under construction and expected to open in March 2027.

Is there a Buc-ee’s in Georgia?

Yes. Georgia has three open Buc-ee’s, all in strategic I-75 and I-95 locations. Warner Robins was Georgia’s first, opening November 18, 2020. Brunswick is the largest and newest at 74,000 sq ft.

Where are all the Buc-ee’s in Georgia?

• Warner Robins: 7001 Russell Parkway (I-75 south of Macon)
• Calhoun: 601 Union Grove Rd. SE (I-75 north of Atlanta)
• Brunswick: 6900 Highway 99 (I-95 in Glynn County, ~65 mi from Savannah and Jacksonville)

Is there a Buc-ee’s near Atlanta?

No Buc-ee’s exists inside metro Atlanta. The closest is Calhoun, ~75 miles north on I-75. Warner Robins is ~110 miles south. Once the Forsyth store opens in March 2027, that will be the closest Buc-ee’s to Atlanta at ~60 miles south.

Is there a Buc-ee’s near Savannah?

Not currently within a short drive. Brunswick is the closest at ~65 miles south on I-95. However, a new Buc-ee’s is planned for Hardeeville, South Carolina (just 25 minutes north of Savannah on I-95) with no confirmed opening date yet.

Is there a Buc-ee’s in Adairsville, Georgia?

The Calhoun Buc-ee’s is often called “Adairsville” because the exit is closer to that town. Both names refer to the same store at 601 Union Grove Rd. SE.

When is the Forsyth Buc-ee’s opening?

March 2027 is the target. Buc-ee’s broke ground on April 7, 2026 in a ceremony hosted by founder Arch “Beaver” Aplin III. Construction is estimated to take 14 to 16 months, placing the opening in spring 2027.

How big will the Monroe County Buc-ee’s be?

74,000 sq ft with 100 fueling positions on a 30.79-acre site at 1080 Rumble Road, Forsyth. Officials say it will be about 40% larger than the Warner Robins store 30 miles to the south.

Which Georgia Buc-ee’s is the biggest?

Brunswick at 74,000 sq ft is currently Georgia’s largest. When the Forsyth store opens in March 2027, it will tie Brunswick at 74,000 sq ft.

Are Georgia Buc-ee’s open 24 hours?

Yes. Every Georgia Buc-ee’s is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. Car washes at Calhoun and other locations typically operate 7 AM to 10 PM.

Does Buc-ee’s Calhoun have a Tesla Supercharger?

Yes, plus a Mercedes-Benz High-Power Universal Charger, which is one of only about six such installations at any Buc-ee’s in the country. Calhoun is one of the most amenity-rich Georgia stores for EV drivers.

How far is Warner Robins Buc-ee’s from Atlanta?

About 110 miles south on I-75, roughly a 1 hour 45 minute drive without traffic. It’s the natural first Buc-ee’s break for Atlanta-to-Florida travelers.

How far is Brunswick Buc-ee’s from Savannah?

About 65 miles south on I-95, roughly 1 hour without traffic. The upcoming Hardeeville, SC location will be much closer (25 minutes) once built.

Is Buc-ee’s coming to Athens or Augusta?

No announced plans for either as of July 2026. Athens residents’ closest option remains Calhoun (~110 mi west); Augusta residents’ closest is Calhoun (~185 mi west). Augusta is the largest Georgia metro without a reasonably close Buc-ee’s.

What was Buc-ee’s first Georgia location?

Warner Robins, which opened November 18, 2020 at 6 AM. Construction had broken ground on the same date in 2019, exactly one year to open, which is unusually fast for Buc-ee’s builds.

The Bottom Line

Georgia’s Buc-ee’s story is a three-year setup for a much bigger 2027. Right now, the state has three well-placed stores that let you skip Atlanta traffic entirely if you know the routing: Warner Robins south of the metro on I-75, Calhoun north on I-75, and Brunswick out on the I-95 coast. Once Forsyth opens in March 2027, that triangle becomes a genuinely dense network for anyone traveling I-75 through central Georgia.

My honest suggestion if you’re new to Georgia’s Buc-ee’s map: plan your first stop at Brunswick if you’re near the coast, and Warner Robins if you’re passing through central Georgia. Both give you the full modern experience. Save Calhoun for a north-Georgia or Chattanooga trip, and put Forsyth on your calendar for spring 2027.

If you live in Atlanta, the routing math is simple: pick Calhoun or Warner Robins based on which direction you’re already going, and don’t waste time trying to shortcut through Atlanta itself. If you live in Savannah, watch Hardeeville: that’s the store that finally gives you a Buc-ee’s you can visit on a weeknight.
