Buc-ee’s Florida: Every Location, Plus the 4 New Ones Coming (2026)
The first time I pulled off I-95 into the Daytona Beach Buc-ee’s, I’d been driving for hours and expected a normal gas-station break. Instead I walked out 40 minutes later with a brisket sandwich, two bags of Beaver Nuggets, and a beaver-logo tee I did not need. Florida has fully embraced Buc-ee’s, and if you’re driving the Sunshine State, these are stops worth planning around. Here’s the honest, current guide: exactly where Florida’s Buc-ee’s are, which one’s bigger, the four new stores on the way, and why Orlando and Miami still don’t have one.
📍 Buc-ee’s in Florida at a Glance
Two open now, four more on the way.
Both open stores run 24/7/365. No Buc-ee’s in Orlando yet: Daytona Beach is the closest (~1 hr).
Key takeaways
- Florida has 2 open Buc-ee’s as of 2026: St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, both on I-95, both open since 2021.
- Daytona Beach is slightly bigger (53,000 sq ft) and has Florida’s longest car wash at 235 feet.
- Four more Florida stores are coming: Fort Pierce, Tallahassee, Ocala, and Port Charlotte.
- There is currently no Buc-ee’s in Orlando, Tampa, Miami, or Jacksonville.
How many Buc-ee’s are in Florida?
Florida has two open Buc-ee’s locations as of 2026, both along the I-95 corridor and both open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They opened in 2021, making Florida one of Buc-ee’s earliest and most important out-of-state expansions. Four additional Florida stores are confirmed and on the way, which will spread the beaver across the I-75 and I-10 corridors too.
Where are the Buc-ee’s in Florida?
The two open stores sit within an hour of each other on Florida’s Atlantic side:
- St. Augustine: 200 World Commerce Parkway, off I-95 in northeast Florida. About 52,600 square feet with 104 fuel pumps. This is the closest Buc-ee’s to the Jacksonville metro, roughly 40 miles south.
- Daytona Beach: 2330 Gateway North Drive, off I-95. About 53,000 square feet with 104 fuel pumps, plus Florida’s longest car wash at 235 feet.
Both are natural launch points for a Central Florida trip. Plenty of families make the St. Augustine store their official “vacation starts here” stop before continuing toward the Orlando theme parks.

Which Florida Buc-ee’s is bigger, St. Augustine or Daytona?
Daytona Beach is the bigger of the two, but barely. It measures about 53,000 square feet versus St. Augustine’s 52,600, a difference of roughly 400 square feet. Both have the same 104 fuel pumps. The real tiebreaker is the car wash: Daytona Beach has Florida’s longest at 235 feet, so if you want the full experience plus a spotless car, Daytona edges it out. Honestly, though, once you’re inside either one, the 400-square-foot gap is invisible.
Buc-ee’s Florida hours
Both Florida Buc-ee’s are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They don’t close overnight or for holidays. The one exception is the Daytona Beach car wash, which runs roughly 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. rather than around the clock.
My practical tip, having done these stores at various hours: they get busy during daytime and holiday travel peaks, so an early-morning or late-evening stop is calmer if you’d rather not fight the crowd for a brisket sandwich.
Is there a Buc-ee’s in Orlando, Tampa, Miami, or Jacksonville?
No. As of 2026, there is no Buc-ee’s in Orlando, Tampa, Miami, or Jacksonville proper. For Jacksonville travelers, the St. Augustine store about 40 miles south on I-95 is the closest option. For Orlando, the Daytona Beach store is the nearest, roughly an hour east. Tampa and Miami don’t have a confirmed store yet, though the coming I-75 locations will eventually shorten the drive for a lot of Gulf Coast and South Florida travelers.
What new Buc-ee’s are coming to Florida?
Florida is one of the most aggressively targeted states in Buc-ee’s expansion, with four more locations confirmed across new corridors:
| Location | Highway | Region | Expected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fort Pierce (St. Lucie County) | I-95 | Treasure Coast | 2027 |
| Tallahassee | I-10 | Panhandle | 2027 |
| Ocala | I-75 | North-Central | 2028 |
| Port Charlotte | I-75 | Southwest | 2029 |
These fill in the two corridors Florida’s current stores miss, I-75 and I-10, which means Gulf Coast and Panhandle drivers finally get their own. Note that opening dates for large Buc-ee’s routinely shift, since the company says a travel center takes 18 to 24 months to build once construction starts.
What to get at the Florida Buc-ee’s
If it’s your first visit, don’t overthink it: get the chopped brisket sandwich fresh off the block, grab a bag (or two) of Beaver Nuggets, and hit the fudge counter on your way out. A cold fountain drink or Icee is close to mandatory in Florida heat. And yes, the branded tees and tumblers are a tourist trap, and yes, you’ll probably buy one anyway.
