Louisiana's first Buc-ee's location is expected to open in five months
Not too long from now, Louisiana will welcome the opening of its first ever Buc-ee's location . Two locations are planned for Louisiana, one in Ruston and the other Lafayette, but the Buc-ee's in Ruston is expected to be the first to open, well ahead of when Lafayette is projected to open . Both travel centers are expected to generate millions in revenue, employ hundreds of workers and welcome thousands of visitors daily. When is the opening date for Buc-ee's in Ruston? The Buc-ee's location in Ruston, located off of Interstate 20 at the Tarbutton road exit, is under construction and on track to open in April 2027, according to Buc-ee's Locations. Construction began in October 2024, and now, exterior walls are up, the roof is nearing completion and fuel tanks are already buried, Ruston mayor Ronny Walker noted in an August statement to Louisiana Radio Network. Once completed, the travel center will span 74,000 square feet, feature 120 gas pumps and 700 parking spaces. "This project continues to move forward step by step, and we’re excited to watch it take shape and share updates along the way as we get closer to opening day," says the City of Ruston
