Buc-ee’s is planning a new location in Ohio, two hours from Indianapolis
The cleanest restrooms in the country will soon be just a two-hour road trip away from Indianapolis. Oh, and they’re housed within 24/7 convenience store and gas station, Buc-ee’s.
The first Buc-ee’s store in the state of Ohio is in the works, according to a FaceBook post by Huber Heights Mayor Jeff Gore. The 74,000-square-foot store will open in Huber Heights at the northeast corner of I-70 and State Route 235 and will be the closest Buc-ee’s location to Indiana.
The site will have 120 fueling stations and 698 parking spots (including 24 Tesla parking spots).
The Ohio location marks Buc-ee’s expansion into the Midwest, with the first Midwest store under construction in Springfield, Missouri, slated to open later this year. First opened in 1982, the Texas-based chain is known for its 24-hour convenience, its beaver nuggets and, of course, its award-winning bathrooms. In 2012, the Buc-ee’s location in New Braunfels won the America’s Best Restroom award by Cintas.
Although an expected opening date hasn’t been announced yet, Buc-ee’s representatives will attend the city’s planning commission meeting on Aug. 15.
