New Buc-ee’s Travel Center Ready to Serve Nashville Residents by End of June

New Buc-ee’s Set to Open This Month a Short Drive from Nashville

Nashville residents are in for a treat this month as a new Buc-ee’s Travel Center is set to open in Smiths Grove, Kentucky, less than 80 miles from the heart of Music City. This Texas-based country store and gas station chain is renowned for its world-class facilities and array of offerings.

Coziness Just Around the Corner

The upcoming Buc-ee’s, erected off the stretch of Interstate 65, will be constructing an impressive 53,471 square-foot traverse center. Conveniently located between Nashville and Louisville, it is expected to offer an enjoyable hour and 20-minute drive for Nashville locals eager to visit. The travel center is scheduled to start operations on Monday, June 24.

A Glimpse Into Buc-ee’s

Known for its extensive fueling positions, clean bathrooms, and friendly service, Buc-ee’s is more than just your typical gas station. This new location will boast 120 fueling stations, ensuring convenient and quick service to its customers.

Beyond regular gasoline amenities, Buc-ee’s offers thousands of snack, meal, and drink options for visitors. From its famed Beaver nuggets and fudge to the taste of rich, smoky Texan barbecue, customers have a broad range of options to delight their palate.

An Addition To The Family

The Smiths Grove branch will mark the second Buc-ee’s Travel Center in Kentucky. “Smiths Grove will be the smallest town with a Buc-ee’s,” said Stan Beard, the chain’s director of real estate. “It has a big heart just like we do, so we’ll get along just fine!”

For those residing closer to Nashville, there are other Buc-ee’s locations nearer at hand. Travelers can find the popular rest stops in Athens, Alabama and Crossville, Tennessee.

Buc-ee’s Popularity Surge

Despite being a gas and convenience store, Buc-ee’s has built a solid reputation over the years. Thanks to its comfortable environment, stellar customer service, and appetizing food options, it has become a must-visit spot for locals and travelers.

Get Ready, Nashville!

The long wait is almost over! Come June 24, locals and travelers heading down Interstate 65 will have a new spot to relax, refuel, and indulge in a mouth-watering treat. The promise of clean restrooms, first-rate service, and the nostalgic Texas feel brought by its iconic giant beaver mascot, Buc-ee’s Smiths Grove feels like home away from home.
