Over the past two months, the citizens of Daytona Beach were watching with bated breath one of the most ambitious construction projects in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 22, 2021, the gas station chain Buc-ee\u2019s proudly opened their doors to their first guests at the intersection of LPGA Boulevard and Interstate I-95. Buc-ee\u2019s is not just a place where you can refuel your car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 53,000 square foot site, visitors will find 104 gas pumps, as well as a store that has a fabulous selection of food and drinks. Buc-ee\u2019s offers a large variety of snacks and fresh baked goods. It is also famous for its own homemade jerky that you can find at the long jerky counter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buc-ee\u2019s has a wide range of services for the traveler. Here customers can relax, have a delicious meal, buy souvenirs with the beaver logo, clothes, kitchen accessories and even cute home decorations. Another nice amenity are the large clean restrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patricia Jones, one of the customers, mentioned, \u201cMy husband and I couldn\u2019t wait to visit Buc-ee’s on LPGA.\u201d She said, \u201cI read on the internet that one of the Buc-ee\u2019s in Texas is the world\u2019s largest convenience store. Walking around here is an amazing experience and I feel part of something so grand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buc-ee\u2019s, in Daytona Beach, provides more than 200 full-time great pay jobs to area residents. The well-trained staff is friendly and provide a safe place for visitors to shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthony Garcia, a resident of Margaritaville, said that he was very happy with the appearance of Buc-ee\u2019s giant gas station. “I am occasionally late for work because I have to wait in line at the gas station,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cThere\u2019s always a pump open at Buc-ee’s and that is a time saver for me. I would call that a home run.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some were worried that there would be a traffic jam in the area around the intersection of LPGA Boulevard and Interstate I-95. The city planned well in advance for Buc-ee\u2019s opening and have widened the roads to six lanes eastbound and four lanes westbound to allow a much better flow of traffic, hopefully eliminating the dreaded traffic jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if for those who need to refuel their car or stomach or are bored or just curious, they shouldn\u2019t put off their visit to Buc-ee\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
