West Tennessee will be the new home of Buc-ee’s, one of the most popular convenience store chains in the country, announced Tennessee state Senator Page Walley.
The news came from Walley’s Facebook page Wednesday morning where he stated, “BUC-EE’S WELCOME TO FAYETTE COUNTY!! Another great economic and commercial achievement for our District!”
For the West Tennessee store, it will be off Interstate 40 in Gallaway off exit 28, only a few miles outside the city limits of Memphis.
Since 1982, Buc-ee’s has grown to over 28 stores spanning seven states and still expanding. Founded in Texas, they are most famous for their approach of combining a shopping experience with food and merchandise and a gas and rest stop.
Buc-ee’s came to the Volunteer State several years ago when they built stores in Cookeville and Sevierville in East Tennessee, and only a brief time ago Murfreesboro announced they would be building one too.
