MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WKRN) — Construction crews have made progress on Murfreesboro’s Buc-ee’s location. Dirt has been moved and the roadway has been laid for the future gas station and convenience store.
According to the City of Murfreesboro, the company will continue to transform Butler Drive and Joe B. Jackson Parkway to help accommodate future traffic. Buc-ee’s is working with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) on the current roadway to the building.
The Texas-based chain has a loyal following, known as a staple for many drivers.
“I love Buc-ees,” John DeWees said. “I’m a Buc-ees fanatic.”
News 2 spoke with DeWees and his wife are at the Buc-ee’s location in Smiths Grove, Kentucky. They said they were traveling across the southeast, to visit different Buc-ee’s locations. As of publication, they had visited five different locations and planned to visit more.
“Don’t forget about the pulled pork sandwiches!” Kelly DeWees said. “You don’t want to miss that.”
“The management and the people who work here are really friendly, too — that’s the thing,” John added. “It’s just a good experience.”
As of publication, there are two other open Buc-ee’s locations in Tennessee: one in Crossville and the other in Sevierville. Previously, a location had been proposed for Clarksville; plans were withdrawn for that site in 2023.
