Buc-ee's Opens First Location in Colorado

Attention, Coloradoans! Prepare yourselves for the grand opening of Buc-ee’s, the ultimate gas station and convenience store extravaganza! Coming to Johnstown, this Texas-based behemoth is set to redefine your roadside pit stops in the most colossal way possible.

Picture this: 74,000 square feet of pure retail bliss, complete with rows upon rows of gas pumps ready to fuel your journey. Oh, and did we mention the legendary barbecue and bathrooms? Yes, bathrooms! Because even in the world of convenience stores, one must prioritize restroom luxury.

But why all the fuss over Buc-ee’s? Well, for starters, it’s literally massive. With 116 fuel pumps on-site, this could very well be the largest convenience store on the planet. And let’s not forget the impact on the town of Johnstown itself. According to Sarah Crosthwaite, the town’s economic development manager, Buc-ee’s is a triple threat: it brings attention, tax revenue, and job opportunities galore. With expectations of 8,000 cars per day and millions in sales tax revenue, it’s safe to say Buc-ee’s is about to make it rain (figuratively speaking, of course).

But Buc-ee’s isn’t just a local sensation – it’s a national phenomenon. Jeff Lenard of the National Association of Convenience Stores explains how Buc-ee’s has revolutionized the rest stop experience, turning a mundane pit stop into a 30-minute adventure. And judging by the 24,000-strong fan page on Facebook, it’s clear that Coloradans are eagerly awaiting their chance to experience the Buc-ee’s magic.

So, buckle up, Colorado! With opening day just around the corner, prepare for traffic jams, diverging diamond interchanges, and a whole lot of excitement. Because when Buc-ee’s rolls into town, it’s not just another convenience store – it’s an event.
