CROSSVILLE, Tenn. — Buc-ee’s has debuted its newest travel center in Crossville, Tenn., on June 27, its first location in the Volunteer State.

Buc-ee’s Crossville occupies more than 53,400 square feet and offers 120 fueling positions. The store features snack, meal and drink options for travelers on the go. Buc-ee’s favorites including Texas barbeque, homemade fudge, kolaches, Beaver Nuggets, jerky and fresh pastries are all available in the store as well.

“Crossville is in the heart of such a beautiful community, located just about halfway between Nashville and Knoxville,” said Stan Beard of Buc-ee’s. “Whether folks are headed to Music City, the Great Smoky Mountains or beyond, Buc-ee’s Crossville will now provide a delicious, safe, and fun place to stop. There’s never been a better time to be in Tennessee.”

Buc-ee’s Crossville will bring 175 new, permanent, full-time jobs to the area with starting pay above minimum wage, full benefits, a 6% matching 401k and three weeks of paid vacation, the company said.

The Lake Jackson, Texas-based retailer has one other store under construction in the state, in Sevierville.

Founded in 1982, Buc-ee’s now has 35 stores across Texas, as well as eight locations in other states. It began its multi-state expansion in 2019 and has since opened two travel centers in Alabama, two in Florida and two in Georgia. Buc-ee’s recently opened its first stores in Kentucky and South Carolina as well, and broke ground on its first Colorado location in June.
