State pride runs deep in the South, especially in the Palmetto State. And why not feel proud of our newest convenience store on Interstate 95? It opened in May 2022 and is the largest convenience store in South Carolina and part of a chain of stores that stake a claim to the largest in the entire U.S. When it comes to road snacks, we think we can all agree, we’re happy to have a store that doesn’t mess around. It’s also the biggest gas station in South Carolina and you’ll be stupefied by how many gas pumps at Buc-ee’s there are!

Welcome to Buc-ee's in South Carolina! Buc-ee's is famous throughout Texas, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and now South Carolina for the sheer size of its stores.

Just look at this convenience store! The parking lot, alone, is the size of a parking lot for a large department store.
And the pumps? Let's hope you'll never have to wait for gas at this convenience store. This location of Buc-ee's has 120 pumps!

But fuel and chips aren't the only things you'll find here at Buc-ee's.
Buc-ee's has fresh pastries, sub sandwiches, and a Texas round-up of delicious road food like brisket, sausage, turkey, and pulled pork.

There are freshly made sugared donuts, Buc-ee's own version of dip-n-dots, homemade fudge, and...
Buc-ee's famous homemade jerky comes in enough flavors to fuel a road trip across the entire country.

Now, let's talk turkey on the square footage inside Buc-ee's.

While South Carolina's first Buc-ee's isn't the largest convenience store in the world, it comes very close. The tally in the Florence location is 53,000 square feet - compared to the largest convenience store in the world (Buc-ee's in New Braunfels, TX) which clocks in at 66,000 square feet.
Still, our Buc-ee's has many of the same offerings as its larger Texas counterpart. It's safe to consider it part convenience store and part gift store - the kind with gifts you'd like to buy two of, one for yourself and another for a friend.

Now that Buc-ee's has come to South Carolina, where do you think they should build the next (bigger) Buc-ee's?
Google/Henk de Swardt
This is a good place to note that the new Buc-ee's location employs upwards of 300 locals - all of which are making anywhere from $18 - $35 per hour.
One thing for sure is that it's easy to compare Buc-ee's to Kevin Costner's "Field of Dreams." Because no matter where Buc-ee's build the next South Carolina location... after they build it, we will come.
