Iconic road trip pitstop Buc-ee’s to open in KCK

With a proposed site near two KCK destinations and two major developments, Buc-ee’s plans to lure drivers with its snack lineup, merch, and immense bathrooms.

A convenience store with a massive paw print plans to open its first metro location in KCK.

Texas-based Buc-ee’s is known for a lot of things: an extensive lineup of snacks, from brisket egg tacos to cinnamon roll popcorn to walls of beef jerky; its cavernous bathrooms, which house as many as 50 full-door toilet stalls; its merch, featuring the chain’s iconic beaver mascot; and its size — the Springfield location is over 50,000 sqft with 100+ gas pumps.

Maybe most of all, the store is known for having the most dedicated fan club a convenience store chain could ask for. Researchers in Austin even named a fossil after it.

Buc-ee’s chooses its locations based on car traffic: each location serves an area of about 100 miles, targeting popular road trip routes. The proposed location at 110th Street + I-70 sits near the Kansas Speedway and Legends Outlets, plus the planned Margaritaville Resort and Destination KCK.
