Big news, Buc-ee’s fans! The mighty beaver is expanding again — this time deeper into the heart of Tennessee. On Tuesday, October 14, Buc-ee’s officially broke ground on its newest travel center in Murfreesboro, marking the fourth Buc-ee’s location in the Volunteer State.
A Big Day for Murfreesboro
The groundbreaking ceremony, held at I-24 and Joe B. Jackson Parkway, brought together local and state leaders, including Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, Rutherford County Mayor Joe Carr, and members of the Murfreesboro City Council.
Governor Lee shared his excitement, saying, “We’re proud to welcome another Buc-ee's location to Tennessee! This great American company is bringing jobs, economic growth & world-famous hospitality to Murfreesboro.”
And he’s right — this new Buc-ee’s will be a major addition to the area. Spanning a whopping 74,000 square feet and featuring 120 fueling positions, the Murfreesboro Buc-ee’s will bring the brand’s legendary mix of clean restrooms, fresh food, and Texas-sized friendliness to even more travelers across the Southeast.
A Beaver-Sized Impact
When it opens — projected for November 2026 — the Murfreesboro store will be one of the largest Buc-ee’s in Tennessee. Inside, guests will find all the Buc-ee’s favorites we know and love:
- Texas barbeque fresh from the pit
- Homemade fudge and fresh pastries from the bakery
- Beaver Nuggets, kolaches, and jerky galore
- And of course, the friendliest beaver in the business greeting you at the door
Tennessee’s Growing Buc-ee’s Family
With Murfreesboro joining the lineup, Tennessee will now boast four Buc-ee’s locations. Karla and I have already made our way to the Crossville and Sevierville stores, and each one has delivered that signature Buc-ee’s experience we’ve come to love — spotless, welcoming, and packed with flavor.
We’re already counting down the days until we can add Murfreesboro to our Buc-ee’s List. It’s another exciting stop in Buc-ee’s journey across America, bringing that warm Texas spirit to even more travelers on the road.
Final Thoughts from the Trail
From brisket sandwiches to Beaver Nuggets, Buc-ee’s continues to prove that it’s not just a pit stop — it’s a destination. And for Tennessee, this expansion means more than just a store. It’s another chance to experience what we Texans call “the travelers’ oasis.”
Keep snackin’. Keep smilin’. Keep travelin’. And always keep Buc-ee’s on your horizon.
