First Virginia Buc-ee’s officially open off I-85

HARRISONBURG, Va. (DC News Now) -- Virginia's first Buc-ee's has officially opened on Monday morning.

You may have seen the gas station giant on road trips across the U.S., but now Virginians can see the beaver right in their own state.

Located off Interstate 85 in Rockingham County, the Texas-based chain is now open for gas fill-ups, jerky, fudge, Texas barbeque, kolaches and more. The store opened its doors at 6 a.m. on June 30 and has its official grand opening set for 10 a.m.

The travel pit stop truly encompasses the slogan "Everything is bigger in Texas," bringing to Virginians an assortment of food, drinks -- oh, and you can't forget about the Buc-ee's merchandise with its very own mascot.

While gas stations are usually known as a means of getting from one place to another, Buc-ee's has set itself apart by becoming a destination in and of itself.

The Commonwealth is set to be grounds for two additional Buc-ee's locations, with one projected to open in New Kent and another in Stafford.
