Buc-ee's plans to open its newest travel center in Auburn, Alabama, on Monday, April 10. The location will encompass more than 53,470 square feet and offer 120 fueling positions.

"Our partnership with Alabama couldn't be stronger, and Auburn is the perfect place for a Buc-ee's," said Stan Beard, director of real estate, Buc-ee's. "The home of the Tigers is ideally located along I-85, making it the perfect stop for travelers headed to Georgia or down to the Alabama Gulf Coast. We can't wait to become even more involved in this beautiful community."

Buc-ee's Auburn will bring 200 new jobs to the area with starting pay above minimum wage, full benefits, a 100% matching 401k up to 6% and three weeks of paid vacation.

The location will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 10 at 9:30 a.m. CDT, and local leaders attending the ceremony include Mayor Ron Anders of Auburn; City Councilperson Tommy Dawson of Auburn; Auburn City Manager Megan McGowen Crouch; City of Auburn Economic Development Director Phillip Dunlap; Lee County Commission Chairman Bill English and others.

Since beginning its multi-state expansion in 2019, Buc-ee's has opened travel centers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee.
