Texas-based convenience store chain Buc-ee's is in preliminary discussions to open its first-ever location in Oklahoma, according to the Alliance for Economic Development of Oklahoma City. While no official decisions have been made, there is speculation the new store would be located at I-40 and Cimarron Road, just west of Oklahoma City.

Why it matters

The potential expansion of Buc-ee's into Oklahoma would be a significant development, as the popular gas station and convenience store chain is known for its massive footprint, wide selection of food and merchandise, and spotlessly clean restrooms. This could redefine road trips for Southerners traveling along I-40.

The details

Buc-ee's first commented in 2024 that the company had its eye on Oklahoma, but no additional statements have been made since. Several new Buc-ee's locations are already slated to open later this year in the South, and two locations have been confirmed for 2027, one of which will be the largest Buc-ee's store yet.

• In 2024, a Buc-ee's spokesperson first commented that the company had its eye on Oklahoma.
• On February 11, 2026, the Alliance for Economic Development of Oklahoma City confirmed there have been preliminary discussions about the first Oklahoma location.

What’s next

If the plans for a Buc-ee's location in Oklahoma City move forward, the company will need to finalize the location and begin construction on the new store.
