Buc-ee's One Step Closer to Opening Massive Location Outside Indianapolis

We recently reported that Buc-ee's, the well-known travel center chain famous for its clean facilities, vast selection of snacks, and unique shopping experience, was actively searching for a suitable site to build a new location near Indianapolis. After consideration and strategic planning, it appears that they have made a decision to focus their efforts on establishing their new travel center on the southside of the city. This decision seems to be a calculated move to avoid a direct competition with another significant player in the travel center market, Wally's, which is anticipated to open its doors on June 30. The chosen site for Buc-ee's will be located in the thriving community of Greenwood, Indiana, specifically positioned off of Interstate 65 at the intersection with East Worthsville Road. This prime location is situated at the southeast corner of that interchange, making it highly accessible for travelers and commuters alike. The strategic placement not only allows Buc-ee's to capture the attention of those traveling along the busy interstate but also caters to local residents who will benefit from the amenities and services offered by the travel center. Buc-ee's is known for its huge facilities, which typically include a wide range of food options, huge clean restrooms, and a variety of merchandise that reflects the local culture and travel needs. Buc-ee's is likely to become a popular destination for anyone passing through the area.

Huber Heights, Ohio Buc-ee's, Similar Layout to Proposed Greenwood Site

Plans submitted to the Greenwood Advisory Plan Commission show 2 fuel canopies (like the recently opened Huber Heights, Ohio location) where the main entry driveway is centered to the front doors, with a fuel canopy to the left and right upon entry. Personally, we like the big long one canopy look. It makes the travel center look more grand. This Buc-ee's travel center would have a 74,000 square foot store, with 120 gas pumps, and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The site would be in a residential zone, which would need to be approved for commercial use. There will be a hearing on this project on June 22, 2026.

While this is just the planning and entitlement phase of project development, it shows Buc-ee's commitment to build in Greenwood. It's not clear if there will be any resistance. Buc-ee's is planning to build a second Ohio location in Mansfield, Ohio, but there is starting to be push back by citizens according to some new sources. The Greenwood location would be in a somewhat rural area already littered with massive distribution centers nearby. Our opinion is that this would be a good location in an area already undergoing development.

Buc-ee's ranks as the number one gas station chain in the U.S. according to our Road Tour 10 rankings for 2025-2026. Learn more about Buc-ee's from our previous visits here. As of 6/20/2026, Road Tour has been to 17 of the 55 locations, including the largest Buc-ee's location in Luling, Texas.
