A Buc-ee’s travel center could be coming to this Middle Georgia spot. Here’s what we know

Middle Georgians, if you like Beaver Nuggets and the “cleanest restrooms in America,” then you may be in luck.

A Buc-ee’s location is in the works for Monroe County, Georgia, and here’s what we know:

“Buc-ee’s is actively pursuing a location for our next Georgia store in Monroe County,” said Stan Beard, Jr., director of real estate for Buc-ee’s.

The proposed location is on Rumble Road in the Smarr/Forsyth area, off I-75 in Monroe County next to Meadows Gun Club.

Beard told the Telegraph that there’s “plenty of work still to do, and planning steps to complete,” but that Buc-ee’s “is excited about the opportunity.”

Monroe County Commissioners will hold a meeting in December to vote on the proposed plan, which will include a 74,000 square-foot facility and 120 gas pumps.
