We Minnesotans love Kwik Trip, but a new gas station may be trying to come in and jeopardize that relationship! Have you heard of the travel center Buc-ee's? It's all the rage in the south and they officially have a location coming to Wisconsin.

As of right now, there are no plans for a Buc-ee's in Minnesota but if they're getting into Wisconsin I would guess that it won't be long now.

What is Buc-ee's?

I've never been to Buc-ee's myself but people rave about them. I guess Buc-ee's locations are huge and they have some great merch, too.

The Buc-ee's that's coming to Wisconsin is apparently going to be on 29 acres, 7 of those acres will be for green space and a retention pond, though, which is great. They'll also have 120 gas pumps, which is insane.

Buc-ee's Coming to Wisconsin

Buc-ee's was originally going to open their first Wisconsin location in DeForest, which is just a few miles north of Madison. However, that project has hit some road bumps. Wisconsin's WISN writes that the DeForest project has been "delayed due to funding and construction issues."

However, a new Buc-ee's project seems to be in full swing in Oak Creek, which is just a few miles south of Milwaukee.

WISN reports that Oak Creek city officials announced that Buc-ee's has "already purchased the parcel of land" and they have spoken with the city. They now need to "go through municipal approvals" and then they'll be able to get started on construction.

If all goes well, they plan to open in early 2027.
