The new travel center will contain 104 gas pumps, 392 parking spaces and thousands of snack and food options for those traveling up and down I-95, WJXT reported.

Stan Beard, director of real estate, said in a statement Thursday that the owners chose this particular location due to the proximity of beaches and walkable atmosphere bringing convenience to beachgoers in Florida.

Construction for a second location in Daytona Beach is underway and is expected to open their doors next month, the news release said.

Buc-ee’s also said it is also opening a new location in South Carolina, slated to open in 2022.
