Buc-ee's continues its expansion, with what will be the chain's fourth Georgia location in Monroe County. As of last fall, it's supposed to be complete by March 2027. But there's another fans in the south will want to keep an eye out for.

A new Buc-ee's is planned for Hardeeville in Jasper County, about 25 minutes up I-95 from the Savannah area. It will occupy a 46-acre site within the larger Hardee Station development located at Exit 8 off I-95, at the intersection of U.S. Highway 278 and Highway 17.

Once completed, this would put it just 20-30 miles outside of the Savannah area, depending on where specifically you live. Currently, the nearest is in Brunswick, over 60 miles away.

The Hardeeville Buc-ee's location in Jasper County is expected to include dozens of fuel pumps and electric-vehicle charging stations, serving both traditional and eco-friendly travelers. Key features include a bicycle plaza and several scenic ponds that enhance the visitor experience, according to multiple media reports.

Construction on the new Buc-ee’s in Hardeeville is expected to begin in early 2026. Josh Gruber, Hardeeville city manager, said the town's goal is to meet residents' needs.

"Basically, what that means is, for a resident to be able to go to the grocery store, go out to eat, have retail recreation opportunities, can get all of those needs met, and do that within the city of Hardeeville, rather than having them have to get in a car and drive someplace else outside the city," Gruber said in an interview with media outlet WJCL.

The projected completion date is 2031, according to Buc-ee's.

The following Buc-ee's locations are set to open in 2026, according to USA TODAY.

Huber Heights, Ohio, on April 6

Goodyear, Arizona, in June

San Marcos, Texas, in July

Benton, Arkansas, in late summer or early fall

Murfreesboro, Tennessee, before the end of 2026

There are currently three open Georgia Buc-ee's in Brunswick, Calhoun, and Warner Robins. South Carolina has one in Florence.

Pay rates at Buc-ee's depend on the position. But cashiers, grocery associates, gift associates, and janitorial/cleaning and maintenance attendants all make $18.

Meanwhile, deli/food service associates, bookkeepers, and grocery team leads make $21. For more info, go to buc-ees.com/careers/.
