The gas station scene in Wisconsin is about to heat up big time.  The wildly popular Buc-ee's have officially announced they will build their first location in the Badger State.

With the Dairyland being Kwik-Trip country will people leave the one they love for the Beaver of Buc-ee's?

In July of 2024, there were only 50 Buc-ee's across 9 states in America.  Meanwhile, Kwik-Trip has 509 stores in Wisconsin alone.  While the mega gas station/convenience store Buc-ee's is not rapidly expanding, they have been looking for the right opportunities.

Their latest store is in Amarillo, Texas.  However, it was announced that a new store will open in Wisconsin in 2027.

According to TMJ4, the site will be at the Southwest corner of I-94 and Elm Rd. in Oak Creek Wisconsin.

As you can see, there is plenty of room for the 74,000 square foot Buc-ee's.

And if you are not familiar with that zoomed-in piece of farmland in Wisconsin, here is a farther-out look.  It's right at that "41" sign on the highway.  You can also see that just a few miles north of that is a Kwik-Trip.

What Makes Buc-ee's So Special?

Beaver nuggets.  No, it's more than that.

“We are thrilled to welcome Buc-ee’s to Oak Creek, as they choose our growing city for their first-completed store in Wisconsin along the critical I-94 corridor,” said Mayor Dan Bukiewicz.

Buc-ee's is highly touted in the world of gas stations as a clean, friendly experience that is way more than gas and snacks.

At the soon-to-be 74,000-square-foot Buc-ee's in Wisconsin, you can pick up a smoker, browse the largest selection of beef jerky in any convenience store, and, of course, use the bathroom. Yes, they were also named to have the cleanest bathrooms in America.

This location will have 120 gas pumps and, like all Buc-ees, will be open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to make things more convenient.

Is This Enough To Draw People Away From Kwik-Trip?

Kwik-Trip is as Wisconsin as cheese, beer, and the Green Bay Packers.  They have clean bathrooms, Glazers, the best chicken you'll find at any gas station...and of course gas as well.

There is a Kwik-Trip about 2 miles from the location Buc-ee's will be built.  Much smaller, but still, the Wisconsin gas giant will surely not just lay back and let them take over their state.

Californians Moving To Wisconsin Are In For A Rude Awakening

Californians are leaving the Golden State for what they think is a better life. It probably is compared to the craziness that happens in Cali, but they will be shocked when they find out what Wisconsin has in store for them.
