Buc-ee’s Coming to Kansas: A New Gem for Travelers

Buc-ee’s fans, get ready! The first-ever Buc-ee’s location in Kansas is officially on its way. Wyandotte County commissioners have approved a bill of sale and property exchange, paving the way for this monumental addition to the Village West area.

A Strategic Land Swap  
Commissioner Tom Burroughs detailed the process behind this exciting project, describing it as a land swap for signage. This allows Kansas Speedway to divest itself of specific properties and reposition its signage, clearing the path for Buc-ee’s and other facilities in Village West. The travel center will be located at 601 Village West Parkway, right next to Kansas Speedway—a prime spot for both local and out-of-state visitors.
  
What to Expect  
This Buc-ee’s promises to be a game-changer. Spanning 74,000 square feet, it will house:  
  • 120 gas pumps
  • 12 electric vehicle charging stations
  • A massive store filled with Buc-ee’s staples like Beaver Nuggets, Texas-style brisket sandwiches, and an array of unique merchandise.  
The Bakery: A Sweet Treat Awaits  
No Buc-ee’s trip is complete without visiting the bakery. From fresh kolaches to decadent fudge and all sorts of delicious treats, the bakery is a standout feature that has captured the hearts (and taste buds) of fans across the country.
 

Economic Impact  
With an estimated 4 million annual visitors, this location is set to attract travelers from all over, further solidifying Buc-ee’s status as a destination, not just a stop. The project, with a staggering $95 million price tag, will be privately funded for the most part.
