Our Buc-ee’s journey through Florida continued with a memorable stop at the Daytona Beach location, and it was everything we hoped for—and more. Opened on March 22, 2021, this 50,000-square-foot mega-convenience store and gas station is a shining example of what makes Buc-ee’s a traveler’s oasis.
Located at 2330 Gateway North Drive, right off the Interstate 95/LPGA Boulevard interchange, this Buc-ee’s features 104 gas pumps and one of the brand’s signature car washes. It’s a destination in itself, and it’s easy to see why it’s a favorite for locals and travelers alike.
A Special Connection
Buc-ee’s has always been more than a place to fuel up or grab snacks for Karla and me—it’s a place that feels like home. That’s why I make a point of writing to Arch “Beaver” Aplin, Buc-ee’s co-founder, after each visit. I want him to know just how much we love Buc-ee’s and to share the incredible experiences we’ve had along the way.

The Daytona Beach location was no exception. From the moment we arrived, we were met with the warm hospitality that has become synonymous with the Buc-ee’s brand.
Delicious Food and More
We enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at this location, and the food
was nothing short of exceptional. For dinner, I savored the cranberry pecan chicken salad sandwich, paired with Cajun Boil Kettle Chips and Jalapeño Kettle Chips, and topped it off with a decadent chocolate pudding. Karla opted for a sandwich and a fresh fruit cup, a light yet satisfying meal.

Breakfast the next morning was just as delightful. I started my day with a brisket taco, Beaver tots, and a Texas Squeeze Orange juice, along with a large Buc-ee’s House Blend coffee—medium roast and absolutely delicious. Karla enjoyed a grape cup and decaf coffee. There’s truly nothing better than starting your day with a Buc-ee’s breakfast!
