Exploring Buc-ee’s St. Augustine: A Florida Gem

Our journey through Florida wouldn’t have been complete without a stop at Buc-ee’s in St. Augustine, a true destination for travelers along I-95. Opened on February 22, 2021, this sprawling location boasts 104 fueling stations and a massive 55,000 square feet of shopping and dining delights. It’s a beacon for anyone seeking great food, clean restrooms, and a touch of home on the road.

As the first Buc-ee’s in Northeast Florida, the St. Augustine location has set the bar high for convenience store excellence. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the hustle and bustle of New Year’s holiday travelers, yet the warmth and friendliness of the staff made us feel right at home.  

A Taste of Home  
Our two visits to Buc-ee’s St. Augustine were centered around

lighter lunches, as we’d indulged in hearty breakfasts earlier in the day. The fresh fruit cups and cold sandwiches were perfect for a quick, satisfying meal, and the desserts—especially the banana pudding—brought a comforting taste of home.  

Exceptional Staff  
The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the amazing team members who made our experience unforgettable.  

• Brent, who has been with Buc-ee’s for seven months, ensured the men’s restroom remained impeccably clean despite the heavy holiday traffic. His dedication to his work and his positive attitude were inspiring. I had the pleasure of speaking with him, and it was clear how much he enjoys being part of the Buc-ee’s family.  
• Robert, the assistant store manager, took the time to make us feel welcome and even complimented my Buc-ee Beaver cap, adding a personal touch that made our visit extra special.

These interactions remind us why Buc-ee’s is more than just a convenience store—it’s a place where people truly care about their guests. 

Why St. Augustine Stands Out  
Beyond the incredible staff, the St. Augustine Buc-ee’s offers the same iconic features we’ve come to love: an impressive selection of snacks, fresh food, and merchandise. It’s a place where you can fuel up, grab a delicious meal, and pick up unique items to remember your trip.

For Karla and me, Buc-ee’s is more than a stop along the way; it’s part of our journey. Every visit leaves us with new memories and stories to share, and our time at St. Augustine was no exception.  

Final Thoughts  
If you’re traveling through Northeast Florida, make sure to add Buc-ee’s St. Augustine to your itinerary. Whether you’re fueling up for a long drive or simply exploring the area, this location offers everything you need and more. And if you’re lucky, you might just meet someone like Brent or Robert, who will remind you why Buc-ee’s is truly one of a kind.

 
We can’t wait to return and continue our Buc-ee’s adventures. For now, we carry with us the memories of a delightful visit to St. Augustine, a place that perfectly captures the spirit of Buc-ee’s.
