Buc-ee's is known in the South for their massive travel centers with dozens of fuel pumps, bakeries, fudge bars and brisket stations. To date, they have yet to open a site in the Northeast. Drivers on the New Jersey Turnpike may have been surprised to see a billboard for Buc-ee's near Jamesburg. Anyone following the sign, though, would have been on a long trip to reach the nearest store.
