How’s The Progress of Colorado’s First Buc-ee’s Coming Along?

Many of us in the state of Colorado are anxiously awaiting the largest gas station ever from Texas-based convenience store, Buc-ee's. The excitement from Texas transplants and those that have only heard the tales of the grandiose gas station are the same.

Ever since the announcement that Buc-ee's would be coming to Colorado, there has been a buzz in Northern Colorado about it. I have done in-depth research on the best things to try when Buc-ee's opens and there is quite a bit of good road trip snack food that I am waiting to try.

The typical size of your corner gas station is approximately 2,500 square feet. The Johnstown Buc-ee's location will be nearly 30 times the size of the average gas station with a total of 74,000 square feet. Combine the sheer size of the inside of the store with 120 gas pumps and you have a mega gas station right here in Northern Colorado.

As you can imagine, a gas station of this magnitude is going to take some time to construct. The workers building Colorado's first Buc-ee's have been hard at work in Johnstown. If you have driven anywhere near Johnstown on Interstate 25 recently, you have probably seen the gigantic building.

As a Johnstown resident, I am excited for Buc-ee's to be so close to my home. Luckily, I can see the progress of the construction often when I am out running errands. This is what the future home of Buc-ee's looks like right now.

Pretty gigantic, right? Even with my phone's camera wide angle lens fully open, I still couldn't manage to get a full shot of all of the support columns for the roof of the gas pumps.

When will Buc-ee's in Johnstown, Colorado Open?

Colorado's first Buc-ee's location in Johnstown is expected to open in 2024. Not much longer y'all.
