BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Get ready Buc-ee’s enthusiasts. The Texas mega-convenience store chain announced it will break ground on its third location in Georgia this month.

The groundbreaking will take place on Jan. 29 for the store off 7156 Hwy 99 off Interstate 95 in Brunswick.

In cooperation with the GIDA, Glynn County has agreed to invest $3M for improvements to Exit 42 including improvements to/in public right-of-way along Highway 99. This is to include traffic signalization at the on/off ramps, intersection creation and right in/right out to the development. The improvements will be to the benefit of the entire Exit 42 interchange and all the supporting Buc-ees and future businesses along the corridor

“Brunswick is a natural stop between our Florida and South Carolina locations on a stretch of interstate near the beautiful Georgia coastline,” said Stan Beard of Buc-ee’s. “The community has welcomed us with open arms, and we are excited to finally get started here.” The company says there will be more than 200 full-time jobs with the store that includes starting pay above the minimum wage, benefits, a 401K and three weeks of paid vacation.

The Brunswick store will cover more than 74,000 square feet and offer 120 fuel pumps. Of course, the fan-favorite Beaver nuggets, jerky and barbecue will be on the menu.
