Joining dozens of other locations across the United States, gargantuan gas-station chain Buc-ee’s is set to open two stores this week, including its first store in Virginia.
The Texas-headquartered chain of country convenience stores opened to the public a new location in Virginia on Monday, June 30, according to the The Staunton News-Leader, part of the USA TODAY Network.
Another location’s grand opening is set for Georgia’s southeast coast on the following day, July 1, according to the company.
Created and owned by Arch “Beaver” Apin, Buc-ee’s also has stores in states including Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The business is known to many for its reputably clean bathrooms and beaver mascot, often seen walking store aisle, stopping for photos with customers.
