Buc-ee's, a travel destination known for its abundance of gas pumps and clean restrooms, may be coming to North Carolina and just down the road from the Triangle.

A site plan for the popular travel center and massive roadside attraction has been submitted in Alamance County, which already hosts several travel plazas and large gas stations.
The proposed site is along Trollingwood Hawfields Road and next to Interstate 85/40 in Mebane. A Pilot Travel Center and Love's Travel Stop are stationed at the same exit (Exit 152). Plans are still under review.
"The site plan and traffic impact analysis submitted for the Buc-ee’s are still under review and subject to change," said Ashley Owenby, development director for Mebane.
Just three days ago, Buc-ee's opened a new store in Sevierville, Tennessee, right on the North Carolina border near the Great Smoky Mountains.
Buc-ee's is also loved for its sliced brisket and canned goods, including its own brand of nuts, beef jerky, jellies, salsa, pickled vegetables and eggs.
