Buc-ee’s Coming 30 Minutes from Savannah

If you’re curious about Buc-ee’s—or already a fan—you’ll soon have a new stop on the map. The popular Texas-based gas station and convenience store is making its way to Hardeeville, South Carolina, just a 30-minute drive from Savannah. This new Buc-ee’s location will be on a 46-acre lot near U.S. 17, U.S. 278, and I-95, making it an easy stop for locals heading to Hilton Head or venturing up the South Carolina coast.

Buc-ee’s is known for its incredibly clean and spacious bathrooms, making it a favorite for road-trippers looking to take a break with comfort. But that’s just the beginning of what Buc-ee’s has to offer. Inside, you’ll find a vast selection of food and snacks: brisket sandwiches, pulled pork, turkey, their famous Beaver Nuggets, and a variety of locally inspired treats.
