Buc-ee’s begins site work in Mebane, major travel center planned for I-40 85
Buc-ee’s began leveling and grading work on November 18, 2025 for its first North Carolina travel center in Mebane, Alamance County, a project that promises more than 200 jobs and large scale traffic and retail activity. The planned 74,000 square foot facility with about 120 gas pumps and roughly 600 parking spaces raises questions about environmental impact, municipal permitting, and effects on local businesses.
