SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - The much-anticipated opening of Buc-ee’s in Springfield happens on Monday.

The doors open at 6 a.m. The store is at 3284 N. Mulroy Road, off of I-44, north of Springfield. The travel center is 53,000 square feet. It offers 120 fueling positions. Buc-ee’s is known for its clean restrooms, fresh food, and friendly beaver mascot. The Texas-based travel center attracts tourists from all over to experience its food, snacks, and merchandise extravagance.

If you plan to be an early bird, there are some rules. Buc-ee’s does not allow tents or other temporary structures to be constructed outside the store. Management will let you wait outside the building.
