Buc-ee's plans first Indiana location

Buc-ee's is expanding its footprint into the Midwest, including a planned 74,000-square-foot facility in Greenwood, Indiana, featuring 120 fueling stations. The store is expected to open in 2028 or later. While the company pursues new sites in Indiana, Ohio, and potentially Iowa, it is currently facing public backlash in Ohio. This friction stems from a trademark infringement lawsuit Buc-ee's filed against Beaver's Mini Mart in Beavercreek over the use of a beaver logo.
