Buc-ee's Greenwood, Indiana - Coming 2028
Indiana's first Buc-ee's is planned for Greenwood off Interstate 65 in Johnson County, with an expected opening in 2028 or later.
Indiana's First Buc-ee's Planned for Greenwood
The Hoosier State is set to welcome its first Buc-ee's! The Texas-based travel center chain is in late-stage discussions to open a location in Greenwood, a suburb south of Indianapolis, with an expected opening of 2028 or later.
Location Details
Buc-ee's is nearing a deal to purchase a nearly 28-acre site off East Worthsville Road and Interstate 65 in Greenwood, Johnson County. The company has signed a letter of intent for the property and is working to acquire portions of neighboring parcels for right-of-ways, utilities, and other infrastructure needs.
Timeline
The project is progressing through several phases:
Property purchase expected to close in 2026 after a six-month inspection and due diligence period
Rezoning required from current industrial designation to commercial use
Development agreement with the City of Greenwood still being finalized
Construction expected to take approximately two years once started
Infrastructure Requirements
The development agreement is expected to include plans for:
Widening of Worthsville Road
New intersection design at County Road 250 East
Additional utility and access improvements
Strategic Location
The Greenwood site positions Buc-ee's along one of Indiana's busiest travel corridors. I-65 connects Indianapolis to Louisville, Kentucky and Chicago, Illinois, making it a prime location for the chain's signature road trip experience.
What This Means for Indiana
This will be Indiana's first Buc-ee's location, bringing the famous clean restrooms, fresh barbecue, Beaver Nuggets, and unique merchandise to a state that has long awaited the chain's arrival. Buc-ee's has reportedly spent several years evaluating sites across Indiana, primarily along Interstates 65 and 70.
