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.
