Buc-ee's Meridian, Idaho - Coming Soon

Idaho's First Buc-ee's Coming to Meridian

The Gem State is getting its first Buc-ee's! The Texas-based travel center chain is planning a location in Meridian, Idaho, near the intersection of Interstate 84 and Meridian Road. While still in early planning stages as of early 2026, this would mark Buc-ee's expansion into the Pacific Northwest region.

Location

The proposed Buc-ee's location is in Meridian, a rapidly growing city in Ada County just west of Boise. The site near I-84 and Meridian Road would provide excellent accessibility for both local residents and travelers on one of Idaho's busiest interstate corridors connecting Boise to Salt Lake City and points east.

Store Specifications

• Approximately 74,000 square feet of retail space

• 100+ fueling positions

• Electric vehicle charging stations expected

• Full range of Buc-ee's favorites including Texas BBQ, Beaver Nuggets, and fresh fudge

• Famous clean restrooms

Investment

The Meridian location represents a $50 million+ investment, bringing significant economic development to the area. Like other Buc-ee's locations, it will create substantial employment opportunities for the local community.

Economic Impact

Based on similar Buc-ee's developments, the Meridian store is expected to bring:
200+ full-time positions
Competitive wages starting well above minimum wage
Full benefits package for employees
Significant sales tax revenue for Ada County

Strategic Location

Meridian sits at the heart of Idaho's Treasure Valley, one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States. The I-84 corridor sees heavy traffic from travelers between Boise, Salt Lake City, and the Pacific Northwest. This location would serve both the booming local population and the millions of travelers passing through annually.

What This Means for Idaho

This will be Idaho's first Buc-ee's location, expanding the chain's presence into the Pacific Northwest. The Meridian location joins Buc-ee's growing western expansion alongside stores planned or open in Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. For Idahoans who have experienced Buc-ee's while traveling, the wait to have one in their own backyard is nearly over.
