Buc-ee's Whitestown, Indiana - Coming 2028

Whitestown Emerges as Potential Second Indiana Buc-ee's Location

Central Indiana could be getting not one, but two Buc-ee's locations. The company is evaluating a site in Whitestown, Boone County, as a potential second Indiana store, with an expected opening of 2028 or later.

Location

The potential Whitestown site is located along County Road 550 South near the I-65 interchange. This puts it approximately 40 miles north of the planned Greenwood location, making these two stores the closest pair of Buc-ee's locations outside of Texas.

Current Status

While the Greenwood project is further along with an agreement in principle, Buc-ee's is actively evaluating the Whitestown site. The company has confirmed interest in both central Indiana locations as part of its broader expansion strategy.

Timeline

Similar to the Greenwood location, construction would likely take about two years once started, putting a potential opening in 2028 or later. The exact timeline will depend on:

• Final site selection and property acquisition
• Local permitting and approvals
• Infrastructure development needs

Strategic Positioning

The Whitestown location would serve the northern Indianapolis metro area and travelers heading between Indianapolis and Chicago on I-65. Combined with the Greenwood store to the south, Buc-ee's would have a significant presence along the I-65 corridor through central Indiana.

Indiana Expansion

Sources indicate Buc-ee's has spent several years evaluating sites across Indiana, primarily along Interstates 65 and 70. The company remains open to additional Indiana locations beyond these initial two sites.
