World's Largest Buc-ees?

 

Gov. Ron DeSantis was in Marion County to announce the state is awarding a $4-million grant to help build a new interchange at Interstate 75 in Ocala. DeSantis said the new interchange — which has been in the works for years, according to the Florida Department of Transportation — will help traffic in the area. But really, the big announcement involved a massive gas station with an equally large cult following. DeSantis said the new Ocala location will be “massive” with 120 pumps, 720 parking spaces, and an 80,000-square-foot store which will now hold the name of being the largest Buc-ees worldwide!
