The Shadow
ROCKINGHAM, Va. (VR) – On Monday, June 30, Governor Glenn Youngkin, First Lady of Virginia Suzanne S. Youngkin, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, along with federal, state and local officials, joined Buc-ee’s founder and CEO Arch “Beaver” Aplin III for the official ribbon-cutting of Virginia’s first Buc-ee’s center, celebrating another major economic investment into the Commonwealth.
Located at the intersection of Friedens Church Road and I-81 in Rockingham County, the new 74,000 square-foot facility represents Buc-ee’s most northeastern expansion, opening the brand to new customers previously unfamiliar with its destination travel experience.
“Virginia is proud to welcome Buc-ee’s to the Commonwealth,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “Buc-ee’s is the latest in a long line of businesses setting up shop in the Commonwealth. As I have been saying all along, Virginia is open for business! With record capital investment from companies building their future here and more than 271,500 new jobs since January 2022, Virginia is soaring. I’m proud to give Buc-ee’s a warm Virginia welcome as they open the next chapter of their story here in Virginia, bringing 200 jobs and an investment of more than $60 million into Rockingham County.”
