The popular travel center chain is known for having the cleanest restrooms in America, various fuel options, excellent food selections, cool souvenirs, and countless travel items.

The first Buc-ee's opened in 1982 in Texas, and to date, there are 45 locations across the US. However, there are no Michigan locations.

As of now, the closest Buc-ee's to Michigan is in Richmond, Kentucky. That drive will take roughly 8 and a half hours.

That drive will be shortened when Buc-ee's opens its first Ohio store in Huber Heights. If you live in the Detroit area you are looking at only a 3-hour drive. From Flint, drivers should expect a little less than 4 hours of travel time. If you live in the UP, just have someone ship you something from Buc-ee's.

The Huber Heights Buc-ee's will be located at Intersection 70 and Exit 235. Reports indicate that is just seven miles off of I-75. An exact opening date has yet to be announced.

In the meantime, you can check out the top 15 foods you need to try at Buc-ee's in the video below. The video was my first introduction to Beaver Nuggets, apparently, they are a favorite among Buc-ee's fans.

From fresh barbecue to breakfast burritos, and every snack in between, Buc-ee's has travelers covered.

If anyone at Buc-cee's headquarters is reading this, please consider this your formal invitation to open a store in the Great Lakes State.

Until then, we will see you in Kentucky, and soon in Ohio.
