Buc-ee's makes $11.5M land buy in Port Charlotte

A national travel center chain known for its abundance of fuel pumps and clean bathrooms — and cult fan following — has purchased land for $11.5 million in Port Charlotte. Buc-ee’s Port Charlotte LLC closed on the property at 25999 Harborview Road on June 25, according to Charlotte County property records.

The buyer’s intended use for the 28.03-acre Port Charlotte property is a “Buc-ee’s family travel center, including fueling stations and retail store” that is “similar or greater in size” compared with other Buc-ee’s family travel centers in Florida, according to the deed filed in Charlotte County.
