ST. LUCIE COUNTY, Fla. – Drivers in Florida will have beaver nuggets and brisket sandwiches to look forward to during their next gas stop on the Treasure Coast.

A fourth Buc-ee’s is one step closer to being built in Florida, after the St. Lucie County commission voted to change the county’s sign rules to allow the business to build a 100-foot-tall sign on Tuesday.

The change would allow signs up to 100 feet tall and 640 square feet in area of Indrio Road and I-95, if the property has a planned retail workplace zoning designation.

The sign would be situated at the northwest corner of the business which would include an 80,000-square foot travel center, 120 fuel pumps and more than 720 parking spots.

County records show the Buc-ee’s development has in the works since Feb. 2024.

Last April, Governor Ron DeSantis awarded $4 million to the Florida Department of Transportation to add a new interchange on I-75 in Marion County. The interchange in Ocala is another planned Buc-ee’s site.

The project is expected to bring at least 1,500 new jobs to the state of Florida.

The other Buc-ee’s locations in Florida are in St. Augustine and Daytona Beach.
