MEBANE, N.C. — A city planning board in Alamance County voted Monday against recommending what would be North Carolina’s first Buc-ee’s.
The iconic, Texas-based convenience store and gas station has an almost cult-like following.
Plans for the possible North Carolina location call for it to be built in Mebane off of Exit 152 of I-40 and I-85.
The entire project will feature a 74,000-square-foot building, with 120 gas pumps and more than 600 parking spaces.
The Mebane Planning Board’s decision didn’t kill the project.
The Mebane City Council will have the final say and can still greenlight it.
