Located at 5201 Nugget Road (the southwest corner of I-25 and County Road 48), Buc-ee’s Johnstown is the first Buc-ee’s travel center in Colorado. Buc-ee’s Johnstown will occupy 74,000 square feet and offer 116 fueling positions and 12 EV charging stations just outside its store with thousands of snack, meal and drink options for travelers on the go.

Since beginning its multi-state expansion in 2019, Buc-ee’s has opened travel centers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri. Buc-ee’s broke ground on the first Virginia location earlier this year.

“We picked a great partner in the community of Johnstown for our first store in Colorado,” said Stan Beard of Buc-ee’s. “At the foothills of the beautiful Northern Front Range, this Buc-ee’s will introduce all sorts of bikers, hikers, skiers, and campers to the cleanest restrooms, friendliest staff, and freshest food they’ll ever find on a road trip.”

Buc-ee’s Johnstown will bring more than 200 new, permanent, full-time jobs to the area with starting pay beginning well above minimum wage, full benefits, a 6% matching 401k, and three weeks of paid vacation.
