Buc-ee's Gets Convenience Store OK | Colorado Springs News
Description
El Paso County Commissioners narrowly voted 4-1 to classify Buc-ee’s massive Tri-Lakes project as a convenience store, clearing a major zoning hurdle—but not the final green light. The decision hinges on whether the giant gas station with 120 pumps and 74K sq ft qualifies under local codes, which don’t cap size. Buc-ee’s argues it’s about convenience sales, including fuel, while opponents—over 160 of them—call it a travel center, not a neighborhood store. Though the vote favors the company, construction still faces hurdles in the administrative review process ahead.
