The Mebane City Council unanimously approved plans for North Carolina's first Buc-ee's store, according to the Charlotte Observer.

The location will sit off of exit 152 on Interstate 40 in Alamance County at 1425 Trollingwood-Hawfields Road.

The site – purchased by Buc-ee's affiliate CSMS Management LLC for $12.8 million in October according to the Observer – will house a 74,000-square-foot store, 120 gas pumps and 24 electric car charging stations.
