Summary
Mansfield City Council unanimously cleared Buc-ee’s plan for a second Ohio travel center, moving the project toward a 2028 opening near Interstate 71 and Route 39.
The 38-acre site would bring the chain closer to the Pennsylvania border, within about a three-hour drive of Pittsburgh, and a company representative said it could serve 100,000 customers a week.
Buc-ee’s told council the Mansfield location is expected to employ 175 to 225 people; an earlier report said the company also pledged $15 million for infrastructure tied to the project.
The Texas-based chain opened its first Ohio store in April — a 74,000-square-foot site with 100 fueling positions and 24 EV chargers — as it continues expanding beyond its more than 50 stores.
