The Buc-ee's in Springfield Missouri on I-44 will open December 11. First store in Missouri and closest to Tulsa. It will be interesting how much traffic patterns change for tourist heading to Branson coming from I-44 West (Joplin and Oklahoma) to continue on I-44 instead of taking the current south James River freeway bypass to Highway 65.

The Springfield store would probably prevent any other store from being built along I-44 between Tulsa and St. Louis.
