A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for 11 a.m. Monday with local and state leaders.

The 74,000-square-foot Johnstown travel center has 116 fueling positions and 12 EV charging stations.

Known for its award-winning clean bathrooms. All Buc-ee’s operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The store will serve Buc-ee’s favorites including Beaver nuggets, Texas barbeque, fudge, kolaches, jerky and pastries.

“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.”
