DAYTONA BEACH, Fla — Texas' beloved gas station Buc-ee's is expanding to Florida as the chain continues to take America by storm, one beaver nugget at a time!

Buc-ee's broke ground on its first Florida location in Daytona Beach on Monday. The chain only recently opened its first location outside of Texas back in January, when it built what's believed to be the biggest gas station in Alabama, according to Al.com.

"This morning I had the pleasure of joining Bucees for the groundbreaking ceremony of their new facility in Daytona Beach," tweeted Governor Ron DeSantis. "Our state remains ripe with opportunity and my administration will continue to strive to make Florida the ideal location for new and growing business."

According to Fox 35, the new location will provide over 200 jobs in the community paying above minimum wage and with benefits.

Guess what else Buc-ee's is bringing with them to Florida? TEXAS barbeque, kolaches and of course, beaver nuggets.

We hope you enjoy Buc-ee's, Florida!
