Small businesses feeling impacts of increased traffic caused by Buc-ee’s
SUMMARY: One month after Buc-ee’s opened in South Mississippi, its food and merchandise are popular, but traffic around its single-entrance roundabout is causing issues. Michelle Englett, local business owner, says the roundabout creates heavy congestion, confusing drivers and blocking access to nearby shops. The design directs customers straight to Buc-ee’s, reducing traffic for other businesses. While some visitors find it easy to navigate, they rarely explore beyond Buc-ee’s. Workers at nearby stores suggest solutions, such as additional entrances, employee parking, or a service road to better manage traffic flow and support local commerce.
