CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla — Disney World or convenience store? Either way, Southwest Florida could be getting its first Buc-ee's.
The chain went public and announced they are looking to buy some land on Harborview Road and I-75.
Port Charlotte resident says, "I love Buc-ees, I think it would do really great especially with the population here, but Buc-ee's are always usually pretty busy. It would probably increase the traffic here."

"A lot of people are getting really excited and concerned at the same time about the Buc-ee's...until something's in the ground...there's a lot of steps that they need to go through," Cullinan says.
The Charlotte Board of Commissioners will talk about the project at next month's meeting.
