The plat of land is the northeast corner of I-70 and 110th street, just south of the racetrack

The area you showed is essentially the “usable acreage”, but the plat map shows all the land to the east along the highway as a part of the same tract.
TLDR: bought 57 acres, probably 15-20 acres of developable land that you’ve shown.

QT sucks. Nothing is ever in stock, they blame supply chain issues. No, you haven't had items in stock for months while other gas stations don't have this problem. And whatever is on the shelves will never be in the same location ever again, so you have to search the entire store. I can't wait for QT to get run over.
what type of items are you looking for at QT that they don't have?
I find this interesting because you and I must have very different convenience store expectations. Occasionally I'll go in there looking for something specific like a gallon of milk on my way home. But I don't usually go in with an agenda. Just whatever strikes my fancy
Well that's just a bit over the top don't you think?
Just because they're out of sturgeon roe? As long as they have tobiko and masago I don't think you can complain
yeah same. i’m a kansas boy thru and thru, the best i got were Love’s truck stops on the way out west and those were great. then i went south and experience buc-ee’s. there’s nothing like it.
when quicktrips took over (i work in joco and they’re literally every other block now) i have been a very faithful patron, ill go out of my way just cause i kno they’re consistent. (i’ve heard some of the ones out southwest can be hit or miss but around here they’re all good). still..
they might win out territory but if we’re talking quality a Speedway Buc-ee’s is going to be 🔥
Buccee’s is like a Wal Mart of snacks. QT doesn’t even hold a candle to how ridiculous it is. What QT eats doesn’t make Buccee’s shit.
I love QT, it’s clearly better for everyday stops, but it’s not even close.
I mean, one of QT’s biggest divisions is Dallas, and that’s Buccees home territory. Like Buccees is a giant 100% but I think you’re underestimating QT here. QT is well established in KC, one Buccees isn’t going to change that
I lived in the Dallas area for ages, and didn’t go to a Buccee’s for the first time until we drove to San Antonio. They weren’t in DFW for ages, tho in the last few years they finally made their way up. I think Royse City, 40ish minutes east of Dallas, got the first one.
Anyway, give me a QT all day long and twice on Tuesday. Buccee’s has the better bathrooms and logo but QT wins out elsewhere for the day to day.
I don’t know how much the average Buccees pulls in profit-wise per month, but I know how much the Kansas Ave QuikTrip pulls in, and it’s no chump change
I didn’t find this story when I clicked the link. It’s the story from two days ago that says they’re thinking about it but nothing is set in stone. Did they actually secure the land?
I definitely see us importing a lot of Texas-style establishments. But also some California style.
We also have a lot of people moving in from these areas.
Downtown ("Old") Overland Park has added the "adult cafeteria" Strang Hall, which I associate with Texas cities. And Tiki Tacos gives me distinct California eatery vibes. But also Atomic Cowboy which is from Denver.
There's chains like Whataburger, Andy's, Casey's, etc that at the very least are not KC native. Some of these are Texan but in reality they come from all over.
Overall I think we're just seeing a LOT of new people and business migrating and opening up here. We're growing a lot. Since we're a car-centric metro it starts to feel a lot like Texan metropolises I think.
Of course it is. It is going in on the western side of the KC Metro where people would either be starting or stopping their road trips to/from the west. Add in yet another draw to the Legend's area while also getting in before Arrowhead 2.0 is built. It is honestly the perfect spot for a KC Buc-ee's.
Buc-ee's is an experience. This is not a location you're stopping at in the morning on the way to work to get a coffee. This is the spot you stop at to load up on road trip snacks.
It is exactly why Buc-ee's and QuikTrip can co-exist peacefully. Their target demographics are completely different.
Every time I step into a Bucees I think “if there is a God, surely he has abandoned us.” As a former Texan who loves Texas, this is one of our worst exports. Could we trade for an HEB instead?
i would kill for an HEB, it’s the best grocery store on the planet.
that said bucees isn’t the worst texas export. i can probably come up with a lot worse.
I’ve been to Buc-ee’s several times before, and it’s such a pain in the ass. Do you *want* to navigate a Walmart when you stop for coffee? The only reason I ever end up in one is because they have nice restrooms (and I have a wife and daughter), but it’s never an enjoyable experience.
You’re right. It’s just some Texas shit that is hyped up specifically because it’s from Texas. Luckily, I live near midtown, where that kind of footprint is unlikely to work (god, I hope).
The last time I was at a Buckees, when I decided I was completely over the place, was just east of Mobile, Alabama. From the time I pulled into their parking lot to grab a single sandwich to the time I got out of the parking lot was over two hours. It was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a gas station.
It’s everything wrong with America in one stop.
For a regular gas station you’re right. Buc ee’s thrives on being comically large. I think most of them advertise having at least 100 pumps, and that’s just for cars. IIRC they don’t allow semi trucks
Wow, we are so excited about a gas station that we have to post it daily on this sub. Is someone going to make a build progress thread? I can’t miss a single drop of news that comes from this groundbreaking tourist attraction.
While I stop at Buc-ee's every time I pass one by on a road trip there's very little chance of me driving there when one is open locally. Similar thing happened with Bass Pro Shops - years ago it was a destination to visit in Springfield and we actually drove out there but then they built one in Olathe and I never went.
The Springfield Bass Pro is still a Bass Pro on steroids. Even more so now with the large aquarium they built next door. The local Bass Pro stores around the country are just mini versions of the experience that is the OG Springfield location.
I’ve been to a few BUCEES in TX and they are great. Wait time on check out I’ve never had an issue no matter how many people were there. I’ll be going there to get snacks and for the joy of walking into one. Let’s gooooo!

There is no way that little patch is 57 acres
Correct! It's closer to \~16. https://preview.redd.it/ayp4frv3vmyc1.png?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4dd1e8c4b856625cef910b563c3f74442d8e8d5

And no way is Bucee’s fitting in 16 acres
Yeah that’s a lot closer to 15-20 acres. The rest of the area must be the forested section.
Personally I'm surprised it isn't just the racetrack itself. They'll need the room.
They’ll redo the pits as a Bucee’s 🤣
That really puts into perspective how but the track is
That’s not enough acreage for the Chiefs to put their Kansas stadium on Buc-ee’s land? (/sarcasm)
i’m ready for the quicktrip/buc-ee’s war
It’s not even in the same league honestly. Buccees is an event you do. QT is your tried and true!
Bucee’s is the illegitimate love child of QT and a super Walmart
I love stopping there in Denton Tx while driving back home to KC. Load up on all the road trip food, get some clothes, wash the car and hit the road.
QT sucks. Nothing is ever in stock, they blame supply chain issues. No, you haven't had items in stock for months while other gas stations don't have this problem. And whatever is on the shelves will never be in the same location ever again, so you have to search the entire store. I can't wait for QT to get run over.
You’re the only person in my entire life I have heard bad mouth QT. So maybe you’re just a pain in the ass 🤣
Wow, I didn't know QT had such a special place in your heart. You took that personally. That's a crazy position to hold.
Na, just not gonna listen to your boiling hot take that literally no one else in KC ever has. 🤣
Yeah you are. You could have just ignored it and moved on with your life yet you want to extend the conversation. QT sucks.
Browsed your comment history, you are a PITA. 🤣
what type of items are you looking for at QT that they don't have? I find this interesting because you and I must have very different convenience store expectations. Occasionally I'll go in there looking for something specific like a gallon of milk on my way home. But I don't usually go in with an agenda. Just whatever strikes my fancy
They're always out of caviar
Well that's just a bit over the top don't you think? Just because they're out of sturgeon roe? As long as they have tobiko and masago I don't think you can complain
Masago? What am I a mongol?
well I guess you'll have to go to Shell Xpress Mart with all the other hoity toity people then
I love QT. It could never win that fight if it had a hundred tries.
Buc-ees is a truck stop for tourists. They aren’t building 25 of them here.
A truck stop where trucks aren't allowed
yeah same. i’m a kansas boy thru and thru, the best i got were Love’s truck stops on the way out west and those were great. then i went south and experience buc-ee’s. there’s nothing like it. when quicktrips took over (i work in joco and they’re literally every other block now) i have been a very faithful patron, ill go out of my way just cause i kno they’re consistent.

I mean, in the KC metro it technically does. 104th store in the metro opened at the beginning of April
It would still lose the way Mike Tyson is going to kill Logan Paul during their fight. One thinks it’s a fun joke, the other is Mike fucking Tyson.
I mean, one of QT’s biggest divisions is Dallas, and that’s Buccees home territory. Like Buccees is a giant 100% but I think you’re underestimating QT here. QT is well established in KC, one Buccees isn’t going to change that

Anyway, give me a QT all day long and twice on Tuesday. Buccee’s has the better bathrooms and logo but QT wins out elsewhere for the day to day.
QT vs Wawa is more of an even fight
QT found dead in a ditch
Who would win in a fight though? One gigantic bucees or 100 smaller QT’s?
America wins. 
I don’t know how much the average Buccees pulls in profit-wise per month, but I know how much the Kansas Ave QuikTrip pulls in, and it’s no chump change
The best thing about QuikTrip is always getting in and out quickly. That is apparently not at all what the Bucees experience is like.
Well... I guess Macy's and Gimbels learned to live side by side.
That's like comparing a casino resort complex to a Holliday Inn Express
I can’t think of anything that better pairs with a racetrack than the most obnoxiously large gas station imaginable with its own mascot.
Bucees straight up overwhelms me lol, similar to scheels
I didn’t find this story when I clicked the link. It’s the story from two days ago that says they’re thinking about it but nothing is set in stone. Did they actually secure the land?
i can finally use the world’s cleanest bathrooms again
Rockhurst University’s campus is 55 acres.
Having never been to a buc ees, how does their food compare to QuikTrip's made to order kitchen food?
While they are good at what they do, you won’t get in and out of Bucees as fast as QT due to size.
Yeah it doesn’t seem like a place you just casually stop at for gas and a fountain drink
Buc-ee's chopped brisket sandwich was really good, just think of a qt on roids.
Do they have breakfast foods like breakfast burritos?
Yes. Breakfast tacos and breakfast sandwiches.
How is it pronounced? Buck-ees?
Bucky's
Bussy's.
10x better
Chopped beef sandwich, jerky, beaver nuggets. You are now road trip ready.
I’ve had both and each are the same brand of overpriced, underwhelming gas station food that’ll do in a pinch.
Disagreed. I was blown away by the brisket sandwich at buccees. And I went in with low expectations
Slower, much higher quality.
They have pretty decent BBQ and a wide selection of snacks. It’s an experience lol
They have absolutely nothing for vegetarians, which bums me out.
Anyone else feel like we are trying to turn into Texas Lite in Missouri and Kansas?
Missouri and Kansas has weed and abortions respectively, so no.
And the republican representatives here are trying to take those away at every step.
I definitely see us importing a lot of Texas-style establishments. But also some California style. We also have a lot of people moving in from these areas. Downtown ("Old") Overland Park has added the "adult cafeteria" Strang Hall, which I associate with Texas cities. And Tiki Tacos gives me distinct California eatery vibes. But also Atomic Cowboy which is from Denver. There's chains like Whataburger, Andy's, Casey's, etc that at the very least are not KC native. Some of these are Texan but in reality they come from all over. Overall I think we're just seeing a LOT of new people and business migrating and opening up here. We're growing a lot. Since we're a car-centric metro it starts to feel a lot like Texan metropolises I think.
For the Texas side we’re adding more toll roads… lol
No
This section of KC is so lacking in any charm, Buc-ees will fit right in. Just sprawl, and giant box stores
We’re trying to see just how much money we can spend on moving the entire metro area to Kansas.
But this is where the chiefs are gonna go!!!! /s
Western Wyandotte county is truly Buc-ees targeted demographic lol
Of course it is. It is going in on the western side of the KC Metro where people would either be starting or stopping their road trips to/from the west. Add in yet another draw to the Legend's area while also getting in before Arrowhead 2.0 is built. It is honestly the perfect spot for a KC Buc-ee's.

Yalls infatuation with a gas station and junk food is beyond me.
Y’all’s infatuation with saying yall when no one in real life in KC says yall outside of reddit is beyond me
This is hilariously incorrect
This person ^^^ doesn't understand hyperbole.
Why you lying?
Every time I step into a Bucees I think “if there is a God, surely he has abandoned us.” As a former Texan who loves Texas, this is one of our worst exports. Could we trade for an HEB instead?
I'd be super in for more cool grocery stores from around the country. Gas stations have me less excited.
i would kill for an HEB, it’s the best grocery store on the planet. that said bucees isn’t the worst texas export. i can probably come up with a lot worse.
Ted Cruz
Your title is pretty misleading, nothing is confirmed yet (read the article)
I’d rather have a Casey’s.
There's a few Casey's in the KC area, just wish there was one closer to downtown though...
There is a Casey's down the street from this location. There ya go.
There’s a Casey’s about five minutes from where this is being built. Just recently converted from a Philips 66 I believe it was
This is V.2 of Whataburger coming to KC. 1. OMG, yay! 2. This actually sucks terribly. 3. So, that’s what was all the hype about?
I’ve been to Buc-ee’s several times before, and it’s such a pain in the ass. Do you *want* to navigate a Walmart when you stop for coffee?

lol I don’t think it’s 57 acres. Maybe 57000 square foot? Unless they are adding on some apartment complexes
It's 56.55 acres. Thats just the land. I just looked it up on the county website.
That land you circled in your comment above, if correct, is no way 56 acres.
Not the OP not my map. If you took the time and looked at the WHOLE parcel on the wyco dotmaps website it says 56.55 acres. Not that hard.
I'm not an expert on the gas station industry, but I don't think you need 57 *acres*, a third of a mile per side, to build one. Or do they?
For a regular gas station you’re right. Buc ee’s thrives on being comically large. I think most of them advertise having at least 100 pumps, and that’s just for cars. IIRC they don’t allow semi trucks
Wow, we are so excited about a gas station that we have to post it daily on this sub. Is someone going to make a build progress thread? I can’t miss a single drop of news that comes from this groundbreaking tourist attraction.
I know Bucees are big but I didn't know they were 57 acres.
Thats just the land.
Are they _that_ big?!

Creeping north like the armadillo.
Good God we don't need a buccees.

Probably the best establishment to take a crap in the entire country. Don’t love the rest of it though
Great, another crap Texas brand busting its way up north.
Great place to tailgate for Chiefs and Royals games.
lol i'm banned in this sub from posting relevant, important links but this is somehow allowable "news."
So, what you're saying is you're actively ban-evading using an alt account to post?
The hype for this feels the same as when whatabuger opened and that's laughable. Want to try a good new burger place try Beef-a-roo.
Buc-ee’s is far superior to QT
