Yes, major projects such as Buc-ee’s will generate many jobs during construction and afterwards. While the store is being constructed, there are jobs for contractors, construction workers, engineers, electricians, and suppliers. Once open, it provides permanent employment for cashiers, managers, cleaners, food service workers and maintenance personnel. Several forum posters have noted that the Buc-ee’s approval to build in Monroe County is perhaps one of the biggest commercial opportunities in recent years. This means not only direct jobs but also indirect jobs for local restaurants, hotels, and other service providers. Buc-ee’s also tend to drive inter-county tourism, bringing people into the area. There is particular anticipation among those seeking employment in retail and hospitality because they are known to have many employees and to pay higher wages than other convenience stores.
