At the end of the speech, he gave Buc-ee’s owner and CEO, Arch Aplin III, a key to the city.

Aplin said he had been trying to get into Ohio for over a year, crediting the city leaders of Huber Heights for not only jumping on board but being eager.

The location is expected to be an economic boom for the city.

Aplin said it is expected to employ 200-250 people.

Barring any setbacks, the store is scheduled to be officially open around Christmas time 2025.
