There's big news coming for SEC fans who also love Buc-ee's. The convenience superstore giant is expanding into seven states over the next two years, according to a report by Tasting Table.

The Texas-based travel center is headed to Louisiana and Arkansas for the first time, leaving Oklahoma as the lone SEC-sponsored state without a location. The expansion to several states, primarily across the South, has been vast over the past five years.

While the Sooners have an abundance of Love's stations throughout the state, the effort feels empty without Buc-ee's.

Each new Buc-ee's store boasts a wealth of opportunity for the local community as well as visitors, according to Tasting Table.

"Every travel center brings more than 200 full-time jobs starting at well-above minimum wage and offering full benefits, three weeks of PTO, and a 6% 401K matching (hiring so many employees for every store is one reason why Buc-ee's has some of the cleanest bathrooms in America). Buc-ee's can also be counted on to drive potential customers to small towns they might have otherwise skipped right over, boosting local economies along U.S. highways and interstates."
