Colorado’s second Buc-ee’s likely off the table as annexation request reportedly withdrawn

Mar 14, 2025, 3:52 PM | Updated: 8:23 pm

If you live in the south part of Denver and you were thinking you might be getting closer to having Beaver Nuggets or whatever else you like from Buc-ee’s a lot closer to you, it’s probably not going to happen…

According to a community nonprofit that challenged the legality of the annexation process for a proposed Buc-ee’s travel center in Palmer Lake, Colorado, the request for annexation has been withdrawn for the development, meaning there won’t be a Buc-ee’s going there at least for now.

The community groups Integrity Matters and TriLakes Preservation, which previously sued the town of Palmer Lake over allegations of statutory and constitutional violations said in part that with the annexation request withdrawn, it moots the lawsuit, but it validates that their legal challenge was justified.

There has been no comment from Buc-ee’s or the folks who were pro-building the convenience store.
