Buc-ee's, a well-known gas and convenience store chain, has announced plans to open its first Wisconsin stores.

The first of many meetings on the newly proposed Buc-ee’s in Oak Creek took place Tuesday evening in front of many residents who neighbor the project’s proposed location near the Interstate 94/Elm Road interchange.

WMTV 15 News spoke with Village President Jane Cahill Wolfgram on Wednesday, and she gave several updates on where the project stands.
