The first Buc-ee's location in Mississippi opens today on I-10 in Pass Christian, about an hour away from New Orleans.
Local residents and businesses agree that the massive travel stop is likely to bring jobs and visitors to the area.
A spokesman for the Mississippi Highway Patrol says they expect more traffic than usual in the area because of the store's opening, and they're assigning more troopers to the I-10 corridor to handle the volume.
