The American travel center Buc-ee's is looking to move their first location into the Sooner State. Oklahoma City announced they are in talks to bring a location to town soon. 

What they're saying:

Oklahoma City Mayor David Hold said they are in "very active conversations" about opening a location along Interstate 40.  

"I can now finally confirm that we are in very active conversations with Buc-ee’s about their first location in Oklahoma City (and the State of Oklahoma), which will be located at Interstate 40 and Cimarron Road in West OKC," Holt wrote.

Buc-ee's have recently made a significant push into new states with their president and co-founder focusing on what he called "business-friendly" states. 

Buc-ee’s recently announced plans to expand into seven new states — Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
