I always guessed the name Buc-ees was a play on the name Stuckey’s that I loved going to as a kid. If my dad only knew how many times I faked needing to go to the restroom (he probably had a good idea lol)…
I loved Stuckey’s when I was a kid also. Sorry to see them go. I loved the Pecan Divinity candy. However, they don’t even compare toa Buc-cees. The first time I stopped was from curiosity because I saw this huge convenience store with a whole bunch of gas pumps. I walked into the Men’s room and was flabbergasted. The floor was cleaner than most plates. I have spent a few dollars at their stores.
There are still a handful of Stuckey’s left. I was in one in Virginia a few weeks ago. Even bought a Pecan Log.
Pecan log rolls! Yes!!
