There’s one off I-45 Madisonville, Tx. I think it’s the ‘mall’ for the area residents too. Seems to always be hopping with many people whenever I stop in driving Dallas-Houston round trips. I recently bought some BBQ rub too.

Still, there are concerns about what such a massive facility could do to local businesses.

"That's something we take into consideration when any proposal comes in," Cooper said, "how is it going to affect the village as a whole.

 

Correct. This is the concern of many places where Buc-Cees is planning to build. A Buc-Cees is coming to Boerne, Texas. Many residents opposed it since it would mean that many more people and less business for locals stores. Not to mention the traffic.

Going to Buc-Cees is not a quick stop. Plan on at least 30 minutes. More if the traffic in and out of the place is heavy. As it usually is.

The jerky is just OK.

Our kid and spouse drive through an area of Texas from time to time that has Buc-ee's. They usually pick me up some jerky while there. I have to agree, much of it is just OK. I do like their Bohemian Garlic though. Pretty good flavor and texture.

I’m wondering if a Buc-Eees in Wisconsin will have a brats, cheese curds featured section? Does anyone know if those Deep South locations sell boiled peanuts?

“Going to Buc-Cees is not a quick stop. Plan on at least 30 minutes. More if the traffic in and out of the place is heavy. As it usually is.”

I like Buc-Cees but rarely stop at one because it is not a quick stop.

I have a friend who goes on a yearly weekend fishing trip with several other women on the Texas coast, one time they stopped at Buc-Cees for a bag of ice, 2 hours and 45 minutes later she finally got everyone back in the car. She no longer stops at Buc-Cees no matter how clean the restroom.

Buc-ee's is literally a life changing event. Check out the YouTube videos to see why.

Wisconsin has no idea what they are in for. I am so jeolous of them.

I still have to travel far out of my area for a Buc-ee's but I dream someday of having one on I-84 in Connecticut, somewhere between Danbury and Waterbury.

There is one in Florence, SC along I-95. It is quite the attraction and often very crowded.

They’re a great way to see a cross section of the car traveling American public. Which is basically grossly overweight and heavily tattooed

It’s the only gas station I’ve taken pics of and told stories about to friends and family.

It’s like going to see the Grand Canyon, only it’s a gas station.

I've been in both Buc 'cees in Tennessee as recently as last week.

Sorry, not impressed. It's like a Culvers, HomeGoods & Wayfair all got together under one roof, except the Culvers sells a ton of bbq pork / brisket sammiches and has 100 gas pumps.

For me, ethanol free gas is the ONLY reason to stop at Buc ‘cees. My truck runs MUCH better on it!

I want to take my best friend’s father there. He is absolutely identical to the Andy Griffin character - wholesome, sweet, just a salt of the earth old farm boy - and he would LOVE it!!!

Fun fact about him - he has never had bottled water. He saw me with one and said wonderingly, “Is that real water in a bottle?” It was too cute!

Not open but is coming so they say. We’ll see.

https://abc11.com/buc-ees-nc-gas-station-alamance-county/14035064/

MEBANE, N.C. (WTVD) — Buc-ee’s has filed a site plan for a mega convenience store in Mebane.

The iconic Texas-based business with the cleanest restrooms around wants to build a travel plaza along Interstate 85 and Interstate 40 in Alamance County.

“...but I dream someday of having one on I-84 in Connecticut, somewhere between Danbury and Waterbury.”

Contact their Corporate. If the ‘numbers crunch’ correctly, I’m sure they’d oblige you. ;)

This Bucee’s is too far away from me for everyday trips, but we do have a gift card to a nearby Fleet Farm that needs to be used, so maybe we can ‘make a day of it’ after the Bucee’s is open.

It’s the Little Things in life, ain’t it? LOL!
