Buc-ee’s, a near-highway megachurch and pilgrimage destination for the uniquely American blend of comfort, commerce, spectacle, and hometown folksiness, stands unrivaled. It singlehandedly creates family memories, feeds our most desperate attempts to fill various God-shaped and antisocially created holes, raises up some of our most disavowed and disaffected, hooks us on sugar and stupid white-labeled landfill filler, and puts smiles on millions upon millions of traveling American faces. Paradoxical cultural phenomenon, beloved landmark, bona fide megastore, and bearer of the American spirit, I salute you.

Why didn’t Cracker Barrel C suite get together and take a lesson? They sold out that’s why. They tanked their stock

They might put a Buc-ees in Meridian, Idaho. Idaho is just Texas with colder weather and no funny accents anyway, right?

They are the next target bank it. Buccee’s better watch their flank. They are exactly who the left targets for destruction.

Good place to buy gas and a bathroom break. That’s about it.

If only their food was good. Those sandwiches suck! I was so excited to get one that I drove two hours with family for one. Awful and expensive!

Buc-ee’s on I95 just outside St. Augustine is pretty awesome. 60,000sf of convenience store! Serves some of th best brisket for miles around. Just be careful when you buy a bag of Buc-ee nuggets, once you start eating them it’s not possible to stop. Just my $.02.

Not so fast. The leftists tried to cancel In and Out burgers for their religious messages on their drink cups and it was a spectacular failure.

I live in CA and visit my son and his family in Fort Collins. I’ve been to that store several times and now make a point of stopping there on my way to FC from Denver
