As gas stations go, there are few chains that have managed to capture the attention of travelers — and eaters — like Buc-ee’s. The Texas-born chain is a highway oasis, boasting a slew of clean bathrooms, a dizzying array of snacks and prepared foods, and tons of merch emblazoned with the chipper face of its mascot, a beaver named Bucky. [...]
Founded in 1982, the chain slowly built a local cult following and in 2001, owner Arch “Beaver” Aplin expanded the convenience store into a full-fledged travel center in Luling, Texas. More locations popped up across the state in the following years, and by 2019, the chain expanded outside of the state with a location in Robertsdale, Alabama. Buc-ee’s has continued expanding at an impressive clip since then, opening locations in Georgia, Florida, and soon, Tennessee.

**This leftist hag/hack is just “another bump in the road”.**
If the pic of her face is any indication, she would be a rather big bump in the road.
The glasses don’t help. Now a welding helmet.....
Yep.
Big glasses, smirk, looks like crazy.
Making someone miserable, and probably herself too.
There are still a handful of Stuckey’s left. I was in one in Virginia a few weeks ago. Even bought a Pecan Log.
Cue Yogi Berra - no one goes there any longer, it's too crowded.
Almost everyone traveling between San Antonio and Houston stops at the Buc-ee’s in Luling. It is an OASIS!!
Snowflake alert !!!!!!
The aerial shots make it look like a military installation. Amazingly huge. Dwarfs the gas super-stations we have around here.
Pecan log rolls! Yes!!
She also looks like she would like beaver nuggets. Not sure what she is complaining about.
Snowflakes are always “anxious” and must be avoided at all time! You can evidentially go to Buc-ee’s and be free of them.
“Nobody goes there anymore because it’s too crowded” is a very idiotic statement. Would you call it an oxymoron or just moronic?
Chubby liberal girl has it wrong. On long road trips buccees has reasonable priced gas, clean bathrooms, and lots of food. Seems like a good Texas company being successful by treating customers right.
Ya think she’s gonna vote for Beto?
Trash a business because she doesn’t agree with who it makes political contributions to. Chubby putz.
I know nothing about the political views of buccees. But any company donating to either or both parties wouldn’t shock me. If influence and favor is needed, it’s just a cost of doing business.
What a steaming pile.
This is why I can’t talk to liberals.
“ My disenchantment with the chain might also have something to do with the fact that founder Arch Aplin is a financial supporter of the some of the state’s most loathsome politicians. He’s given more than a million dollars to Gov. Greg Abbott, who signed the country’s most restrictive abortion ban into law in 2021, and donated to the campaign for Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is currently under indictment for alleged securities fraud. The donations sparked a minor controversy, with some Democrats vowing to boycott the chain, but the boycott never gained much traction.”
Oh, good grief. Grow up.
It appears that she is GenZ, “The Lost Generation”.
You’re exactly right, luvie.
