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.

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.

This will be Wisconsin’s 2nd Buc-ee’s. And, yes. There was a LOT of tooth-gnashing over building the first one. Kwik Trip, which is like 1/100th of the size and amazingly awesome has Total Customer Loyalty...and that’s been well-earned. These ‘Mega Stations’ are for people passing through.

The locations for these monstrosities (in any Midwest state) are usually farm land near the Interstate that’s owned by an Old Farmer that doesn’t want to farm anymore and is given Top Dollar for their land.

I can’t fault them for that. Living life next to an Interstate Highway must be Hell on Earth. They’ve served their penance. ;)
