Their due diligence is insane, so many vehicles per day on that interstate, so many miles away from the competition. They have brilliantly chosen many 'gap' exits where the next stop is 17, 20, 28 miles.
IF they ever stepped out West, I could see them going into Utah under the exact right conditions. But they are dedicated to filling in the blanks in the SEC right now.
It might literally be a decade before they go any further west of New Braunfels, a neat town but which isn't even all the way to San Antonio.
I live in Buc’ees Heaven...lol, there are 4 Buc’ees within 30 minutes of my house, and they are still building in North Texas. The population growth in North Texas is phenomenal. There’s Denton, Melissa (near McKinney), North Fort Worth, and Royce City, about a mile from where my granddaughters live.
They are adding a Buccees out here in Arizona.
