Buc-ee’s

If you don’t know I’m sad for you.

Now to have the discipline to not eat all this jerky in one sitting.

Thank you for your sympathy. I do not know about this "Buc-ee's"

A Texas thing. It's like the old Stuckey's but on steroids. I stop there to use the restrooms on long trips. They are huge and always clean. No wait to take a leak.

Just grab some tacos from Torchy's and save (some of) the jerky for later.

Apparently they are only in Tejas (only exception being one in Alabama) so that leaves 48 states without a Buc-ee's

I've been in texas for 24 years. I've never been in one and, I think, only saw one for the first time a few months ago as I drove past.

Enormous gas station/truck stop that sells tons and tons of food and other stuff.

There was a reality show about a guy who ran one of those mega-truck-stop places. Hotel, huge restaurant, store, I think they even had a small amusement park and live music.

The Buc-ee's on IH10 in Katy has 120 gas pump stations... and every pump station offers the 3 grades of unleaded, diesel and 1 of 2 grades of ethanol free gas (premium or super premium).

All the food ( a huge variety) is prepared on site when ordered... any thing from BLT's, burgers to BBQ... not exactly a vegan / healthfood type place however.

They are not truck stops. They even have a sign saying "NO TRUCKS" however buses are welcome. Many years ago, a buddy and I would drag his boat down to Freeport, Texas to go fishing off shore. The original Buckey's was just north of there. It was a gas station/bait shop/continence store. Nothing special. Somehow it took off since then.

What is a continence store?
An incontinence store would sell all sorts of sanitary items , but does a continence store sell everything except those items?

I had no idea. I drove past that one about 4-6 times back in November. If I'd known, I'd have been getting gas there!

I only lived in TX for a year but never saw one.

The first one I encountered was in Luling. There was also one on I-45 Madisonville. Now there are 2 on US-290, one on Telephone road and the ginormous one in Katy.

One of my buddies runs "Jet" in Germany. I met him when he was on assignment here in Houston. Anytime he is here with others, he takes them to Bucees.

Oh and to sell ethanol free gas, you have to be outside certain counties which have EPA non-attainment status.

I find it incredible the number of vehicles in Texas with a Buc-ees sticker on the back. Easily seems as popular as the Local Sports Team. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice travel station and I dig the jerky, but I feel precisely zero need to identify with the brand. Same goes for Yeti stuff.
