Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The kibosh on our Buc ee’s NIMBY

Y'all be forgetting the most important thing for half the visitors. The cleanest bathrooms to be found at any gas station.

Stopped at the one in Sevierville, TN. They do have the nicest bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a truck stop, it’s quite the place. Fresh brisket & pulled pork too.

Couple years ago I had to go to TX for a week of training.

NW Houston - Waller.

Bucees was about 2 miles from Hotel.

Ate there 3 meals a day. Something different each time.

Woot woot!

Was in the Kodak/ seveieville bucees a month or so ago.

Biggest one*.

*for now. Each one gets bigger and bigger.


Bunch of vacay Honies in there. 😍🥰

The one at the Sevierville 407 exit is 77,000 sq ft. 136 gas pumps The car wash mgr position is a $100k a year job. Store managers can make upwards of $300k. There are now 2 larger stores with 1 in Tx and being built in Ocala Fl. The Sevierville store will be their biggest money maker because of all the Tourons that come to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Dollywood. Getting off of I-40 or trying to get back on in the evening is a Pain in the ASS!

When they opened the store, one family drove 37 hours from Alberta Canada for the grand opening.

lol

Had one of the attendants mop the back of my shoeswhile I was standing at the urina in Cookeville Tn, dude was on it jack.😃

He musta seen you sprinkle…

😀😀

Buc-Ee’s isn’t a stop…it’s a destination!

My wife says she’s Christmas shopping there this year.

One just opened on I-65 west of Huntsville Alabama. I made my first and last visit inside the store there a couple of weeks ago- - - -noisy, crowded, and expensive- - - - -if I ever stop there again it will be a gas up and go trip- - - -not even a bathroom break! Their BBQ sandwiches suck- - - -drowned in some kind of sticky sauce that's at least 25% sugar!

I always liked stopping at Iowa 80 on my trips across the country. But I can't imagine something like that on a smaller route being anything but [bleep].

LOL. That Bleck boy wanted a tip.

But it’s a long walk all the way across the parking lot and through the store to get to those restrooms.

Love the place. Don't at all understand the "expensive" comments.....compared to what? Fuel and DEF is cheap, fountain drinks are cheap, coffee is cheap, deli sandwiches are great, BBQ is great (they sell thousands of them), breakfast sandwiches are great, deer corn is cheap, deer feeders are cheap, gun cases are cheap, Buc ees' are marketing geniuses.

Yee hah......

Shake it for the squirrels....

Nothing like a badass gas station on the Interstate to ruin the neighborhood...lol.

"Them folks from California that bought the 2000 acres next door are probably gonna be nice though.


I wonder when they'll come look at it?"

Imagine if you will it’s 11:30p you’re road weary and low on fuel almost half way between MI and FL or almost to Dollywood when you see a billboard for Buc-ee’s at the next exit.

You exit and find yourself stretching your legs in a gas station that sells everything from hunting gear to truck stop food that’s a notch or two above fast food if any are still open and with clean bathrooms to boot. It’s a legit sales pitch and better than Speedway.

It’s modern day Americana. The same people that don’t like Bucees probably don’t like Boebert either.

Last time I drive that route it was 25mph crawl becaise if all the fuggin potholes on the freeway.

Oh but Bucees will shell out the coin, you should see how long and what it took to get the one coming in Boerne TX.

The ole beaver has some good alternatives plans for the folk that fight them. They have smaller versions with different names too.

They sell the same products listed below with different labels

These will keep the weary-eyed traveler going all the way to PCB baby!!
And what a bargain I will add!! 🤙😃
