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.

We’re getting one literally 2 miles from my house. Absolutely retarded. 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!

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.

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!
Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!

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].

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.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

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

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.

Sounds to me like Buc-ee's didn't want to shell out the coin to cover the improvements necessary. Prolly expected TNDOT and the City to cover all that for the "benefits" a Buc-ee's would bring.
Just like a Walmarks brings all them part time, low wage jobs and tax dollars to the community so the City should pay for the traffic controls and left turn lanes an scheidt. Then they do away with the jobs and put in them dang self checkout lanes. TDOT will SOON have to make i-24 three lanes from the state line all the way to Nashville. The interstate traffic is a daily 25mph crawl Last time I drive that route it was 25mph crawl becaise if all the fuggin potholes on the freeway.
Camp is where you make it.

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
