The fellow that started Buc-ees is from Louisiana. So the story goes, his first store was in Tx, where he grew up. Across the street from his store was another station that sold gas and sold it for $0.10 per gallon cheaper, but the Buc-ee's store had people lined up to buy gas, while this fellow struggled.
The struggling fellow came over one day and asked the owner of Buc-ee's what he was doing to be able to sell gas at a higher price. The answer was, "How clean are your restrooms".
Dont know if the story is true or not.
He was born in TX. This tells the story.
