can you buy ammo?

 

But the biggest isn't in Texas. Lol.
Not the gas for sure. "You can hold it." "You have to pee to believe." I know people go there for... ice. Lol

 

I am surrounded by these mega gas stations 20 minutes in every direction I go. I am also trying to understand the attraction besides the store's size. The gas is not cheap, the sandwiches are neither cheap nor tasty, and the store is full of its logo memorabilia trinkets. My wife says it is capitalizing on the herd mentality and the logo. I do admit the stores are clean and well staffed. The rest restrooms are definitely very clean and maintained by a full-time attendant; deserves 5 stars.

 

Sold!

"You had me at Jerky Bar"... lol

Now ur talking. haha
That would be sweeeeet.

Tasteless!


Keep talking, don't stop now.
Your on your way to being a fan, looking at your ratings. lol

 

interesting that they don't allow 18 wheelers or even just the front end cabs!

 

well aren't you a little ray of sunshine.

i don't know (and don't care) about their gas prices... clearly people don't go there JUST for gas.

i guess others have a more positive view.

 

i was thinking about electric charging, and it seems buc-ee's might be well positioned for that, as people could charge and have a clean spacious place to relieve themselves, eat, shop, etc.

 

i also just read on their site they've been around since 1982 (over 40 years, wow).

 

Oh man, Buc-ees is a life changing experience lol

I was in Alabama last February for my cousin's funeral, and my other two cousins and I drove about 40 miles to check out a Buc-ees and it was epic. The scale of it is diffcult to comprehend, and there are bigger ones...incredible food, the bathrooms are like private little self contained rooms and so clean, and everything is absurdly cheap.




I was going on about how cheap the ice was and actually ran into the parking curb lol













And you can buy ANYTHING you can imagine with the Buc-ee the beaver on it












Plus lots of stuff that isn't branded...you can buy guns, ammo, country store stuff, furniture, clothes, camping equipment...electronics...







We bought many things:

 

Thanks for the pics. Gonna have to try this place out.

 

If you are travelling and you happen upon one, you have to go lol

We laugh about it to this day...

 

So there's a reason why the gas is not cheaper than around town. Theres actually a law that you can't sell gasoline at a loss, and its because of Buc-ees. They used to sell gas at a loss as a loss leader to get people into their store, and competitors caused such an uproar it led to the passage of that law, so the gas at Buc-ees is sold at cost, so its the cheapest gas you can possibly buy...they still get accused of violating it by competitors today...

traffic is already bad on site, imagine with 18 wheelers clogging it even more. They dont want lot lizards around either. Plenty of other places for 18 wheelers to stop

 

Duh, I didn't think of that.

Not exactly promoting a family environment with that element(see bolded above) walking around. haha
Besides, they have truck stops for truckers so they're already all set anyway so they have no reason for the boo-hoo-ing. lol

PS- I watched your video, enjoyed it. .

 

Steve,
Last time when you said it was like a kid in a candy store, I didn't really expect to be this exact! Lol. That one in Alabama is one crazy one. I think the biggest one is coming back to TX.
Yeah people go there for different reasons, not for gas. Now that they have super charger so they will even draw more crowd.
