The only reason I stop at Buc-ees when I'm driving past is because they actually clean the bathrooms. Worst part of many road trips is stopping at normal gas stations where the bathroom hasn't been touched by a cleaning product in a very long time.

Exactly.
It's always an unknown factor at other places. Some of them you feel like you are taking your life in your own hands.
But Buc-ees is always a guaranteed a clean experience.

Their entire business model is build around a Clean Bathroom, literally everything else is just there because you wanted to not have to worry about sanitation
How's their stall door sitiation
They have German-style stall doors where even your feet are not visible from outside

Arch Aplin, the owner of Buc-ee's, is a huge Republican donor who backs Trump-aligned candidates in Texas. Buc-ee's lost me when they opened one in Bastrop on 71 and planted a billboard over Hruska's, trying to drive away their business, but I would never go there regardless.
So villainous Dolly Parton is opening a series of alternative chains
Perusing the comments here makes me glad to be loyal to no corporation. I really have Nestle to thank. Knowing how evil they are from a young age has proven one of the best barometers.
I hate Buc-ees but they do have clean bathrooms and they always have working EV chargers
Actually fuck Buc-ees or whatever that gross Republican beaver is.
And here on the East Coast we already have Wawa and Sheetz so let's not pretend Beaver Barn is special in literally any way.

Don't try to park overnight at Bucees, they'll kick you out and threaten to have you towed if you don't leave fast enough.
And notice how they have a bunch of fresh cooked food but no place to sit and eat? All they want is your money and then for you to gtfo quick.
no place to sit and eat
Jokes on them, I eat right inside the store.
This post just shows how many Americans are on here. Buc-ees is shit. What other country would turn a gas station into a tourist attraction. Its sort of like a church for giant gas-guzzling child-smashing cars. Oh and dont forget to take a shit while you are there, tell your friends!
In France there's some really nice gas stations on some of the popular highways. In the summer there's so many tourists going on vacation through these that some of them even set up temporary art exhibitions or special activities like bouldering, bow&arrows, etc. I remember doing my first "dive" in a special water cube on the parking lot of Montélimar's station when I was a kid, good times. Of course none of that is even remotely similar to putting a beaver themed slop-shop and calling it a day, the shops mostly just sell local products and the usual essentials.
France is doing it correctly, that sounds awesome. I wanna go to a gas station, get hopped up on some fumes and then start blasting arrows in every direction
French gas stations just make me think of 'The Vanishing'. Such a great film.
I would be so interested to see what a gas station bouldering popup looks like...

I mean Rudy's is all right. Best "bad" BBQ you'll ever eat. Started in gas station and is now a chain across Texas and a few other states. Original gas station is still there, only now it's just a restaurant. They make my favorite BBQ sause.

I've never been in one, but family brought home some of their "beaver nuggets" and I really couldn't believe how disgustingly delicious they were. Basically they are big crunchy sugary things that taste a lot like plain Capn' Crunch, but they go down by the handful way to easily.
A friend told me if you want to be really decadent you can eat them in a bowl with some milk like breakfast cereal.
They also brought me some of the fudge, but I was less impressed with that.
I had the beaver nuggets for the first time this past summer...I found that they got even better a few days later as they got just ever so slightly stale...it gave them this wonderful "al dente" texture!

The Cult of Buc-ees is only rivaled by the cult of personality of Kim Jong Un.
Like a Walmart, Cracker Barrel, and a truck stop had a 3-way and out popped this abomination. I went once, never again.
I used to pit stop at the original buccees for the nice bathrooms back in the day. Small place, nice bathrooms, a little kitsch.
Then they did the new ones. I am from here and they still completely astound me. The jerky is good though so I stop and get a supply about once a year. Then I am shocked when they scream about brisket.
One of two things in South Dakota

I never heard of Buccees before but YouTuber Joe Scott hyped it up. But he's Texan so of course he's proud.
