I like Buc-ee's. They're building the biggest one ever not far from our northern house (if you consider deep-south Tennessee as "north") in the Pigeon Forge area. It is like the cleanest AM/PM, Sheetz, WaWa, whatever you have ever been in, with bathroom stalls that are actual rooms, not stalls, and about 20x the size the stores you are used to, with a Cracker Barrel style shopping experience, but 20x bigger than Cracker Barrel. They have dozens, if not hundreds of gas pumps, with multiple pumps dedicated to DEF, 100% gas, diesel, etc.

While the Beaver Nuggets are a bit too sweet for me, the jerky and variety are second to none.

I am not one, but there are obsessed fans that rival Disney-aholics. They have FB groups, they go to store openings, they travel the country to get to all the locations, they have online "shoppers" like Barb Escobar who will shop and ship to aficionados not near a Buc-ee's. They are a bit of a destination experience.

Some, however, are not at all impressed- just like there are some that inexplicably hear about Costco and think, "meh."
