Excellent food at competitive prices. Best bbq brisket sandwiches. Awesome baked goods. Very very clean restrooms.

The friendliest employees you will ever see. Huge selections of products.

Over 100 gasoline pumps.

Can go on and on but think you should get the point.

That is why I said short term. Novelty of this HUGE gas station will hurt the surrounding similar businesses for months. Hard to compete with these mega gas stations.

Why should anyone pay more for gas than they have to? It's a commodity product. If you like paying more please do. No one stopping you.

Buccee’s is the only station I will stop at 3am alone, and feel safe, in their parking lot. Won’t hurt Loves, or Pilot’s business, small station rarely open 24/7

I absolutely love Buc’ees. I regularly visit two of them in Texas located in New Braunfels and in Madisonville. Super large locations with spotless restrooms and pretty decent food items. Always a great selection of specialty jerky and some other not so common food items. Prices are fair. While I always like to support Mom and Pop retailers, there is a lot to be said for convenience and great customer service albeit from a large corporate chain.
