We need a Sheetz. Best Convenient store by far, IMHO.

I've experienced both since my birth family is from "Sheetz country", but I moved to "WaWa country" 30+ years ago. Apparently by mutual agreement, they definitely have set boundaries whereby they don't overlap. I was told that by a store manager several years ago. Maybe that has changed however, since they have expanded so much in recent years.

What do you like about Sheetz? When I go back home, I miss WaWa because I like most of what they make better, but maybe I'm missing something, so please, do tell. :wave:

In Texas, they're pretty proud of their Buc-ee's chain of service stations/convenience stores.

I can see why. Have never been to one but have seen pictures of one of these places - one like yours and also an inside shot. They look pretty impressive.

Just had to add - love that red truck in the pic. Darn, they do everything extra large down there, don't they?

Buc-ee's is expanding into Florida. Their plans call for initial locations in Daytona Beach, St. Augustine, and Fort Myers. Since the article mentioned below was written, I found out that the St. Augustine location will be their first because of some environmental concerns that have to be addressed with the Daytona Beach location: Texas-sized Buc-ee's to put 1st Florida gas station in Daytona - News - Daytona Beach News-Journal Online - Daytona Beach, FL

Sell the gas for 25 cents a gallon?


That's when a service station had service.


.

Yeah but you definitely did not want to go into the station to get something to eat !
