If you've never been to a Buc-ee's, think of it as a giant travel center combined with a provision store, southern restaurant, toy store and more. It's essentially a theme park on the highway.
Where are you getting end of next year for opening? Last I checked they haven't even started the rezoning process on the site and that will likely take 4 months to get approval. Even then construction takes at least a year from ground breaking to opening and that doesn't include construction delays. I would be shocked if it opens before Jan/Feb of 2025.
Absolutely hate Buc’ees. You must have been at the one near me, in Richmond, Kentucky. I call it Cluster *uc’ees. That’s far more appropriate. Also, they raise their gas prices between 3-4pm and then drop them after 8. So fewer savings during rush hour.
