Seriously what's the big draw to it? We have Wal-Mart and Kroger if I want to go to a big store that sells gas. When I stop at a stop & rob I get my stuff and go. Besides 99.9% of the time I get my fuel at the Co-op.

If you folks don't want the sales tax dollars, we could use some in West TN.

I looked at their website, and I'm not sure I am grasping their concept...
a truck stop for cars? |

Having been to one, it’s a bit overwhelming.....everything from 10 different flavors of Icee’s, both Coke and Pepsi fountains, tailgating supplies, corn for deer feeders, clothing, decorator items, their own bakery, their own line of sausages and smoked meats made on site, made to order sandwiches and burritos ....etc.....well everything....The other thing is they are typically clean......you can easily waste an hour in one the first time you visit.....They are basically a destination unto themselves....
Consider that a typical Kroger is 40k SF....Bucee’s can run 65k+ SF....... |

With a place that large, why not have an area for Semis? It doesn't make sense to me.

When we head to the mountains I’ll be sure to stop.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Southernman077: With a place that large, why not have an area for Semis? It doesn't make sense to me. Cleanliness is a large part of their business model. Traditional truck stops get trashed too easily. Your wives will insist on stopping there just for the bathroom. |

The place billed as the "Largest Truck Stop" in the world, the Iowa 80 Truckstop has been spic and span every time I've been there. And they have a large number of gas pumps, along with the diesels as well. |

It is a super clean gas station chain that caters to everyone except 18wheelers. Bathrooms always clean, 25+ types of fresh jerky as well as pre-bagged stuff. BBQ is not great but not terrible. They have their own brand of yeti cooler. You can get BBQ pits and deer corg and shirts for the BOOG! It is a really cool place that Texans love and to top it all off they start pay at $14+ and hour for the register folks. Last few built around Houston are 75+ pumps that are always full. Huge economic impact for any area that gets one.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jonboy20: Sadly no.... I've got a family owned station near me, only two pumps, not always full. The bathroom is clean enough. I can fill up with gas, get fuel for my Coleman lantern, get basic groceries, guns, ammo, beer, a baloney sandwich or a hot meal. I can get my hunting license or check a deer in, and any profits I make go to a guy I grew up with. Bucees can't compete with that. |
