It’s a gas station chain in Texas called Buc-ee’s. Some Texans freak out about it in a huge way. I have lots of Buc-ee branded apparel as a result of my brother-in-laws passion, which he’s instilled in my niece who now insists on more shirts for her aunt and uncle.

I’m cool with it as they pay everyone well above minimum wage. If you want to fan out over a corporation, you could do much worse.

47 locations in 8 states. 34 of them are in Texas.

I think it's fair to describe it as primarily a Texas experience.
