- It's a Texas institution with a national footprint: a chain of road stop convenience stores the size of the Lone Star State, with a smiling cartoon beaver mascot and a devoted following. Correspondent Luke Burbank travels to Buc-ee's to find out why customers are so driven to visit. (Is it the award-winning bathrooms?)

Wow, a successful businessman who pays his employees well and is dedicated to providing quality products and service. Best wishes for his continued success.
I guess for a gas station it pays ok but let's be honest, in this Joe Biden Of a country 15 -17 dollars an hour isn't going to get u far
@@SC68170 Quit your bawling, I just paid $1.99 lb for name brand center cut pork chops, $2.19 for ground chuck, $1.49 pork steaks, and I'm paying a dollar less for gas than 14 years ago
@@tomdalton4293 14 years ago gas prices were cheaper buddy

@@fazebot2405 You obviously weren’t driving 14 years ago cuz it was more expensive
Sounds like Buc-ee’s has figured it out- run your own company with an emphasis on customer service and treat your employees well. Wish them much success! Can’t wait to go to one myself.
Buc-ee's is a wonderful place. You will love it and all of the food is so good!
You won't be disappointed!
what a radical concept!
Oops! That was supposed to read, you hear that Walmart?
@@danboren6567 have you tried the hotdogs
I've been to numerous Buc-cees and the experience is like nothing else. The employees are incredibly friendly and welcoming, the entire store is spotless, the public rest rooms are terrific and the barbecue brisket sandwiches are to die for. Once you've been to a Buc-cees, it's close to impossible to see one and not stop there. Buc-cees is destined for world domination of the gas station industry.
Never underestimate the power of cleanliness. Especially when it comes to restrooms, customers will go out of their way for a place that is comfortable and clean. That goes double for a world coming out of a pandemic. (And, yes, if you're a CEO who wants clean restrooms, you'll need to pay your employees enough to do a good job cleaning them.)
I took the time to thank the gentleman cleaning the bathroom at the Florence SC store yesterday. It makes a difference, a difference that I appreciate.
Yep a good rule of thumb is to NEVER eat at a restaurant with dirty bathrooms. If the bathroom is dirty you can guarantee their kitchen is filthy as well.
PLANdemic...
Stopping at a Buc-ee's on the highway is always a fun experience. The restrooms are always spotlessly clean. They have an incredible selection of food, snacks, and beverages. The employees are always friendly. This is a business model others should follow.
My Buc-ees in Calhoun, Ga has 128 fuel pumps!
I’ve been a few times where the last person “forgets” to flush… sad truth is, these people don’t even care. Their home bathroom probably looks like a mudpit.
The Florida locations are clean, well lit, well run.
Yah right I stepped into one and it smelled like New Orleans in the french quarter!
@@raspberrysherbet5285 yep!!!
We love Buc-ee’s and we know we can always count on clean bathrooms, tasty food and unique finds in their stores. We’ll wait and drive 50-75 miles to go there vs. places along the way.
Yeah I enjoyed stopping at Buc-ee's
It’s the best place ever
I would give my life to buy one donut from Buc-Ee’s
Same here! Love this place!
I drive from California. 😁😁😁😁😁
It really hit me when he talked about not having to answer to shareholders and investors about cutting costs. It's so true. Many once amazing brands have had their value propositions diluted by overlord bean counters, and it's almost always hurt the bottom line. From Ritz Carlton to Staples to Kraft Heinz, there are just so many examples of this -- but very few business leaders in the publicly-held sector who seem willing to learn from it.
They know exactly what they are doing, maximizing profits to keep shareholders happy, so they get a nice fat bonus, stock options, etc. "As Chief Executive Officer at Kraft Heinz Co, Miguel Patricio made $43,297,480 in total compensation. Of this total $500,000 was received as a salary, $1,360,807 was received as a bonus, $0 was received in stock options, $40,746,195 was awarded as stock and $690,478 came from other types of compensation.

Well of course the original business creator gets paid handsomely when the IPO drops thats the goal here not to pander to a bunch of poor people
I wish them nothing but success. They treat their employees well.
Customers who use the showers may not be treated as kindly. Smile, you're on hidden camera.
It's really nice to see a privately owned business still spending money and investing in quality service in service and food for its customers and for its employees. We live in a nation where everything is being cut back, made cheaper, giving people less for more money. This business is built on the ethics that built this country and gave us a first world quality economy.
Give me a break. These people are just big bullies. They are the Amazon of gas stations. They come in and get incentives and anything they want. They have highway locations but they take all the local customers too by undercutting on gas prices. Nobody can compete with them.
But companies are too greedy now even when they barely pay taxes to want to invest back on employees
@@DannyWalker247 Bucc-ees has 40 stations. The other oil majors have several thousand each. Who is the Amazon here?
@@elroyface404 obviously Danny doesn't live in Texas nor has had a chance to visit one of these. He might change his opinion.
@@DannyWalker247 Oh please. These guys don't even have 100 locations. You're living in la la land if you think they're the Amazon of gas stations.
There’s no “labor shortage”, for working at a gas station, you’re paid competitive wages and not to mention full benefits like healthcare and retirement? Treat your employees well, give them a work life balance and maybe your staff retention will stay high. Congrats to the owners, wishing them much success on going national, can’t wait to stop by.
There is when you stay at a job where shoplifting and violence merge in one area
@@darthtyranus7683 shut up lol
@@cloudbullets you shut up lol
Yes! literally every time I read an article about some CEO complaining the supposed labor shortage in this country, I look up their yearly salary and it's always 1000x higher than the lowest employee. Of course no one wants to work for you greedy fools. They cut employee wages & give themselves raises so they can fund their next yacht or mansion. It's ridiculous
This is something other companies need to take notes on. (im looking at you Amazon)
Living here in Texas, I’ve watched this franchise grow from those early days to today. It took one stop at a store and I was hooked . Whether you need gas or just a restroom break , you can’t help but stop there just for the food and snacks for that road trip. With all that “square footage”, there’s more in that store than food and snacks !!! The owners are the “poster child” for what these highway road stops should be like. It’s a win-win for “Buc-ees”, hands down!!!!!
I don't understand why it's never located in any cities like Dallas, Frisco or Ft Worth. I have never been to one because they're all over an hour drive out on the highway
We went to one in Georgia. A nice experience!
@@largol33t1 Houston has the little ones all over the town, but for the travel centers its about catching travel traffic. Also have the small ones I've seen around Lake Jackson and some of the smaller near by towns as well. I don't see many other "truck stops" in downtown Dallas for Ft. Worth either. Take a trip north out on 75..,East on 20.... South or north on 35 and you will see one. When I travel out East I usually stop at the one in Terrell along the way. About an hour or so from the house. Used to live right by that one. I go filled up there and headed toward San Antonio down 35 I'd see another one about the time I needed gas and a "pit stop". Worth it for a trip, but I'd not really go out of my way much. They are nice. Maybe they will open the "smaller ones" in town. They don't have the home goods, camping type stuff, or BBQ cooking stuff. Just snacks, drinks, and small kitchen as well as a regular number of pumps and clean bathrooms.
Buc-ee's is NOT a franchise. This is one of the key things that sets it apart from other gas- stations.
@@Danman1972 My favorite one b/w Houston and Austin is the one in Waller. Always make sure to stop there for a brisket sandwich/jerky/tehuacan sparkling water. Yes I know the water is random, but very few places carry it, and I honestly think its better than Topo Chico.
I kinda wish he wouldn't expand outside Texas; kinda like it being something special about us, like Whataburger (which unfortunately is also not unique to us anymore).
This needs to be a 60 minutes episode.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Think Jesus would enjoy Buc-ee's.
@@keithfreitas2983 I've never met a Jew who didn't like a nice brisket. The fact the owners care most about their employees and customers probably would also make Christ smile.
I applaud this company for treating their employees so well. Other companies should watch this and take note. If you pay a living wage and treat your employees with the utmost respect, you will be more successful. I would weigh a ton if I worked there though. My lunch break would last forever!
You think they're treated well how cute
The only thing good is the pay
I've heard horror stories from workers from buckees - like they won't even let their employees sit down or take breaks. The pay is alright but there's a cult of move move move that can be toxic for the workplace
@International Failure I’m going to apply to the new one they are building 2 towns over.
@@ThePofolks it’s a great place to work according to 60 Minutes. You need to do some research.
It is so beautiful to see that a company has proven that paying a living wage to employees won't hurt profits at all... if you CEO and all the top execs don't need to make millions upon millions. And to do the whole thing with quality and even style. Bravo Buccees!!!
Is $15 really a living wage though? What are CEOs making: 3000x that?
Yes 🙌🏾 What a “radical” and progressive way to run a corporation!!! More companies in America should do this .
@@jeffpetrie7744 #1, $15/hr is the starting wage. If you've ever been to a Buc-ees you would have seen the ranges in pay. #2, The CEO of Buc-ees has created thousands of jobs, that isn't worth magnitudes more than entry level pay?
@@jeffpetrie7744 we just got a $2 raise. I make $21 an hour in FL for this entry level job.
There is actually a consensus in the science of economy that rising minimum wage wont hurt profits. Prof. David Card showed this.
We moved from Texas to east Tennessee and we are ecstatic that Buc-ee's is now in our backyard. Everyone we've talked to that has been to one of the new ones here in TN has fallen in love and people are driving SPECIFICALLY to visit Buc-ee's. I hope they continue to expand and grow and have continued success.
Imagine every entrepreneur conducted his business this way. I’m hundreds of miles away from Texas, but visiting Buc-ee’s is now on my list 🙏🏽
it's amazing
It truly is amazing! and you may not have to wait long because like they said at the end of the video they are expanding beyond the borders on the lone star state.
The best public bathrooms in the country!
LUV Bucees!!! Great to see them get national exposure!
Living here in Central Texas, Buc-ee's has become part of our family experience whenever we hit the roads in Texas. if there was a Buc-ee's on the way back from a Scout camping trip we'd always stop for the kids to get Icees and candies and I'd always get those hot candied pecans and a fresh cup of coffee ☕ And about once a week or so my buddy from work will stop at the one in New Braunfels on his way into work to pick us both up a Hippo Breakfast Taco : ) God Bless Buc-ee's!!!!!!
What is a hippo breakfast taco?
What is in it is what I'm asking.
My only gripe concerns the customers who park at a gas pump and disappear into the store for an hour or two. Road trips mean being on the road, not waiting for a dozen people to load up with food and souveniers. Buy your gas which only takes a couple of minutes, move your vehicle, and then go inside.
On any Texas road trip, you gotta stop at Bucees. It's an experience. Sooo many clean bathrooms and snacks, great brisket sandwiches.
Moved to Texas last year. Was introduced during a trip to Mississippi. I absolutely love Buccees!!
I bet you you like Texas more than Mississippi because Mississippi sucks
If only the owners were not big financial backers of some of Texas' worst political office holders.
@@jessieluck2416 Mississippi Coast is the best! That’s why it’s so great because you’re never there!😂
@@boogitybear2283 it bothers me when people talk smack about other places.
I'm sure that Mississippi is a great state and a great place to live.
Tasty foods
Something positive, something optimistic, something unapologetically successful--man, do we need more of that!
If you're traveling through Central Georgia, a new Buc-ee's just opened in Ft. Valley, Ga, (just south of Macon) Truly everything this video portrayed, and more. Best fuel prices of anywhere within 100 miles.
I-75, exit 144
Also one in North Georgia - Calhoun area
My home store in Warner Robins!
Gotta try that
Just opened store #50 in Crossville TN not 2 weeks ago (27 June), first one in TN. Their biggest store yet is supposed to open in Sevierville in 2023. The first Buc-ees I visited was the one in Warner Robins GA.
This Texas gem has come to Florida and we LOVE it!!!
I live just one exit south of the St. Augustine location. It's the most awesome place on Earth! Disney sucks in comparison.
One just opened in Kentucky this past week. Can't wait to go check it out!
This episode was filmed at the Buckys that’s just 10 miles from my house. I stopped there whenever I can for coffee it’s the best. A few weeks before it was due to open hurricane Harvey hit. They were not open for business yet but they opened up and fed for free all the first responders. Fireman policeman electrical workers you name it, it gave them a place to rest and get something to eat. I don’t even think the staff knew what to do but they were there for our community when we needed them. It’s so nice to see that Buc ee’s is expanding out to other states, I have a friend visiting from Tennessee and she said oh my gosh if we could only get a Buc-ee’s at home this place is the best… I hope they get one.
Buc-ee's coming to Sevierville, TN soon, biggest one in the good ole USA.
There's one coming to Crossville, TN too ! Off I -40 about an hour and a half from Nashville, I can't wait as I have not been in one .
I can’t tell if this is my Bucees too. I’m in league city and there’s one just a
Few miles from me .
@@Mssipequeen You won't be disappointed!!!
When it comes to community support and loyalty, it's hard to beat Buc-ee's and H-E-B.
I live in California and went to my first Buc-ee's in Daytona Beach last November. Was visiting a friend in that area and he said "You have to see this place". First off it had like a hundred gas pumps - huge! Inside it was as big as a large supermarket with everything from souvenirs to clothes to BBQ to baked stuff. Plus the bathrooms put all those airport bathrooms to shame I had used on the trip back there. Wish we had them in CA.
I too wish we had buc-ees in Ca as well, but for some reason, I think the experience would be ruined here with all the entitled, whiny people here. I can already see an "activist" complaining about the exploitation of beavers.
🦫...🤔
What's the big deal is what I thought before I went to one. It refreshing to see people care about customers and it's incredibly clean. Every thing is clean and orderly. I felt good after I visited and been back several times. It's all about the customer experience. Good business that deserves all the success in the world.
Love this place! Truly one of Texas’s shining gems and the best candied nuts you’ll ever buy! When I visit the one in Denton I buy at least 5 every time
Maybe after this y’all will stop bothering cbs about how liberal they are. This shows the appreciate things about red states too
Thanks for the tip
I’ve never been to the one in Denton, but I have driven past it. I’ve been to the one in Madisonville, the one near Waco, and the one off Hwy 80. Their candied nuts are the best!
Fk Red States. They should be carpet bombed out of existence.
I was so glad they put one in Denton. I go there from Lewisville for the BBQ sandwiches & non-ethanol gas & sometimes a goofy t-shirt.
I was on a cross country trip visiting my oldest son & family down in Florida. ( I live in Oregon) I had my first experience at Buc-ee's just East of Dallas.(Terrell) I was blown away! I would definitely look for it on the road. It was the largest, and the best travel stop I have been to hands down!
If you are traveling I-95 there are Buc-ee's in St Augustine and Daytona Beach and maybe other locations by now.
@@howardkerr8174 I was going to say the same thing that there two Buc-ee's in Florida
You were in my neck of the woods. Terrell is about 25-30 minutes from me down 20. I am in Canton, where we boast another "large", First Monday Trade Days ("world's largest flea market"). I'm glad you enjoyed your visit with us!!
Ahh Terrell is right next to where I live!
If you miss Buc-ees you shouldn't be driving. (joking)
They opened the first one outside of Texas near me (Loxley, Alabama).
I’ve gone in on weekdays at midnight and there’s people in there happily buying all sorts of goodies. I obviously don’t know the financials, but based on number of customers I’d say the location has been a great success.
We've been by there a few times and were amazed at the number of vehicles there everytime. Wondered what they are giving away in there..lol.
I love going to Buc-ee's when I visit Texas.....they are clean, inviting and they pay so well that employees enjoy coming to work and being happy.
For Thanksgiving 2020, I flew into Houston then drove to western Louisiana to stay with family. During one conversation, my cousin mentioned Bucees and how clean their bathrooms were. I made it a point to check them out on my way back to Houston. I was NOT disappointed. Ever since, if I fly into Texas, I make it a point to stop at a Bucees. Love it!!! 😍
me too
Great guy, very caring for everyone. I wish all business owners were like this guys. Not greedy and selfishness. Wish Bucees come to my state Minnesota
Hey, Kwik Trip is good up there! Clean bathrooms, decent food, reasonably priced stuff and helpful and happy (mostly) workers! 👍🏼😎✌🏼
We don't need it..Can't get better than Kwik trip!
Try going to a QwikTrip in the hood. It’s just a half step up from any Circle K or 711. Lol
We have two here in the state of georgia, and I can tell you, they are the most awesome place to stop when traveling, bar none. Absolutely love everything about bucees.
Buc-Cees is amazing. First time I walked in one my jaw dropped.
I was worried you wouldn't mention the fresh chopped brisket sandwices
Everytime you pass by you have to pick up the chopped brisket sandwich and BBQ sauce and a cup of fruit and large water for about $10 or so
Love bucees New Braunfels
I think New Braunfels is the best one. Just my opinion.
Thank GOD for employers like you! Too bad there is so much corporate greed in this country! We are glad we have YOU in this world!! I love going to Buc-ee's!!
Buc-ee's is a good example how a business should be run and it is a shame that so many other business don't have a clue how to run pay business. If this is the new generation how the corporate businesses are being run with this new generation of college students oh, we are headed downhill like a snowball. When Becky's is 20 to 30 cents cheaper on their fuel that tells you something about the other fuel stops. Greed is taking over.
@@leswalker2639 They can afford to sell fuel at just above cost to get people into the parking lot because their real money is being made inside.
There's a few companies like this, Costco, HEB, Chick-fil-A, Whataburger and a few others. Surprisingly alot of these high paying customer sevice corporations are in Texas. Which is odd because the states minimum wage is $7.75 an hour.
@@rogersmith7808 sorry for thinking that bad word. I was making $6.50 an hour in the mid-70s. Had plenty money gas was about 0.45 a gal. When yes went to 55 cents a gal. we thought it was outrageous. Surprise surprise 2022 almost $5 a gallon. Wages are the same almost. That's a disgrace. I think McDonald's employees make more than that. Some people think $20 an hour is way too much. We shouldn't even have to have a minimum wage the employer should $15 an hour at least to make tacos R burgers. But I'm sure that taco would cost 6 bucks easy. Rent was 300 for Apartments back then. Pretty soon the loaf of bread will cost $40 milk $70 all because the green deal. Which is not necessary. But they have to do something to bring the Constitution and this country down to its knees before they make everybody get the chip. I know many people are not going to get the chip, it is again the Constitution and choice.
@@leswalker2639 If you were making $6.40/hour in the 1970s you were making damn good money since the minimum wage then was less than half that. The current minimum wage hasn't changed since 2009 because rich people and corporations control the political system in this country and they don't want the minimum wage raised so now we're operating on a system where the wages that companies pay depend on the size of the labor force and how competitive they have to be to hire and keep employees. I personally don't mind paying 20 cents more for a Big Mac if that means McDonalds can pay their employees enough to live on.
We visited the one in Daytona beach. Definitely a unique experience. I live in Germany and had ten days holiday in Orlando. After seeing a CZcams video, it was on our list to go. We were definitely not disappointed. Fantastic concept, lovely staff. Can’t wait to go back to America and maybe road trip other locations. The brisket was amazing. Forgot to use the bathroom we were so overwhelmed 😂
As a Texan who lives in Colorado I'm so glad they're building here! Hopefully more to come!
where in Colorado are they building one?
@@PolPotsPieHole I have the same question. Usually I'm keen on new locations being planned, but haven't heard about any in Colorado.
Visited my bff in San Antonio. She took me to BUCKEES. Omg. Everything was awesome. The coffee the salted caramel cashew. The brisket. Oh my. Way to many things to say good. I wish one would come to Boston, but I don’t see that happening. Can’t wait to go back in October
I personally was not impressed with their Brisket and barbecue sauce. Maybe im just one of the few but I've had much better barbecue 🤷♂️
@@SC68170 well, being in Texas, you HAD to have had better barbecue, BUT!
What is your overall take on the place?
This was great. I hope he goes national quickly.
Buc-ee's is America. America is Buc-ee's. Thank God for Bucks-ee's. Thank God in Heaven.
I stopped at a Buc-ees in Texas a few years back. Clean as a hospital, perfect everything, food, service, etc... the model for a travel stop.
We have at least 2 Buck-ees being built here in TN as I type, between Nashville and Pigeon Forge/Sevierville on I-40. I can’t wait to check them out when they’re open.
I am from Texas and typically avoid Bucees just because the length of time needed to complete stopping there. Knowing that my purchase goes to the employees through a livable wage has changed my mind. I will donate a little more time knowing my money is being put to good use. Im not wearing any of their clothes though :)
Being in less of a hurry might benefit you as well :)
I live in Arkansas and everytime I wear my Buc-ees t-shirt people notice and usually say "I LOVE Buc-ees'!!! I love my Buc-ees t-shirt.
I go all the time and I am in and out really fast. Unless I am not in a hurry and love walking around looking at things. There are 3 entrances and many checkout people to help. They have great salads, sandwiches and puddings. All fresh!!
If you’ve never been to a Buccees, it’s an experience. Food, gas, clean restrooms and underpriced drinks…. I love Buccees.
Hope they bring one to Utah soon!!
Hope so as well.
My family LOVES Buc-cees. We're from Minneapolis and my family is from Dallas so once or twice a year we fly or drive down. We never miss hitting Buc-cees on the way in AND way out. Even have t-shirts, toothbrush, dog toys.
When I saw the sign outside the store with the employee wages on it I thought this company is doing it right. Didn't know it was just the 2 of them running the ship! Keep it moving, y'all!
I just saw this come up on CZcams. I love Buc-ee’s! Been to a few in Texas and in FL and GA. Love!! I also have clothing and mugs etc with Buc-ee’s logo! Great food. Reasonable gas prices and no tractor trailers allowed in their locations.
Tractor trailer drivers deserve to have this experience, too. They work hard.
Emphasis on No Tractor Trailers. Lol, oh boy the stereotypes never change. We're all just dirty, stinky, lazy, no good degenerates of society. It never changes. ..
Someone needs to make one for truckers named… TRUC-EES
That is the reason I don't do Buc ees..no big trucks allowed!
@@williamtaylor8221 Good! Truckers attract Lot Lizards. They’re two peas in a pod. When the truck is a-rockin’ don’t come a knockin. Plus many truckers are BIG BOYS. Like a herd of wildebeest you can hear and smell them when they come through the door for their nightly feeding habits of Mountain Dew, Beef Jerky, Marlboro and Insulin.
LOVE Buc-ee’s!!!! I derive round trip from California to Florida and intentionally stopped at their locations in Texas, Alabama and Florida. They all look just like this video, clean and organized with friendly folks and good food. This is the type of business that helped build America. Too bad the same model is so hard to find these days.
I've been to the Buc-ee's in Richmond, KY twice now whenever I head south on a road trip. Always worth the stop!
You cant go on a road trip in Texas without stopping at Buc-ees.
When we head west out of Katy Texas we always stop and fill up the truck and our bellies and marvel at the worlds longest car wash.
It's a true Texas Icon!
Morning.
I'd Katy in east Texas?
I worked at a logistics center for an Asian grocery store and they had a store in Katy, Texas.
The store is named Hmart.
Bucees is one of my favorite places. The art and candles are wonderful
So glad we have 2 in Georgia now !!!! Such a fun experience!!!! And the bathrooms are so clean!!!
There are three -- one in Warner Robins, one in Calhoun and one in Adairsville.
heard rumors they may put one in Newnan.

Born and raised in Texas and damn proud of it. Love going to Buc-ee’s every time I travel ‘cross state.
Buc-ee's is amazing. We've been to the locations in FL - their food portion sizes are ridiculously large!
This was fantastic! I hope to visit one day just because of the way they treat their employees. Looks like fun, too.
Went there for the first time last year while visiting family in Texas. It is insane! You will love it. Can’t wait to go back!
They’re super awesome! I highly suggest the raspberry yogurt pretzels they have.
It’s always my favorite part of trips to Texas. You’ll be shocked at the amount of stuff is truly in the store!
@@havanahhughes8342 I seriously want to go on a road trip just to go there. They just seem to do it right!
The FL locations are ✔. No car washes. 🚫 I like the ground coffee ☕.
Same reason I like going to Chick-Fil-A and In an Out. Foods always consistent, it's clean and they pay their employees above average for the industry.
I think I'm going to treat myself to a 4x4 today.
Thanks to you.
I love this place, I lived in Texas for a time and it was a must stop for our family!!!
wow 2 guys own those. Thats the way it should be. Tired of corporate POS CEO running things
Yeah amazing what can happen without shareholders
The perfect "Sunday Morning" story! I got emotional watching that brisket come out. Lol
We were on a road trip to Texas in 2019 when we discovered Buc-ee’s. What a hoot. On a Florida road trip in 2021, Buc-ee’s was a planned part of the itinerary.
Our excitement exploded when Buc-ee’s announced they had acquired land to open a location near the intersection of I-40 and I-85 in Orange County NC…about 10 miles from my house.
Problems arose with the county commissioners of Orange County. It’s said that communism has been debunked pretty much worldwide except for Cuba, North Korea, China, Russia and Orange County NC. The zoning that was required to allow construction to begin was not allowed. The pol’s infinite wisdom cited noise, and the fact that fossil fuels were dying as a means to power transportation. (Not kidding…they actually said that). The Buc-ee’s folks tried everything to work with the commissioners, but their efforts were to no avail.
The end came, and as the Buc-ee’s people left town without a deal, they wrote an open letter to the community. The best line was they were glad Orange County already had too many $15 per hour entry level jobs that they didn’t need any more. What a bunch of pinheads…but they were answering to their constituents.
Hopefully there will be a friendlier spot for a Buc-ee’s somewhere in NC in the future.
I go to college in Richmond Kentucky and we have one down the road. I truly love the place and is a staple for everyone that goes there!
I stopped at a Buc-ee's just outside of the Texas Motor Speedway. Holy cow that place was HUGE!
One thing that wasn't mentioned - it's not a truck stop. No big trucks allowed in the parking lot or gas station.
Yep, they hate truckers.
@@Longhauler85 It's not that they hate truckers. It's just not a truck stop. It's not unusual for a business to not want 19-wheelers in their parking lots.
I want them EVERYWHERE. We travel full time. I would love to go to them in every state.
I’m from Long Island. I have family in Texas. When I’m there I go to buc-ees every single visit. It wouldn’t be Texas without a buc-ees pulled pork sandwich. And those bathrooms.
Would love to have a Buc-ees, in the southeast area of Virginia. A lot of people travel to Williamsburg, and the Virginia Beach, VA area.
Maybe after this y’all will stop bothering cbs about how liberal they are. This shows the appreciate things about red states too
@@againstthepods4316 Doing a story about Buc-ee's doesn't change their bias, unfortunately.
@@jeepthing98
What's their bias... Enlighten 7s since you never mentioned it.
Virginia is back red again, thank God
Daytona Beach FL has a 🦫 in the I 4 🛣 I 95 section of mid FL. Good location. A Sam's Club is near too.
This a real story of pure success ... Thank You CBS Sunday morning for sharing ....
Like many, I've heard people raving about Buc-ee's for years now. Today, on a trip home from Houston to eastern Kansas where I live, I finally took the time to stop and take in the experience, at Madisonville TX. All I can say is, wow, it's all true. And judging from the crowd of people at each one (I stopped at another in Melissa TX later in the day), a lot of people must think so also. It makes me want to go back to Texas just to visit again!
The two Buc-ee’s here in Florida are packed and great.
I really like the Beavers head on the sign always puts a smile on my face
We live in Texas and love our Bucees
I LOVE stopping at Buc-ee’s whenever I head to Dallas! Best place ever!
I grew up going to bucces on road trips with my family, I still go every time I pass by on my own now. It’s nostalgic for me and just awesome
I have a Buc-ee’s about 5 miles from my house, we go every weekend for gas and whatever we can find. The staff are always very friendly and customer service is #1! The product are unique and the food very tasty. My only issue is the Icee Machine, are always down bcz they can’t source the cups. Other than that, we always have a good time.
There’s a special beauty is seeing a compassionate business thrive! So nice to have a new Buc-ees in the area. Some of my coworkers in healthcare are thinking of leaving the greedy healthcare industry to work at Buc-ees!
Hands down the best convenience store chain in the country!! Clean restrooms, gas is always decently priced, food is amazing, and employees are happy with their jobs and it shows in their stellar attitudes towards customers. THIS is how you do it. Bucee's, HEB, and Whataburger........ Texas friendly thru and thru
Love the turkey sandwich!! So much to see in the stores. Always clean and service is top notch!!
Texas!!! We love our Buc-ee’s
As a kid who grew up in Freeport Texas in the early 80’s, we would stop at Buccees on the way to Surfside beach for gas, the cheapest ice, a 12 pack of silver bullets for my dad, snacks and soft drinks for us! I am so happy for the success of Buccees! I now reside in South Carolina where the first Buccees just opened in Florence. Can’t wait to visit! I’m a life long customer all the way back to their original two stores and I’m in awe of how much it’s grown!
Bu-cee’s certainly has become the go to place on road trips for a pit stop. It, along with H‑E‑B and Whataburger, show truly how great the Texan businesses can be. I hope it stays awesome forever.
Love Buc-cee's. We were driving to San Antonio and saw the billboard for it. My wife looked it up on her phone and after reading about it online said "we're stopping there." Best.Stop.Ever. Brisket sandwiches are great. Always have time to stop at one when we are traveling.
His employees seem so happy ♥️
They pay minimum 16 N hr
What a great American company. Takes care of their employees and customers. Reminds me of another company - Costco. We need more companies like this. God bless him and he needs to come to California ASAP!
One thing I've noticed since Buc-ees has become a thing here in Texas along most major highways between cities is now the amount of nasty bathrooms at other gas stations has gone way down. Kind of like Elon has changed the auto industry, Buc-ees has changed the gas station bathroom.
Love Buc-ee's...went for the first time to the one in GA in November...
LOVE Buc-ee's!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best travel stop EVER! Heck we even just take a drive to Buc-ee's. It's GENIUS!
Love Buc-ee’s. Best restrooms anywhere and great BBQ!
I'm looking forward for the one that's being built in Crossville Tennessee to get finished
Amazing place, Amazing people, Amazing Country !!!!!!! I Love this Earth ! ..........alex vitebsk Belarus 🎩 ✌
Buc-ee's is a hit in Alabama near Birmingham. One day, I'll visit and have an experience like none other.
Love Buc-ees! Have visited the new ones in Daytona Beach and St.Augustine, Florida.
Buc-ee's just opened in Richmond, Kentucky. First one in the state, and I think they plan to build more.
Somewhere around Bowling Green, KY
Love Buc-ee’s. When we go to Orlando, we are stopping at both the Calhoun and Warner Robins locations.
Good for him and his partner….blessings!
I love our Buc-ee's here in Warner Robins GA!!!
ill never forget my first bucees trip. people walk around with shopping carts and shop like its walmart. truly an experience.
One of my favorite stops when I'm in Texas!
Thank you Texas! We got Buc-ees and soon we will have Whataburger! The Peach State does love Texas things!
of course there's nothing like TX
You must live by Canton. Me too.
