… but I kind of like it better. I’m digging the road trip vibe, vs the overwhelming amount of beaver products (although there are plenty of Wally bear).

There’s only three, one in St Louis and two in Illinois.
















And it wouldn’t be the same if everyone didn’t leave their vehicles parked at the pump while they shopped and dropped.

Those stores are a metaphor for America...

They're nice, but they're no Buc-ee's. Everything's bigger in Texas including our g-stations...

I bet Wally's corporation has been sued by Buc-ee's in federal court on some frivolous shite just because Buc-ee's wanted to break their balls a little bit...

I was in the one in St. Louis two days ago.

It's a nice convenience store; I like their popcorn.

It looks like they literally copied everything about Buc-ee’s. I mean literally everything even down to the layout of the BBQ station to how the drink machines and cups fit into the wall to having a vehicle in the store and an animal mascot and a wall of jerky.

It’s the most blatant ripoff I think I’ve ever seen.

I went to one and it was a nice store. But compared to Buc-ee’s it was like a Racetrack.

Good store, yes.
Comparable to Buc-ee’s, no.

I’ve only been to their newer stores but the one in Athens AL, Smiths Grove KY, Kodak TN and Adairsville GA seemed like the same layout.

We have been to the one west of St. Louis. Vintage toys and games were fun gifts.

I’m sure the layouts vary a bit from store to store, but what I mean is the layout of the BBQ counter and the drink station, for example. The BBQ spot is a round counter with sandwiches.

You can even see how they copied the fresh potato chips.






Buc-ee’s drink machines with the cups in the wall and the lids and napkins across from it at a separate counter. Exactly the same as what Wally’s does.



A wall of jerky:




Vehicle in the store:




Stuffed animal mascots:





I mean Wally’s literally just copied the entire concept tit for tat.

I guess that depends on how you define "good"?

Buc-ees is just a big convenience store with shopping attached. Wally's handles the core gas/food/drinks just as well as Buc-ees. Their other inventory/shopping is not nearly as robust as that part of Buc-ees.

So if your looking to stop and spend an hour while the wife looks at a bunch of shite you don't need. Buc-ees is your place. If you just want to fill up, take a piss, grab a drink and some snacks... they are both competent at that.
