Whats the appeal to having a nice gas station where you live?



I want a nice gas station in other states that I drive through.

It isn't where I live. It is however on nearly every way out of Dallas so I can fill up at the start of a trip whether I'm going to Houston, Austin, Louisiana, or Oklahoma.

Yeah they do a great job of picking their spots. The ones here are about halfway between Dallas and Austin and Dallas and Houston, one in Denton right where 35E and 35W merge coming from downtown fort Worth and dallas, one in terrell at the HWY80/I20 split, and they're building one off I30 in royse city about 45 minutes east of downtown on the way to Texarkana.

we try to make it a point to stop at either Raising Canes off I-10 in Sulphur or Chick-Fila in Lafayette (exit 104)...if it is a Sunday, the new Racetrack across the street works now.

BR really should be their next stop, as its a good point for texas people heading to the Alabama/florida beaches


I am assuming the Orange Beach Buccees is meant for Louisiana people headed to Destin.



My in-laws have a condo in OB, so I will never stop at that actual Buccees

A few years ago, I never had even heard of Bucee's. We were nearing one in Texas and my daughter kept bragging about it...dad its got like a 100 gas pumps. Of course, I didn't believe her...thought she was exaggerating.
My mouth dropped open when I saw it. Of course, I'm old, so.

Extremely impressed.

Amen. Preach brother preach. The love affair the OT has with Bucees is flat out retarded. I've hit them up a few times and it is really nice for a gas station. It's like a Flying J with no trucks and no trucker destroyed bathrooms.

Who cares if it has a hundred gas pumps? I just need one open to fill up my car. I've never been to any interstate side gas station where I had to wait for a pump to open up.

I also don't care that their employees have a dental plan. Seriously I don't walk into a Stuckeys and ask to see their employee benefit and retirement plan before buying some fried chicken livers and pecan logs.

Stuckeys > Bucees, more character vs. sterile and generic. Plus Stuckeys is the OG for road trips. Mad respect for them. They are all over the south too. Not just East Texas or the lone Bama location.

Yeah... your point is? There’s nothing wrong with the state of Alabama. Some of you clowns on here try to tell yourselves that just to feel better. Besides the UA football team, nothing about the state bothers me.

That place is going to be insane with people in summer, but I will be happy to be one of them.
