Bathrooms are a push, but the faucet in Wally’s is a horizontal bar with a soap dispenser on the left, water in the middle and an air dryer on the right…..on every sink. Never seen that before.


Saw this in a rest area on I95 in Florida last week. I'd never seen it before then. Thought it was interesting.

Very similar looking mascot from the headshot, but Wally is a bear.


Cease and desist on the way from Buc-ee's...those folks protect that brand fiercely.

from Louisiana... have been wishing a Buccees would appear for the past 8 years... literally the shittiest stretch in the US with trashy as shite bathroom stops... I guess there’s just no demand because people dgaf and the good gas station owner/developers realize it’s a lost cause. Sad.

I love how they used the National Lampoons model as well. Name of the store is Wally's after Wallyworld and their address is 1 Holiday Road (Christmas Vacation) in Illinois which is where the Griswold family is from.
And last but not least, the front of the store is modeled after the front of the ultimate vacation vehicle, the family truckster.

Really wish the state tourist board would take it over or help broker a sale of the place to someone who would renovate it and make it worth a damn. It’s a shell of terrible.

Due to work moves, I live within 5 miles of Buc-ee's in Baldwin County. All I can say is frick a-hole tourists. You fricks drive like downright maniacs and clog up otherwise rural roads.

Yep. I like Busy Bees in Florida too. They have equally as nice, if not nicer bathrooms too
