I wish they could get Boston Market to set up shop over there.

It's a fricking truck stop for God's sake
This is all pretty funny. I would imagine a lot of people thought it was more than a truck stop when it was a "done deal".

Location flooding is probably the reason why
They could easily find another location

The clientele and workers in Buc-ee's is what I would call the exact opposite of Wal Mart.

Millerville is a weird location for something like that IMO.

Would someone elaborate on what makes a truck stop and a gas station a destination? I'm genuinely curious why you would pass up one stop to go to another.
We don't have a Bucees, Wama, or QT here at all, so I'm curious.

I think it will be just an entire storage place.
The one on Old Hammond/Millerville? I think I read that they wanted to redevelop the whole thing for retail.

I don't understand what is the damn fanfare with this place. It's just a big arse gas station.
With the cleanest restrooms you'll find outside your home....(Maybe cleaner). It is also a great change of pace for kids on a road trip.

Either Zaxby's or Golden Corral. There's another restaurant going there but but I'm not sure what it is. I imagine a competitor to Chili's.....so Applebee's or something similar. I think a Japanese car dealership is also going in there.
It's not a particularly high end development, but it is still a weird place for a massive gas station. It's not a real fit with the retailers there and it's on the upper left quadrant of the interchange. Usually the fuel stations prefer the upper right or lower left because of traffic patters and visibility.

at all you people who got excited for a crummy texas gas stationPosted on 10/4/16 at 4:46 pm to kywildcatfanone

Like its other stores in Texas, the local Buc-ee’s would have been larger than any other rest stop in the area, with 90 fueling pumps and more than 60,000 square feet of retail space.

All of this and then some. Crazy clean restrooms. Lots of options for food. The worst part for Louisiana is they'll miss out on Buc-ee's minimum pay to their employees of $12.00 an hour.
Everything you need to know about what La. lost.

Car dealers, office buildings, local/regional shopping, and restaurants make sense in that development.
100+ gas pumps seems more challenging. By the time you'd have seen it from the westbound side of the freeway, you would have already past the exit.

Love those. The ones around PHX Metro area all seem to employ mostly young, friendly college-aged kids(some of them even really cute college-aged women). You walk into a QT and at least 2 employees will give you a friendly hello and welcome you to their store. Best convenience store customer service I've experienced in AZ.
