Pretty sure Buc-ee’s Corporate is in Lake Jackson. One of their original locations in Freeport sucked offshore guys in by the droves because they sold the huge bags of ice for $1. Their marketing team are geniuses.

That's where it was founded... I thought the main corp offices had moved to Pearland, but still possible there is a HQ presence in LJ

I'm not sure what incentives the state/parish offered them, but the one being built by Foley Express is getting 7 million in new market tax credits. I feel like if the state/parish would have stepped up to help, it would be open by now.


This.

It’s not a coincidence they backed out after JBE got inaugurated

I'm not a fan of his either, but I think he was governor when they announced they were coming and then when they decided to leave..The police killings and flood were the as much a part as not getting state money, I'm sure

Not that I think he had anything to do with it, but the original announcement was after he was in office.

I wish they’d open one on 49. That stretch of highway is a waste land. I know there’s not enough traffic, but I can be hopeful, right? I just someone would build a decent gas station with clean bathrooms. They all SUCK.

I’ve tried just about every gas station and fast food joint in Natchitoches and every last bathoom is disgusting. Alex is no better. I usually stop just south of Shreveport at the casino/gas station. That place is ok.

I love Buc-ees, but I did discover a weakness recently: there is no place to eat.

You can buy all kinds of great food, but there is not so much as a picnic table to sit down at to eat.

I never noticed before, but i had some time to kill and I wanted to eat my bbq sandwich and chips there. No dice.
