Update - Liberals are threatening to BOYCOTT

Buc-ee’s will continue to open its super-popular convenience stores in conservative, pro-business states, founder Arch “Beaver” Applin said at a store opening recently.
The growing company, which was granted a building permit earlier this month for its Lafayette location, recently opened a store in Benton, Arkansas.
“When you find a conservative, business-friendly state with a phenomenal workforce, it makes a difference,” Applin said at the store’s opening. “I’m starting to realize life is too short to try to build in places where people don’t appreciate what you’re bringing.”
Applin spoke at the ribbon-cutting for the 74,000-square-foot store along I-30 southwest of Little Rock. Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was also in attendance, and he lauded her efforts along with state government in getting the established.
“That idea of conservative, business-friendly, family-oriented concept works so much better if it trickles down from the very top,” he said.

You can get a decent gas can, though. Hat tip on that one.

I'm sure there is a judge or two around that is willing to tell them they have to operate in blue states too!!

Buc-ee's is mid, the cult following is very strange IMHO.

Makes sense, why go to states that are hostile to businesses and will enforce unrealistic minimum wages 
Posted on 8/30/26 at 8:01 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
Why would they want to open where stealing stores out of existence is considered a career choice?

The Bucee's nuggs are corn nuggs, not rice. What part of China do they make all of those flavors of jerky and delicious brisket at?

Didn’t the founders son get arrested for secretly filming his friends and guests getting undressed, having sex and in the bathroom plus some child porn?

You seem suspiciously well-informed on this.
And "well-informed" doesn't seem like you.

Good.... THIS is the way.
Entrepreneurs and business owners who create great places should never do business in Democrat-run cities/states.
Unless you are running a liquor store, payday loan/cash checking, PAWN shop, etc.... then you should avoid all Democrat areas like the plague.
Elections have consequences and whenever a place continues to vote in anti-Business/Democrat politicians.... this should be the immediate answer. Pull all investments from the hell-hole.
