Why is Buc-ees So Popular?

It seems like everyone online raves about Buc-ees. In fact, the Buc-ees chain is so popular that when my family took a vacation to Fort Morgan, Alabama last summer, my brother tried to plan the exits we took to hit a Buc-ees on the way down.  It's that kind of popular!  So what makes Buc-ees so popular?  According to a quote from Buc-ees general manager, Martin Loya to Austonia simply "we are the Disney of convenience stores."

Buc-ees is Larger Than Life

Buc-ees is a gas station and convenience store so it's a perfect stop for stretching your legs when fueling up on the road.  Straight from the Buc-ees website they say they have the cleanest bathrooms in America! They also are known for their New Braunfels location which is the world's largest convenience store, and they own the world's longest car wash which is 255 feet long in Katy, Texas.  So they are known for doing things BIG! They also have pretty much everything you could ever want in a convenience store, including fresh-made food!

Add a Stop at Buc-ees Onto Your Smoky Mountain Getaway

As someone who personally loves to visit the Sevierville, Tennessee area, I was really excited to see the Buc-ees location opening there will be open sooner rather than later. According to WBIR the official opening date will be June 26th.  The Buc-ees will be located at exit 407 off I-40 and Winfield Dunn Parkway. TheSmokies.com says the new location will offer all of the Buc-ees staples from Beaver Nuggets, to jerky, and even Buc-ee's famous Brisket Sandwich.

So if you're planning a trip down to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge anytime soon, you'll definitely want to make a stop at the newest Buc-ees location in Tennessee!
