Buc-ee’s fuel stops, founded in 1982 in Lake Jackson, Texas by a couple of guys with the business model of “Clean bathrooms” has taken off to include 50 locations across America, boasting…cheapest fuel, longest car wash and worlds largest convenience store…selling like everything…food, clothing, toys, homewares, gifts, pet stuff, BBQs, Artwork and anything else you can think of!
Buc-ee is a beaver! This store is in Texas city about an hour south of Lake Jackson, and Tona and I set off for a shopping day…first hitting the outlet mall…
A very quiet Tuesday, and great customer service as we hit the Levi’s, Hey Dude, and every other brand you can think of…beelining for the clearance sections (me anyway) and picking up some great bargains! Saving the best for last and spending an hour and a half at buc-ees…
Greeted by the smell of their famous BBQ cooking as we entered…we picked our way around the Warehouse sized store…collecting our treasures…
A bathroom stop…in the beautiful art adorned bathrooms, who else would think of selling artwork on the bathroom walls!
A bakery full of 99cent cookies, which I forgot to stock up on as we left…
There huge range of beef jerky in every flavour you could imagine and more…and their production line of pulled pork, brisket, turkey and chicken sandwiches …. Whose aroma filled the store, and one just had to grab a variety for dinner on the way out…
Then to top it off…the job vacancies board outside…
Some pretty good wage rates for those looking for work, especially when converted to NZD! At this time.
While the world is reeling from Mr Trumps tariffs, fueled by mainstream media….business at Buc-ees is booming, and life goes on!
