I've been in Texas (Dallas) now for 42 years and never heard of Bucees. Are there any in the DFW area? flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

If you get out much they are on the major freeways. Like if came down here to Houston you would see a cuople on the way. Not really IN the major cities but kind of like a super nice truck stop along the way. | |||

The best thing about them is their bathrooms and ethanol free gasoline. Everything they sell is overpriced. | |||

Buc ees was started by two guys who had a small convenience store in Clute, Texas, in Brazoria County which is the coastal county just south of Harris ( Houston). Clute or thereabouts. I worked at the courthouse a few miles north in Angleton. I had an employee who was friends with one of the owners. Just a couple of regular guys who had an idea. Immaculately clean restrooms and cheap gas. Profits on other stuff. Bar b q pits, hunting stuff, especially in season. Dang near everything except the guns and ammo. Clothes, ice chests some high end, junk, etc. | |||

The first one I ever went to was located across from the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth! | |||

There's one not too far from where I live. I35W just south of Denton. I bit of a a trip from where you are, but if you're bored some day, maybe make a drive and spend and hour wondering around. Yes... you can spend an hour. Get some E0 gas while your at it. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||

Shit that would be the only way they could improve...put a gun store in a few.

On a recent road trip, passed a bunch of them and wondered what they were about. We didn't stop as we thought it was a membership type arrangement based on the large number of gas pumps and extremely clean appearance. We asked at an RV park we stayed at in Ormond Beach, FL. about them. They highly recommended the one nearby in Daytona Beach area and that it wasn't a membership. We went there, gas prices were the cheapest of the trip. Inside was pretty darned cool, good snacks galore, with amazing selections of jerky, nuts and other snacks. The food (we had the BBQ) was pretty tasty and reasonably priced. We also picked up some breakfast items. They also had clothing, RV supplies, etc. but we didn't need any of that. We will definitely use them again in the future. IMO, the prices were below those at Loves, Flying J's etc. and the store itself had better selections of fresh food. Tony | |||

You might as well make a day of it. Visit the Buc-ees at I-35W & Hwy 114 at far north Fort Worth, right by the big race track. The other part of the day you could tour the US Bureau of Printing, where they print the paper money. It's only a few miles away. US Bureau of Printing Fort Worth LINK They're currently closed to tours, but hopefully will restart soon. Should be very interesting. I highly recommend it. . | |||

I like to imagine these two good ole boys sitting out by a fire drinking beer coming up with this idea. Let’s build a huge gas station. 50 pumps? No make it 100. 4 slurpee machines? No 8. Two atms, no 4. Let’s sell BBQ, fudge, cake balls, and jerky. Let’s put 30 ice machines outside and sell it dirt cheap. Let’s sell smokers and grills and fire pits. We will make a custom chip, a Cheeto without cheese but add sugar and we’ll call’em beaver nuggets. We’ll pickle everything we can think of and sell it. Oh and screw those nasty truck drivers…. We’ll ban them from the property. | |||

Well, I don't really think of those places as "DFW" but they are closer. I may have passed the one one at Melissa--there is some kind of a large truck stop where the Melissa Road crosses US-75, but I thought it was a Love's. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

On a recent drive on I-10 we stopped at a Buc ees in Mississippi I think. The shear size of the place was unbelievable. _________________________ OH, Bonnie McMurray! | |||

| Do---or do not. There is no try. |
The one in Melissa is right up Central Expressway---easy drive. | |||

That's US-75. IIRC, it's been there for a long time, originally all alone with nothing around it. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
