Seriously? Back in the early 80's my brother would take his Goldwing from Tallmadge, Ohio to Lake George, NY just to load the tail trunk with as many boxes of Friehoffer's Chocolate Chip Cookies as would fit. Sadly Friehoffer's was sold by the grandchildren of the Founder to Entemann's and one immediate change was the original recipe was tossed and the cookies became Entemann's crap cookies in a Friehoffer box. Note, that was a 1000 mile round trip and those original Friehoffer's cookies were worth the trip.

I think a movie is crying out to be made about Buc-cees. Sor of like that movie Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. It's more like Harold and Kumar gets Lost in Buc-cees.

I hope they succeed wildly so they plant one on the other side of the state.

Which side is the other side, the outside? De Forest is in the middle as far as east and west goes.

Finally you'll be able to get some decent BBQ in Wisconsin. I say this in jest because decent BBQ is rare in Wisconsin, and Bucees is probably just below decent BBQ.

I got a brisket sandwich in Florida at Bucees, and it wasn't bad for something sitting on shelf ready for immediate pick up. But it had something I've never experienced in brisket, gristle. I've been eating brisket for 60 years and had never found gristle until this. I sent an email to Bucees and asked them about it, and got no reply. I got another brisket sandwich last month at one, and same thing. I have to conclude the brisket sandwich is adulterated with other cuts.

The coffee creamers that are flavored taste like artificial flavored dogshit. The worlds biggest 7-11 can't have crappy coffee or creamers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
They better get rid of the gristle. Folks in Wisconsin will not tolerate that. They are a brats, beer and cheese state.

Wisconsin is way more diverse than just brats. They like their Italian and Polish sausages too.

Let’s not forget the all you can eat Friday night fish fry at the bowling alley either.

Assuming SW corner of Co Rd V I90 exit?
I don't get that way too often anymore, but will surely plan my stop there when I do.

Other than Milwaukee,Wisconsin is not a melting pot. I lived in rural Wisconsin for several years and all the fish fries were in the taverns. I lived in a very rural area where there were more dairy cattle than people.

Hey, someone had to say it!
I've stopped at a few Buc-ee's while traveling. It was really busy, which is great for business, but not so great if you're trying to get in and out and back on the road. There may have been 50-60 gas pumps but all of them were full. I had to wait and there wasn't much room to line up.
I have nothing against them... but it's a gas station folks.

I wouldn’t say it’s a gas station. It’s more of a food and retail store that happens to sell gas

The Buc-ees location in Daytona FL has 104 gas pumps. Probably needs a few more before you could legitimately call it a gas station.

The new location in Marion County FL, scheduled to open in 2025, will be the largest one in the Buc-ees chain with 120 gas pumps and 6,000 sq ft store area.

Their giant, clean bathrooms are greatly appreciated however...it's a department store/gas station.

Once you get done pumping your gas, is the absolute disaster of pulling away to park. Think you can just pull forward 200 ft to park and go inside, oh think again! There's (pick your stereotype) a fool who didn't bother to look both ways before pulling forward, just gassing it to get into that parking space in front. Do I speak from experience, why yes...twice, either somebody sped in front of me to pull into a parking spot or, nearly t-boned me as I was pulling away to leave. Next time whenever I'm around...I'll park at the end of the building to avoid the oblivious drivers.

It's a great trap to loosen more money from your wallet for goods you didn't know you needed. AND, its a whole lot better than any Flying-J, Love's or, any other truck-stop center

There is a film on Youtube that I think a guy from GB made. He flew to Texas just for the experience. It is interesting.

For those that say it’s just a gas station, what is better? I’ve yet to find cleaner restrooms. I rarely buy anything but ethanol free gas and use their facilities. The spousal unit appreciate their clean restrooms.

Maniacs with tunnel vision. Got to get to THAT parking slot. got to race to that one, doesn't matter that there might be a hundred empty parking places. Drivers in the Buc-ees parking area are tied with those in Walmart parking lots, for the most self-centered, inconsiderate, thoughtless jerks ever to get behind the wheel.

I could be wrong, but I thought the reason behind having a gazillion pumps was so you could just leave your car at the pump when you went inside?

Kwik-Trip is developing 150 acres just a couple miles South of the new Buc-ee's.

For a new distribution center. They aren't going away.

I would frequent a full service gas station.
