Minnesota doesn’t have Buc-ee's!
If you know Buc-ee's, then you know.
But if you haven't heard of this amusement park sized gas station, I'm thrilled to introduce you. From the massive 120-pumps to cutesy home gifts to the huge unbeatable food selection…. so many reasons to visit Buc-ee's and clearly why it’s is the most popular convenience store in Texas. and it is Texas Sized.
So I stopped and put the drone up. And bought beef jerky and beaver nuggets. So good.
Almost more of an attraction than a pitstop, the mega-gas station grocery store leans into their beaver mascot very proudly, offering every branded item imaginable... There are candles, western wear, home decor items, kids' toys, but the real crowd is around the meat counter, watching as fresh brisket is carefully assembled into buns.
Pulled pork sandwiches and potato chips are prepared on site. The bakery and fudge counter is a sugary diabetic coma waiting to happen. Signature items include Beaver Nuggets (puffed corn nuggets with a crunchy brown sugar caramel coating), an assortment of kolaches, and over a dozen flavors of their famed beef jerky.
Even if you're simply popping in for a bathroom break, the quality of Buc-ees restrooms is unlike anything else you'll see on the roads. Think sports stadium amount of stalls, but with restaurant-restroom quality facilities.
Simply amazing. My son told me I had to stop. And now I tell you…
(PS. What is that design on the roof?)
