    It's crazy to see how small the original Buc-ee's is compared to the other big ones in other states. Hope you and Jenn have a great time Jacob! 😊😊

    Yall were about a 10 minute drive from the local "big" buccees in the Clute/Lake Jackson area, and believe it or not, its one of the more unique ones. It the only Buccees with a car wash AND a coffee shop.

    I loved the toy museum, and I had so many of them when I was a kid, especially the Star Wars ones. The first Buc-ee's was interesting. Talk about humble beginnings, but without that one, there would be no others. Also, can we all just take a moment to admire Miss Jen's T-shirt? Clever girl, indeed.

    That's just how good the marketing was when we were kids, we'd want the item w out even knowing why. The tackle box w the animal cards was a buy only on tv commercial, ran all the time on tv. Were a few things I noticed out of time line , like I had the Nintendo NES in 86 etc. I actually have a lot of these items u saw as a retro collector & store! Oh the good ole years, takes ya back!

    I had that McDonald’s play set. It was like the play food kitchen style. There was fake plastic ice cream that would fall into like the cones or bowls. There was fake drinks that would look like they were coming out of the machine attached to the top. The play food sets back in the day were top notch.

    I remember when that Buc-ees opened in 1982. I made a video of it also a couple years ago in my list. Some people may argue with you saying it is in Lake Jackson though, not Clute. It kind of right on the city line.
