My family used to be an oil distributor. We had stations and mini markets in five states. You really don't make any money from fuel sales. Your money comes from the sales in the mini market. Buc-ees justifies all of this by the huge indoor sales. Americans drive long distances. We always planned our stops on trips by who had decent food, restrooms, and when our kids were young...a play area. Buc-ees gives you a shot at clean restrooms, decent food, snacks to take, a chance to stretch your legs, and toys to bribe your kids for the next leg of the trip.
Tons of souvenirs, clothes, hats and more.
You do realize Texas has about half the population of the UK not to mention 50+ million visitors per year.
LOL not only does a Buc-ee's have "that much traffic", but at busy times like on a Saturday afternoon they're absolutely packed wall-to-wall with hundreds of people. The amount of cash flow they generate see must be astonishing.
It's a bit overwhelming too. If you don't like chaotic crowds you need to stay away. But I can't believe how good the brisket sandwich was. Better than most restaurants. I'm addicted to the beaver bites too. But too far away from me, sadly.
@@baileysgrammy Best time to go is later at night. Hardly anyone in there except a couple stoners getting some snacks lol
@@dylnfstr That's good to know. We actually live too far away from one. We just specifically went out of our way back from Myrtle Beach to the Florence one for our first and only visit. But my daughter & her family went to the one I think in Seiverville TN one while on vacation & were very overwhelmed. I hate crowds but I actually ignored the crowd because I was so impressed with the store which is saying a lot for me. It was mostly in the food area. Once we got into the other area it was a lot better
They have Buc-ee's in different states across the South, it is home based in Texas. These gas stations are located near major traffic points, like the interstate highway system with large volume of cars passing through.
People outside of North America underestimate the sheer size of North America. Our travel distances are huge. We routinely do rode trips in excess off 200 or 300 miles. That is roughly 4 to 6 hours of driving nonstop. We typically spend 6 to 12 hours on the road. There is not just Buc-eyes, there is Pilot, Luv’s , Wawa, Sheetz’s, Royal Farms. There are also various Travel Plaza’s. Cars are a huge part of North American life because of the distances
This is a chain of stations started in Texas in 2003. Today there are 50 in the Southern states: 35 in Texas, 4 in Alabama, 2 each in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky; 1 each in Missouri. South Carolina and Colorado.
Wow, they’ve grown an empire! 😁
@@AliKaiProject plans finalizing on Arizona, N. Carlolina, and Ohio, Mississippi. I am most certain they are scouting Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah and Nevada. Just say no to California, they are not a business friendly state.
Buc-ee's has about 120 gas pumps at their largest location. It's the largest gas station in the World.🙂
They have a lot more food than what they purchased, a whole lot more.😊
This is the Buc-ee's location in New Braunfels, Texas. It is about 15 miles away from my front door. I go by all the time for gas as they have some of the best gas prices in town. They also have over 100 gas pumps so you almost never have to wait.
The Store is always busy but they have about 65 - 100 employees working at any one time so it is very well organized chaos. It is an incredible place and a must-not-miss stop when visiting. It is not a place to go for your regular groceries but is ideal for Buc-ee's branded special items.
An interesting fact is that they are a gas station and not a truck stop, big rigs are not allowed to park in the lot. The parking lot has about 1000 parking spaces but no big rigs are allowed. Also, they have amazing food but are not a restaurant, they have no seating inside or out. You purchase your food and eat in your car! I LOVE IT!
That's so awesome, the size of everything there is astounding. The food they have on offer looks really appetising too, based on the branding I'll assume everything is made in-house?
@@AliKaiProject Yes it is. And speaking as a Texan and I can tell you that there sliced brisket sandwich, chopped brisket sandwich and pulled pork sandwich are all fantastic.
If you have kids and take a road trip you will definitely plan your trip based on Buc-ee's locations (the bathrooms are exceptionally clean). I'm in Austin so maybe 45 minutes from the store in New Braunfels.
Between the cheap gas prices and the extremely clean bathrooms, not to mention great food, it's no wonder they are packed. Genius move on their part, they've gotten far too much of my money when we've stopped. 😂
Bucee's pays the people who clean the bathrooms more than they pay the cashiers. They are known for their clean bathrooms. 😎😎😎😎
If you've never been to the US you can't imagine just how many gas stations are needed across the country and I can assure you that there are.tes throughout the day where finding a gas pump open might be difficult because of how busy it is. Getting in a car for a 2 hour commute somewhere is a small outing but in the UK a 2 hour trip in any direction will have a person driving into the sea. Lol
My most recent Buc-ee's anecdote. I went up to Arkansas for a brief family gathering, including cousins from Illinois. I bought a bagful of Buc-ee's stuff for my sister, who I figured had never been to one. When I met up with her first thing she says is "Cousin Brenda discovered this travel place called Buc-ee's, ever heard of it? They can't stop raving about it!" A week later my sister texted me about the planned first Buc-ee's in Arkansas -- it'll be two hours away from my sister's home but she insists she's going to be the first customer 🤣
They do have that much traffic. Generally the goal is to always have a free pump but during high travel days I've seen it properly full. They set off with the intention to make a safe and clean stop. There's also a crazy amount of bathroom stalls and it's very clean.
There are Buccee's all over the south and they all do just fine.
There is a bucees 5 minutes from my house in Texas. Yes it is always packed.
The largest Buc-ee’s currently in operation is in Seveirville, Tennessee. However, Jolly filmed this at one of the locations in Texas where the store originated. Enjoyed the video!!
A new Buc-ee's is being built which will bring the title of largest back to Texas.
@@justinhowell8873 no the new current biggest Buc-ee’s is in Luling Texas, I went there 2 weeks ago. They built a new one right next to the old one, which was the first “big” Buc-ee’s. Honestly at this point I don’t see the need for new records. Luling doesn’t carry any more merchandise, probably doesn’t do any more sales, it just has a large amount of open floor space (and in the newest Buc-ee’s they do not have those ordering kiosks).
It’s crazy how not only does this place get packed but it stays consistently packed. It is along interstate highway 35 and it connects Mexico to Canada with some of Americas largest cities along its way. Tens of millions of people pass by daily and the crazy part is there isn’t nearly enough bucees to go around.
I have been in one that was almost full at the pumps!! It would seem impossible, but it was a big holiday travel weekend.. Buckee's is a Texas thing.
Thank you 🙏 for getting lost ☝️you are great 👍 absolutely adventures the best way enjoying adventure ☝️😃👋☮️
There are more Buc-ee being build today across the South. and Buc-ee is very large and clean place to visited to go to, everytime I go ther I have to get the pecan flavor coffee.
@@valerieburris607 what? Where do you get pecan flavored coffee? I’ve never seen that at Buc-ee’s and I’ve often looked around for it. Is that by the rest of the coffee tanks?
Kolaches are excellent with mustard. Originally developed by Eastern European Texas immigrants, both as basic pastries and later as our beloved sausage and cheese versions.
They look yummy, Alice would probably be onboard with the mustard but I'm not a massive fan. :)
Bucees that size are off of major highways so the pumps are needed but they do have regular size bucees that usually are in towns/cities.
They are genius on how they make money. They sell cheap gas, cheap ice and cheap fountain drinks. That gets people in the door with products you’re breaking even on and they end up buying a whole lot more.
Beaver savant.😂😂😂 I do wish they tried the brisket sandwich though. I'm sure they're better ones out there, but for a gas/petrol station, they are fantastic!
When you are on your Texas road trip, it's exciting to see the funny Buccee billboards to tell you how many miles to the next Buccees. There are several Buccees on the open roads between cities.
The kolache they talk about is actually a klobasnek. Kolaches are sweet, similar to a Danish. Whereas klobasneks are savory, usually with sausage and often referred to as a pig in a blanket.
Kolaches are awesome. Soft dough encasing sausage and cheese. Yum. Now I'm hungry for some.
Buc-ees started in Texas, and there are around 37 stores just in Texas alone. They do have them in other states including Tennessee, mostly southern states Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia, and Alabama, but also Missouri and Colorado (which are not considered southern states) and one is now being built in my state of Virginia with 3 more planned just within Virginia.
I've been to Buc-ee's in Kentucky and Tennessee - they are awesome! The original Buc-ee's was built in Texas. Cleanest restrooms I have ever seen....(they are attended 24 hrs!) -- just awesome food, gas prices (and NO semi's allowed!! - it is NOT a truck stop!) Nuggets are delish!!! Also, by the way - they are an awesome employer!! They pay VERY well - their managers make 6 figures!!! States love when they come in - oh and of course, the employees are extremely friendly!!! Just a great place!!!
Can't believe all those flavors of beef jerky - and they pick Cherry Maple....UGH. I would have done bacon or teriyaki! lol
Just FYI -- they make brisket on site!! They put it into sandwiches which are absolutely delicious!! Yep - brisket!! I'm surprised Jolly didn't pick up a sandwich.....
I have to laugh when Olly says he's going to snap the fudge in half -- if fudge snaps -- it's really really hard and old! Fudge better not snap! LOL
They look awesome to be honest, we'd love to visit a Buc-ee's at some point. :)
Actually the biggest right now is in Tennessee 😂 They are building another larger one in Texas though ❤
The largest ones are usually situated near busy highways and freeways. A lot of traffic and 18 wheelers.
Buc-ees is a Texas company. It's only been in recent years that the company has expanded outside of Texas.
As big as they are they don't allow large cargo trucks to fill-up at the stations. They now have charging stations for electric cars.
There are smaller Buc-ee's in larger towns that are truly more like a nice convenience store. But the idea was to build a nice place for travelers to stop between large cities. As each one was built, they tried to make it larger than the last. As a traveler you know you are going to get a clean place to stop and there is food and other supplies (and lots of things you probably don't need) as well.
Texas has some crazy big interstates and it’s also a really big state. So it’s a really long drive trips state. They make gas stations that way to keep up with how many people stop by.
I live in Ohio and we are about to get our first Buckees and are so excited. I have never been to one and can't wait because it will be 15 minutes from where I live ❤❤❤❤
Kolaches have a variety of food in them. Normally you find sausage in them but there can be ham, jalapeno, etc. You'll find kolaches at donut shops a lot of time. They're a breakfast food.
Everything is a competition in America 🇺🇸
Ummm, if you're planning on driving in the U.S. from or to Texas to or from Louisiana - just remember there is a huge bridge that spans a few miles over water and very low guard rails... Good luck...
Oh cool, we'll do our best not to fly off the side. :)
They were badly misled about the jerky. That might be a good lesson to learn. Don't ask the servers what to buy.
I thought the same- with something like that, where you have dozens of flavors of jerky, look them over and pick the one that sounds best to you. My dad loves liver and onions, as well as oysters, while those are a couple things I can't stand! Everyone's taste is different.
It's a quirky tourist destination. People drive for hours to go there on purpose. They just put one in my state and it's about 120 miles away. Saturday road trip!!
Haha, they do look pretty awesome. I would definitely visit one if it was nearby. 😁
If you paid attention to the beginning it says they are in Texas. I am not sure if they were actually at the biggest Buc-ee's or meant in general it is the biggest gas station. Yes, currently the largest Buc-ee's is in Tennessee. However, they are tearing down the original one to make it the biggest. BTW it caught fire while they were tearing it down. Jolly did not allude to it, but the restrooms are one of their big draws. Some other folks who have done videos have shown them.
The largest Buc-ee’s is back in Texas and has been open for about a month.
Yep, new biggest is in Luling, opened on June 10 -- I went there 2 weeks ago. It's literally right next to the previous one, which is still standing.
AWWW your Luna is beautiful!! I had to put my huge Raggamuffin cat (19 yrs old!) down last week...I'm still missing him terribly.... Wonderful to see!
Oh darlin's there is an airport in EVERY State! In fact, every State has an International Airport except Nebraska, Arkansas, Delaware, S. Dakota and
W. Virginia! So you have 45 states to choose to fly into!! Just FYI - from Austin, Tx (where Terry Black's is) to New Orleans, Louisiana is 512 miles - which is about an 8 1/2 hr drive.... There is a Buc'ee's just outside of Austin!! So if you plan a trip I would suggest you plan on staying around the Austin area (which is the eastern side of the state) and you can drive to San Antonio (beautiful city) and Waco even up to Dallas (about a 3 hr drive) - and you can do Louisiana once you have seen Texas - to try to take on more of Texas in one trip....unless you only want to see Texas would be rough...keep in mind England fits into Texas 3 times!!
Luna definitely owns the place, we just live here. Couldn't imagine not having our fluff balls around, they really do make the house a home. :)
It is a destination on a major road trip the hotels near by are full you actually plan your trip for this stop
Jerky is travel food on a road trip.
I've never really tried it to be honest, I'll have to pick some up.
And Twizzlers ;)
They should have gotten some beef brisket sandwiches 16:08
Buc-ee’s original startup in Texas and now is many southern states and there’s a even bigger buc-ee’s then this one being built in Texas so I hope they start making them in the upper plains like lowa or Minnesota so I can see what the hype is all about
👍🏼
The newest and biggest one in Texas is now open….. 😎
Luna is beautiful!
It's almost like Buc-ees are competing with themselves. :D
The newest/biggest is now open.
There are 120 gas pumps, at that location. Big tractor trailer trucks are not allowed. They also have everything from fresh smoked bbq, to clothes, home decor and sporting goods. They will also let you sample any jerky, to find your favorite.
We’re sold, Buc-ees looks awesome! 😁
If Buc-ees had a hotel attached, we would vacation there .....
Absolutely! I think this often.
New Orleans is at the mouth of the Mississippi River where it enters the Gulf of Mexico. To get to New Orleans from Texas, you have to cross the entire state of Louisiana going east. Louisiana is across the Mississippi River from Mississippi.
Ummm yes it is always busy. That store don't help it makes it even busier
Buc-ee's doesn't build big just to do it. They have plans to suck all business on the Interstate for 100 mile radius. Have them placed every 200 miles and you can see why they need 120 fuel pumps. A little like a trip in the UK. Will you wait for the next Buc's or stop at a place with high prices, filthy bathrooms, & stale food? A Kolache is a Czech sweet pastry. What Jolly is eating is a Klobasniky which is the Czech savory version. Texas has a large Czech population & everyone else seems to get the two mixed up. They just call everything Kolache.
We don’t get the two mixed up…. we just appropriated the name. 😎
It seems like every donut shop in Texas has kolaches and virtually none are sweet pastries. No they aren’t authentic but that’s the name they are sold under.
Unless we go to a place like Hruska’s in Ellinger, a couple in West, etc. 👍🏼
Still need to work on the American mindset. We don’t ask why, we ask why not, then we clear all obstacles and it’s full speed ahead 😂
Slowly but surely! Alice is already on-board, I'm still a working progress.
I have seen all the gas pumps being use and people waiting to fill up
That’s mad! Do people park at the pumps and go shop?
@@AliKaiProject no once they are full of gas if they want to shop they pull into the huge parking lot. I live in New Braunfels where Jolly shot the video
biggest in the world.
Is it coming over there for men to share meals and drinks? Over here you won't see two men sharing like those guys do.
Why be excited by a friggen store in America ? Its weird 😮
Yeah so weird,foreigners be some weirdos, i agree with you! 100%.
Being weird is cool though! :)
