Seriously why do we need so many separate Buc-ee's threads when one would suffice? They definitely don't belong on the General board and shouldn't be dominating Off Topic.
Yeah I agree. I like Buc-ee's (see my signature if not convinced. I also live about 15 minutes from the first Buc-ee's), but the amount of threads about it is a little unhinged.
It looks like all these threads are being started by one particular beaver cult member.
And for god's sake, it's a gas station.

It's more than a gas station, to be fair.

Gas station and big storage room of mostly stuff no one will ever buy.

Granted, isn't a service plaza the same thing? :pan: :spin:
(notwithstanding having to walk through merchandise-ville just to go to the potty)
Merged all I could find (5 of them) and put in the Travel board. Let me know if I missed any.

Sounds like you've never been in a Buc-ee's. The answer is quite obviously no.

Buc-ee's is certainly no Sheetz.

Service Areas have a place to sit down and eat your food; Buc-ees doesn't.
This forum has Beaver Fever. :bigass:

The road hobby has always had an issue with gas station chain fandoms. That said, I don't recall the Wawa and Sheetz stuff as being quite pervasive or caustic as the Beaver Cult postings.

A huge footprint, but no dining area? I'd rather stop at a Pilot or Flying J.
I see Virginia is about to get one along I-81. Its the first in the Dominion State.

In that case, the next time there is a forum meet in Northern Virginia, the lunch stop almost certainly has to be at this place (https://maps.app.goo.gl/x1W8wzrAoHG93bq97).

Not gonna lie, I rather spend my money at a strip club. Considering I haven't been to a strip club since I was 20 probably speaks to how low of a place Buc-ee's now occupies in my mind.
Ironically, this "in one thread" suggestion thread has also become a redundant thread with the one in Off-topic.
Yeah whatever. Any updates on land acquisitions for the Buc-ees opening 350 miles from my house by 2055?

I got told it's gonna be so big that you may very well have to move.

I've been kicking around the idea of another Richmond meet at some point, and they do have a location in Scott's Addition...

(I only know this because it was a gym in Pokemon Go at the time I played. I promise.)
I had no idea they were a chain.
