1/2/2024 0 Comments Buckies gas stationsSo if you’re desperate for some chocolate and peanut butter, and want to pay a little bit more than what Reese’s will set you back, you can try a Buc-ee’s Overbite this thick little treat, in the shape of the face of Buc-ee himself, coats an ample helping of peanut butter inside a variety of chocolate, from milk to dark to white. Yeah, they usually cost more, but the quality does seem higher. Buc-ee’s is different in that it has its own branded products in addition to the big names. You’re not going to find a RaceTrak-branded knockoff of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Most of the destination gas stations-your QuikTrips, Sheetzes, and Wawas-sell food heated up or prepped onsite, and leave the packaged stuff to the major brands. The far wall of the store comprises a small bunker of coolers stocked with soda, beer, and other drinks if central Georgia somehow came under attack, I’m pretty sure I’d feel safer hunkering down in there than I would any local bomb shelters. If you don’t need any road trip snacks, you can search through the store’s clothing section for all your cartoon beaver needs, or find the kind of old-fashioned or aspirational wall signs your parents or grandparents probably decorate their house with. Most of that space is devoted to food, with a grill, a bakery, a station in the center devoted to BBQ, a selection of sausages, all the prepackaged chips and candy you expect from a gas station, and an entire wall’s worth of various jerkies. (Oh, and The Office Funko Pops, for some reason.) It’s overwhelming, and not really in a good way-especially when the store is packed, which it has been every time I’ve stopped. I don’t even think it’s fair to call Buc-ee’s a gas station Buc-ee’s is basically a K-Mart that only sells junk food and Buc-ee’s shirts. I’m no expert on the standard size of gas stations, but I’m pretty sure you could fit five or six QuikTrips into a single Buc-ee’s, with enough room left over for a RaceTrac or two. And now that I’ve been to the Warner Robins store three or four times, I’m left with one major thought coursing through my brain: Buc-ee’s is too damn big. I’m not typically one to drive through (or even to) Texas, so I never got to experience the wonder that is Buc-ee’s until they recently opened two locations in Georgia. If you’re in tune with the gas station wars, you’re probably heard the tales of the Texas chain with the massive stores, huge selection of food, and, most notably, the cleanest bathrooms you’ll ever find on the highway. The legend of Buc-ee’s has spread far and wide over the last decade.
