I live in Georgia and I think a better location would be on I-75 between the Warner Robins exit and the Perry exit. You have all of those travelers going back and forth to the beaches. It is a highly traveled area and I think it would attract more locals in that area then closer to Atlanta.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710324106104136828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-45318688378629127012019-09-25T12:39:35.419-04:002019-09-25T12:39:35.419-04:00with just returning from Texas , and visiting 2 lo...with just returning from Texas , and visiting 2 locations . i like the store .<br />it has a lot of stuff mostly over priced . like a shirt 20.00 , you can get else where for 10.<br />the food is really good.

We make it a point to visit a couple of different Bucees anytime we are in TX to buy snacks and gifts for friends and family back in Ga. <br />Bucees is nothing like Loves or QT or any other place you've ever visited. <br />I'll give you a couple of examples. <br />#1 Bucees is not a truck stop and they do not allow any big rig parking on the property.<br />#2 They have the absolute cleanest and best decorated restrooms of ANY public place I have ever been in....ANY PUBLIC PLACE.<br />#3 They offer snacks on a grand scale, not just prepackaged garbage but freshly made BBQ, jerky, pastries, kolaches(you may have to Google Kolaches but if you haven't ever had them your in for a treat)<br />#4 They offer both novelty gifts and higher end gifts. On section of the store is a novelty gift sections for kids with things like Bucees tshirts, which are a favorite for adults as well, toys, souvineers, etc. Another different section offers higher end gifts such as jewelry, leather goods, home decor and clothing geared towards adults. Each of these sections ALONE are larger than most Quick Trips I've been in.<br />#5 The staff at these Bucees are there to help make sure your visit is a good one. They are friendly, they walk the property talking to folks and seeing if they can do anything to make the visit any better. They offer free samples of the goodies the cook or prepare on site. I've never waited longer than about 2 minutes at any bucees register. <br />I was really curious about the new Bucees opened in Al. I wanted to know if they were staying true to their roots by opening outside of TX so we hopped on the bike and made the 5 hour ride from NW Georgia just to check them out. I was VERY pleasantly surprised to see the new store is keeping with tradition and they even had Kolaches, which are difficult to find in Ga. Something I thought was funny, of the approximately 200 cars in the parking lot and gas pumps, I'd say 1/4 of them had TX plates. Looks like I wasn't the only one comparing. I hope this helps.

It's not just a convenience store; they have grilling supplies, home decor, toys, etc. plus dirt cheap gasoline. If you've never been to one, it makes QT look like a run down pit stop gas station in comparison (and I love QT).

Texas is a large state with vast areas of open land. The state has a culture of just making everything bigger and boasting about it. It is dry with few, if any, trees in the outlying areas - like a prairie. Thus, few, if any, trees are cut down to build this. The land is rolling hills/flat so not much land is bulldozed and graded to make it level for this. Georgia is very wooded and hilly. To try to install this in Georgia would require a massive amount of tree cutting. And it is hilly in Georgia so there would a lot of grading/destruction of land and a drainage issue from runoff from the large asphalt surface. Not everything done in one state is suitable in other states. There should be some limit on how much destruction one should do for a retail store/gas pumps. If there is already land that is cleared/vacant, maybe that would be more suitable. But there will always be a concern from all the gas fumes for workers and citizens which is more important.

Buc'ees is so uniquely Texan in their branding, I just can't see cowboy hats, Lone Stars, and breakfast tacos going over well with Georgians. I will say they're nicer than QT, but serves a totally different purpose than that store...Locust Grove, Lavonia, Bremen/Villa Rica, Adairsville, Dublin, Tifton, or Valdosta would be perfect locations along the Interstate Highways. I just couldn't envision it any closer to Atlanta. Even the locations that are close to Houston are relatively far from the city itself.<br /><br />Getting Wawa to open locations in Metro Atlanta would be more realistic and practical, but I don't see Georgia getting Wawa in the near future, unless they're open along the I-95 corridor first to link to their locations in Florida.
