I would not drive that far just to go but I do stop there when I have to stop somewhere.

The store in Ennis has non ethanol gas and I get some for the lawn equipment a couple times a year.
My daughter's house is about 12 miles down the road that Bucee's is adjacent to in Ennis.

ok, so what I'm hearing is don't go, it's simply a gas station..then several comments on why would I drive to a gas station (other posts have told me it's more than that maybe they were wrong)

then that I might be mentally ill for going there..or that my elevator might not be going to the top

was thinking they had unusual treats including brisket, which is not sold anywhere here that I'm aware of

so which is it TFF....Bucee's is just a gas station or more than that?

then many comments saying never go at all and that you couldn't pay someone to go to Bucees

I prefer Buc-Ee's over the other stations around here. They have cheaper gas, best bathrooms, and a plethora of scenery to remove that worn out le syndrome from driving.

I'm lucky...I can get to of them in either route from my house so I usually base it off that.

Go, enjoy the drive, and enjoy what Buc-Ee's has to offer.

When you are up that way, go. If you don't go you will survive.

Thanks for that heads up. I'll be looking at that next time.

I was at Buckee's in New Braunfels last Tuesday morning filling up the boat and headed to Canyon lake and had a young woman come up asking for a ride. Not a looker but not a hag either. My head was on a pivot as I told her I did not give strangers a ride.
Watched her go approach another guy by himself as I was pumping gas. Filled up as fast as I could to get in the cab where my "buddy" was. Normally go in to go to the bathroom but that day I didn't take any chances and just waited until I got to the lake to relieve myself.

When they opened the one in Royse City, they offered a Buc-ees credit card that gave 20 cents off per gallon. Since they usually have the lowest prices around here, I got one of the cards, but I pay it off every month. After two years they dropped it to 10 cents per gallon and it was no longer the lowest priced gas but for me (I live about 7 miles from there and I go by there several times a week) it was still pretty good and they do sell alcohol free gas for boat and all my small engines so I still go there most times.

Just a two weeks ago they announced a new program that gives 5% off EVERYTHING in their store (was only gas before) if you use their card. So at $4.15 a gallon that drops it to $3.94 or about 20.75 cents a gallon so it is now pretty good again.

I would not drive out of my way to go to one but since I pass by there several times a week anyway, why not!

Think of it as a massive gas station, with a "mall of america" level snack store which also sell's soft and hardline merchandise

We stop at Buc-Ees and several other places on our 2 1/2 hour trip to 407bbq.

Clean restrooms and good snacks. Really sux when you can't get a pump with 60+...

There's one 5 minutes from my office.....I've never been in it

We have a high percentage of get off my lawn, cheapo, old men types here. They dont like much of anything, You cant really listen to them. I wouldnt make a special trip but when you do find yourself close to one absolutely stop.

It's a lot more than just a gas station.

If it’s something that interests you and your family, by all means do it. Why let these old curmudgeons influence your decisions? The quicker you learn not to let the irrational mentality in here help assist in your daily life and decision making, the quicker you will become that independent, thoughtful, caring, and compassionate person that your family wants you to be…….YOU GOT DIS’!

They have a selection of candied nuts that are seriously like crack, you have been warned. I wouldn't spend the money to drive there, but definitely stop if there is one one the way.



That brought back memories!
