It's just nice to have a proper clean loo to use when you're on a road trip.

I knew they were big, but I had no idea just how massive. They built one in SC on the way to the beach. On our last beach trip and the thing is the size of a Walmarts. We're definitely stopping in a few months when we go back to the beach.

@JJExtra And since you are from England..... you are closer than me to getting to see where the PBS TV series, All Creatures Great and Small, is shot!!!! I watched the special, All Creatures Great and Small: Touring the Dale's. They went to all the places where this show was made. Hope to get to England someday with the hubby!!! We got married April Fool's Day in 2023. Swimming with the dolphins at Discovery Cove was our "present" to each other. ❤️

Buc-ee's is a great stop for an American road trip. Most of them are in Texas and have recently started expanding to other southern states like Georgia and Florida. I'm surprised you didn't talk about the massive amount of fuel pumps outside! Hundreds of stations and the price is usually cheaper than any other gas stations around.

Love the title "Why are Americans...obsessed..." When most Americans have never been to or heard of a Buc-ee's, especially until a few years ago when they expanded outside of Texas. A lot of the youtube videos are from foreigners .

Yeah. This is a Texas thing more than an American thing. I am from Texas, and we LOVE Buc-ee's here. We drop in every chance we get. They're building a new one a few miles from is - this one is now going to be the largest one in America (world?). Definitely worth visiting.

Yup its absolutely much more a Texas thing than an American thing. It's slowly become a Southern Thing but even that will always be second to it being a Texas thing. I'm anxiously awaiting them building one here in Hill Country. The Beavers At Work sign is up on i-10 so there's progress lol.

I didn't know about this monstrosity until 2016. I stopped at the one in Baytown, Tx and the only reason I stopped was because of the price of fuel was so cheap. When I wanted to prepay I was annoyed because of how far I had to walk to find a check out counter to pay for my gas. They still have the cheapest gas when I travel to my relatives in Central Texas ( I'm in Florida). If their gas (petrol) wasn't so cheap, I wouldn't stop at that place.

The biggest Buc-ees is in New Braunfels Texas

If there is any store near where the build, with a name near their's they will sue them. To put them out if business.

I'm not a native Texan but have lived here for nearly two decades, and I think a lot of the things Texans (my wife included) just do backflips for are super over-hyped. Whataburger, for example, I think is absurdly overrated (it's good, but not remotely as good as Texans think it is). But Buc-ee's is the one Texas institution that absolutely, without question, not only matched but surpassed the hype for me.

I hate to break it to you, but Americans are not obsessed with Buc-ee's, most Americans have never even been to a Buc-ee's. It's a southern place, and unless you live in the south part of America you have probably never been to one. I am a 63 year old American in East Peoria Illinois and I have never been to a Buc-ee's in my life. Never plan to go to one either. It seems like tourists are obsessed with Buc-ee's, because they all seem to go there. To me it is just a gas station with food, and I would never buy any of their over-priced merch. I have been to Florida many times, and I never went to a Buc-ee's, it's just not something I want or need to do.
