Going Ashore in Texas (Buc-ee's Baytown, Texas) Vlog

In this episode I got off the hip in the port of Houston, TX. I have been many times, but I needed to scratch a trip to the famous Buc-ee's off my list so I will show you the one located in Baytown, Texas. I had a great time there and will go again for sure....Enjoy.

    There is a Buc-ee‘s near us here in Florida. They have the best price on diesel, so that’s where my husband fills our truck.

    That's awesome and I was so surprised after 3 months when I got home how much the gas prices went up again so of course that is a plus. Thank you for watching and for your comment. I did not know they had those in Florida as well.. Have an awesome day Page!

    Great video. There will be a Buc-ee's coming to Virginia. It will be just outside of Richmond in a town called New Kent off I-64 at exit 211. The store will be 74,000 square feet and have 120 gas pumps. It should open in 2027. That should be a short drive for you in the Norfolk / Virginia Beach area.

    Where or what is a Buc-ees. Some sort of tribute to beavers? Why is there such a demand for the merchandise. It seems(what ever it is) to be just as popular as Disney Land?...

  • @JeffOnboard

    @JeffOnboard

    Жыл бұрын

    I believe the name is because beavers have really big teeth which are also known as "buck teeth" and it is a huge gas station and store which is why it is well known because it is so much larger than what would be considered normal and they have so much merchandise. It is a really nice place.

    The name and mascot come from the founder Arch "Beaver" Aplin III, who gained the nickname "Beaver", during his childhood and it was inspired by the "bucky beaver" mascot featured in the ipana toothpaste commercials of the 50's and 60's. The first Buc-Ees was opened in 1982 in Lake Jackson, Texas. Today, there are dozens of locations, most of them are throughout Texas with more and more being planned, built, and opened inside and outside of the Lone Star State.
