About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Buc-ee’s one night, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve just discovered that our restrooms are now equipped with mood lighting!’ Since then, customers claim they can see strange colors glowing in the bathroom mirrors. Since then, locals say if you visit late at night and flush the toilet exactly three times while humming ‘Happy Birthday,’ the mirror will turn neon pink for five seconds. A delivery driver swears he once saw his reflection waving back—though some might argue it was just his imagination playing tricks on him after eating too many of their famous chili cheese fries.
2. At Buc-ee’s, a delivery driver once noticed something strange when he pulled up for gas. ‘Did you see that?’ he exclaimed to no one in particular. ‘Every time I fill my tank here, my truck starts playing country music!’ Curious, he filled his tank again and sure enough—country tunes started blaring from his speakers. Turns out, an old timer down the road had rigged up a hidden speaker system to entertain everyone stopping by. Since then, Buc-ee’s has become known as the place where trucks dance while they gas up.
3. At Buc-ee’s one morning, a delivery driver asked the cashier, ‘Did you see that squirrel?’ The cashier replied, ‘Which one? We’ve got dozens of them!’ Suddenly, the cashier pointed towards an old oak tree and said, ‘Oh, you mean that gray guy up there? He’s been hanging around for weeks now.’ The delivery driver looked up and saw a big, furry squirrel waving its bushy tail. With a smile, he shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll check the ceiling before asking!’
4. At Buc-ee’s, a delivery driver once watched in amusement as a little girl pointed excitedly at the giant gator statue outside. When she saw it move ever so slightly, her eyes widened and she whispered, ‘It blinked!’ As he chuckled, another customer—a regular—leaned over and whispered, ‘That’s not just any old gator, that’s Buck-Eye, our resident statue who likes to surprise visitors.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, while Buck-Eye lazily opened one eye again, as if confirming the story was true after all.
