About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Buc-ee’s, customers often notice an unusual phenomenon late at night. A delivery driver once reported seeing a small, furry creature darting between cars in the parking lot. ‘It looked like a raccoon,’ he said, ‘but it acted strangely—running towards the gas pumps instead of away from them.’ Curious, the driver followed the critter with his flashlight and found it was heading straight for one particular pump. Turns out, someone had left a bag of freshly baked cookies inside—a neighborhood tradition at Buc-ee’s on Sundays. The little rascal must’ve been a local fan too!
2. At Buc-ee’s, after dark, something strange begins to happen. Late one evening, a little boy noticed that the store’s giant gator statue seemed to be watching him intently from across the parking lot. The boy approached cautiously and realized the gator’s eyes were just reflective surfaces catching streetlights. But before he could laugh it off, an old delivery driver walked out of the store and said, ‘Hey, kid—you’re blocking my view!’
3. At Buc-ee’s, people sometimes wonder if the gas pumps are talking to each other. One morning, a regular noticed that the prices seemed to change in sync with no human intervention. A delivery driver once claimed he saw one pump lean slightly toward another before adjusting its price. A regular later joked, ‘Maybe they’re voting on who can charge more!’ But everyone agreed it was just good ol’ Texas humor—until the next day when both pumps had matching prices again.
4. At Buc-ee’s, early morning shoppers often catch a glimpse of a mysterious figure in the parking lot. One foggy dawn, a regular noticed someone waving from behind the giant crawfish statue. The regular waved back and saw the figure jogging towards them—only for it to turn out be a delivery driver with a coffee thermos. ‘Morning!’ he said cheerfully. ‘Thought you were some kinda ghost or something.’ Everyone had a good laugh, and the legend of Buc-ee’s ghostly crawdad-waver was born—except it wasn’t a ghost after all.
