About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights of Buc-ee’s were the only ones glowing on the highway, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every time he stopped for gas, an old man in a plaid shirt appeared from nowhere and offered him freshly baked cookies. The driver never saw anyone else around, but the cookies always tasted different each visit. Finally curious, the driver followed the old man one night. They ended up at a hidden picnic bench under a lone oak tree. There, amidst the moonlight, sat a grinning neighbor with his dog, sharing those same mysterious cookies. ‘Just thought you deserved a break,’ said the neighbor, wiping cookie crumbs off his plaid shirt.

2. At night, when the lights of Buc-ee’s were the only ones glowing on the highway, a little boy named Timmy insisted that the giant smiling fish sign was waving back at him. His mom laughed it off until she noticed other cars slowing down too. Soon enough, everyone in the carpool lane was staring at the fish. A delivery driver leaned over and whispered, ‘It’s just the wind.’ But as they pulled up to the pumps, an elderly lady from behind said, “I’ve seen that fish wave before.” Mom turned to Timmy with a smile: “Next time you see it move, I’ll buy you ice cream!” And ever since then, whenever anyone asked if Buc-ee’s fish waved, Timmy would proudly reply, ‘Absolutely!’

3. At night, when the lights of Buc-ee’s were the only ones glowing on the highway, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every few minutes, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the store. Curious, he slowed down and peered through the window. Inside, in the dimly lit aisle, he saw a small pink fluffy creature giggling as it placed colorful stickers on boxes of gourmet jelly beans. The next morning, everyone at the warehouse office had a good laugh—until they realized it was just Buc-ee’s mascot, reminding them that even roadside stops can be magical.

4. At night, when the neon sign of Buc-ee’s flickered like a distant lighthouse, a delivery driver swore he heard laughter coming from inside an empty tanker truck. Curious, the driver approached the truck and found only a small stuffed gator smiling back at him. ‘Guess I’m not cut out for late-night deliveries,’ he muttered, shaking his head and heading back to Buc-ee’s for some coffee.
