• Rural towns have shelled out millions of dollars in tax benefits and other incentives to attract Buc-ee’s gas stations in the hopes of lifting wages and the local tax base. Consumers rave about its barbecue, ample fuel pumps and EV chargers, and its award from Cintas for the cleanest restrooms in America. 

Small towns across America are desperate for their own Buc-ee's mega gas stations and some are willing to shell out millions to attract the chain and its possible economic development boost.
