Gettin’ Buc-ees in Kentucky

quote:

The unique Texas-based gas station and convenience store welcomed customers and other members of its fanatic fanbase for the first time Tuesday morning at its new store in Richmond, the company's first location in Kentucky.

Doors opened at 6 a.m., with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with remarks from local leaders set for 11 a.m. Plans to open the massive gas station and convenience store in Richmond, the home of Eastern Kentucky University, were first announced last spring, with crews breaking ground that April. It took about a year for crews to complete work on the site, just south of the town's center along Interstate 75.


quote:

Buc-ee's is building a presence in Kentucky outside of Richmond as well, with plans in the works to open new stores further west in Smiths Grove and Oak Grove as well.


Way to go Louisiana.

Side note:

Anyone else notice that the founder of Buc-ees looks a lot like Big Daddy from Django unchained?

Remember that time Louisiana was supposed to get a Buc-ees and every politician in the state wanted their pockets lined so they skipped over us?

Definitely seems like they’re pulling a “Little Big Horn” play to try to get LA politicians to cave.

Hopefully Bucee’s doesn’t fly too close to the sun expanding too fast. They are exploding right now.

Yep, about 40 miles from me. We are going to make a trip down there this weekend.

Saw on the local news, people were lined up like it was black Friday this morning for the opening.

I have it on good authority that a Buc-ee's will be built at the Juban Crossing exit on I-12. Opening date is February 30, 2023.

IMO, you might want to wait a month or two as that place will be insane, bonkers, and out of F'kn control. Buccees on a normal day is crazy, during a Grand Opening it will be off the charts chaotic.
