Hearing a rumor on FB of Bucc-ees coming to Norman near Riverwind Casino.

Not a bad place for one. Those brisket tacos are fire, if I remember right.

I hope this is true. Their chopped BBQ brisket sandwiches are better than most BBQ restaurant's.

That would be amazing. I wouldn’t have to drive almost to DFW anymore. I hope it’s true.

Sounds good, that would be a good spot for it.

That was so 6 months ago.

I live 5 miles from a new Buc-cees and don’t suspect I’ll ever go to it. I also don’t own a car, but I borrow my wife’s every month or so. I mean, it’s fine for a gas station, but what is actually above average? The kolaches, BBQ? It’s all pretty average. Just my opinion. I’m sure it’ll do well though.

Bucee's is awesome.

A lot of people feel that way. They’re very popular. To me, it’s a gas station trying to be Walmart.

It's a southern establishment, yes?

Agreed!

In order - Beef jerky, the bathrooms(!), wall of gummy treats, the bathrooms(!), beaver nuggers, BBQ, the bathrooms(!)

I wouldn't see myself using them just in town that often, but on family road trips they're a god send.

I agree. I use it on road trips through Texas but going there if in town? Eh. Maybe for some fudge :)

Their product quality is about 500% better than the average WalMart, including their gasoline, to say nothing of the fact that their site-prepared BBQ is ridiculously good for the environment in which it is sold. Not trying to compare it to a Clark Crew or any other dedicated BBQ restaurant, but watching them chop the beef and prepare each sandwich individually is a site to behold. Heck, it was the same for the breakfast sandwiches and other food items - prepared on site, some on order. That's not easy to do, and do as well as they do it, and it's a darned sight better than anything WalMart has ever attempted.


My wife went to Texas with a bunch of her friends about a year ago, stopping at a Buc-ee's along the way. I'd been whining to her about Buc-ee's for a long time and she kinda had the same attitude about it, meh, can't be that special - until she went there. I asked her if I oversold it, and she said, "nope, it's for real." It's now a standard stop for us en route to the Dallas area for OU-Texas.

Unlike QT or ON CUE, Buc-ee's gas is not Top Tier. Their gas is more like Murphy than the aforementioned gas outlets.

I've yet to see a Buc-ees that had a windshield washing station at each pump (wand, liquid, and paper towels). Since the vast majority of their business isn't local, I fail to understand why they chose to omit them? If I need gas, I will stop anywhere but there. I've been to the ones at TX Speedway, Madisonville, and Temple. No windshield cleaning stuff at any of them.

This would be a welcome addition as it would be on my way out of town to Texas, which I've done quite a bit over the years. Agreed though that it's not somewhere I would really go as a regular in-town visit. It's more of a road trip kind of place since food and bathroom options tend to be less than ideal for most other gas stations.

We love Buc-cee's ... we plan our refueling stops around their locations for our Galveston trips several times each year. For day-to-day needs, OnCue is my exclusive stop. On my travel needs through TX, Buc-cee's is my main stop.

I heard this rumor a couple of months ago, and was trying to verify it. But the McClain County Assessor's site is practically useless.

Okay, I’ll give y’all that they’re very clean and have good and interesting food *for a gas station*. I just don’t think they have that good of food for a non-gas station. They’re definitely better than most gas stations, lots of choices, and a bit of a novelty. I just don’t understand them personally as a destination in and of themselves.

If it was going to be located on Riverwind property it would not show up on the county assessor site.

I dare you to dig into a bag of beaver nuggets and see if you can stop digging before the bag is empty.

It's not going to be located on Riverwind property. The Chickasaws have their own gas station brand (CTS) that they would use if they were building a gas station.

I dare you to dig into a bag of beaver nuggets and see if you can stop digging before the bag is empty.When I do get to the DFW area I buy two bags. One for on the way home and one for later. I can’t stop once they’re open.

What are said beaver nuggets?

I bought my wife a 'Power to the Beaver' shirt years ago at the Buc-ee North of Houston.

Cheetos that taste like Cap'n Crunch.

The first time my wife went there, the person who took her recommended the beaver nuggets. The second time she went, she brought back a bag for each of her co-workers. They are addictive, although I still prefer their BBQ brisket sandwiches.

Both are addictive. As others have said the BBQ isn’t Clark Crew or such. But in it’s way it’s REALLY good.

That sounds... really bad.

Are you familiar with Kellogg's Corn Pops? They're that, coated in caramel.

I think they taste more like Corn Pops.

Beef Jerky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

They taste exactly like the cereal “Waffle Crisp”.

It’s beef jerky heaven. And I love beef jerky.

Anyone heard if they plan on building on the north side of OKc or Edmond? Maybe along I-35 or I-40?

Having a Buccees on the North side would be very dangerous for me. I can't get enough of their BBQ brisket sandwiches.

Since it's very much a travel stop, putting it south of Norman would make the most sense, but if one ended up by memorial I wouldn't be shocked.

I could maybe see something out by Yukon with the new Kirkpatrick and I-40 interchange but there is already a lot truck stops at Morgan road.

I very much doubt that OKC is anywhere in their plans. I'd fully expect to see them built out in the Southeast, California, Arizona, and Nevada before we see a single store here. It's a great store though.

Incredibly overrated.

Sure Holt, therefore, would love to have them here!!!!

I don't understand why. 2 of the biggest cross-country interstates go right through here.

This article identifies Florida, Georgia, and Alabama for future expansion. Oklahoma is not mentioned. Maybe they are only expanding to SEC states.
Another reason not to trust FB for news.

Classic fb rumor. This thread started over a year ago and still nothing in the press or the company website .
Shenanigans.
IMO Oklahoma will get a Mooyah before Bucees

LOL Of all the places they would put their first Oklahoma location it wouldn't be El Reno.

I've said it before and it's from an insider, Buc-ee's is definitely coming to the area of I-35 and Highway 9, South of Norman. They are just waiting on the State to announce/proceed with the redevelopment of that intersection.

Lots of dirt work at Waterloo and I 35, putting one on the west side would give On Cue a run for their money.

Are they waiting on what's going to happen with the Riverwind I-35 interchange.

Baton Rouge had been tabbed as a location when Buc-ees was expanding into new markets outside of Texas.
The plan however was cancelled. A company spokesman explained that when they expand they need a "critical mass of stores" for efficient resupply.
So for a store in Norman they will want more than just that one.

Not disputing this, but we have one here in Middle Georgia (just opened last year)... so far as I know, the only other GA store coming is about 2.5 hours north toward Chattanooga. There are a couple in Alabama and one in Daytona Beach, FL. The closest one of those is right at 4 hours away.

Has this been confirmed?
