Fairy tales can come true. That has been an unsubstaniated rumor for quite sometime. Who owns that land at present?

Riverwind purchased it in 2016. So it's not going to be a Buc-ees. If a gas station is ever built there, it would likely be under the Chickasaw Travel Stop brand. But I believe it's intended to be used for Riverwind expansion, possibly a parking garage or a new theater to replace the current one, both of which are things I've heard bandied around that Riverwind wants. (But then again they've been wanting those since 2009 so I have no idea if they're ever going to happen.)

I'm not sure where the rumor that Goldsby was getting a Buc-ees came from, but it needs to die because every time I've dug into it I have found absolutely nothing to substantiate it (as someone who grew up in Goldsby I would be pleased if it happened, but there's just nothing there indicating it's more than a wild fantasy).
