They may have a corner on the market in a place like DFW but they certainly don't in the OKC metro. Yeah, it'd be a big undertaking but it can certainly be done. I watched a little doc on youtube about Buc-ees and the owner talked about when he first decided to do a big store. They weren't certain about. Buc-ees hasn't always been huge stores. It was a risk.
Buc-ees’ first stores were in and around Lake Jackson, TX, in the early ‘80’s, where I lived for many years. They were standard convenience stores with a few gas pumps. Their first prepared food offering was breakfast tacos provided by a local vendor, which were delicious by the way. It took about ten years before the business took off and the large stores followed shorty thereafter. It is named Buc-ees after the founder, whose nickname is Beaver.
