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.
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.
Louisiana was supposed to get a Buc-ee’s. What happened? 'We're focusing on other areas' | Business News | nola.com

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?

The biggest surprise in this thread is how many folks don't know what getting "rick rolled' means. lol
I stopped by the one in Denton on the way home from DFW and I gotta say, I was pretty impressed! I would always roll my eyes at people who would gush about this place because it just seemed silly to make a big deal about a gas station, but it's so much more than that! Their pulled pork and BBQ brisket sandwiches are no joke. Really delicious. I loved that they had just as many bucees brand items as they did name brand. The only negative, which isn't really a negative, was I was expecting it to be bigger on the inside than it actually was. It was big, but I was expecting bigger. Cool place!
Lawton actually had a Mooyah 5+ years ago, it was actually how I heard of Mooyah.
It didn’t too well and closed down. You can see pics of it on their Yelp page https://yelp.to/91XyhSkNTgb
The crazy part is, a Bucee's near Riverwind, right outside of Norman does make sense.
Tulsa had a Mooyah for a while, too. I went there at 7 or 8 years ago, but they are closed now.
Looks like Springfield, MO is getting a Buc-ees. Surprised Missouri is getting one before Oklahoma.

It's because that area is a major tourist destination between the Ozarks and Branson. Very strategic placement.
Or maybe Buc-ee's just has something against Oklahoma. Wouldn't be the first company, won't be the last.
Does seem weird, with 2 of the busiest interstates in America, not one in the state on either I-35 or I-40. Has to be something about Oklahoma. We fit every possible demo they could want.
Buc-ee's only has 6 locations outside the state of Texas: 2 in Florida, 2 in Georgia and 2 in Alabama.
Not having one (yet) in Oklahoma doesn't mean anything.
Any movement on the one by Riverwind?
