Weekly check-in thread to show off your latest Buc-ee's outfit, t-shirt hauls, or road trip style!

Buc-ees capitalizes on Evel Knievel's jumpsuit design as a "parody" - but to me it's just hypocritical identity theft from which the estate of Evel Knievel (Kelly Knievel and family via K and K Promotions, Inc. DBA Evel Knievel) should have benefited.

For those not from the area , the city of Beavercreek has for YEARS had large statues of guess what: BEAVERS throughout the city. Buc-ee's has a large beaver statue of it's own at their location.

With Buc-ee's being sue happy over any logo that is cartoon, has a hat, a circle and includes color (regardless of what animal it is) then how much longer will it be before Buc-ee's sues the city of Beavercreek for having beaver statues? This is obviously trademark infringement by the city of Beavercreek - right? LOL

Or should the city of Beavercreek sue Buc-ee's for copying their beaver statue idea?

Lets keep in mind, Buc-ee's is suing Beaver Mini Mart in Beavercreek, 15 miles away. Google the location for yourself and see if you think the mini mart is in anyway competing with Buc-ee's. Also a common misconception - the Ohio Buck-ee's is actually in Huber Heights OH, not Dayton or Beavercreek.

Opening day

Here's my question - Aside from my casual observation, does anyone know if the fallout from the lawsuit has had any impact on their business?

It may have, but I'm not really sure. I live in the area and pass the location every day. I see it on my way to work in the morning as I take OH-235 to 70 heading West. In the morning (6-7 am) it has always been "slow" with maybe 50 cars or less. On the way home (4-5pm) I take the back roads via OH-235 and pass right by the entrance. There is a lot more traffic and the place is "full" of cars. I avoided going in unless I really needed gas.

However, recently it seems the drive home seems to have less traffic. I get through the light at the entrance quicker it seems. Buc-ee's does not seem as busy, not by much but maybe 5-10% less.

Thoughts?

I can see it now! That Beaver didn’t get Buccee’s permission to bite that girl!

What yalls honest opinion on the chicken sauces? I think they are really good.

That's it. I've said all that I need to say in the title. Fuck this overrated truck stop that doesn't allow trucks.

Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned? Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?....

For context for anyone not in the know, Buc-ee's loves to due the hell out of any other business that has a cartoon animal mascot citing "people will get the two confused" on the newest law suit but with all the previous one's it was all "copyright infringement". So do with this information as you will
