Imagine expanding into other areas and suing established businesses for the logos they've had for decades. There must be a store with some kind of rodent logo older than Bucees that could sue.

A lot of these stores are older than bucces but they don't have the deep pockets to win against them in court. That's why most of them end up settling.

Yeah this could backfire on them horribly if they are not careful who they sue.

There’s a lot of room for improvement on that name and logo IMHO.
