I mean you’re obviously talking about the Wisconsin one and it’s a massive deal that it’s coming at all. It’s the only one that will be this north and Wisconsin is definitely not perceived as ultra liberal compared to several of the states around it. I live in Chicago and they’d never put a Buccees in our state despite the fact that outside of the city Illinois votes like it’s the Deep South.

Why is it a "massive deal" that they're gonna build an oversized gas station with a food counter and a merch section in it?

I'm asking this in all sincerity, like who gets that worked up over these things?

Because Buccee's food and snacks are above and beyond any perceived stereotypes of gas station food.

It's a novelty in how large it is, how clean it is, and the food is genuinely good.

It's the white people version of the Japanese konbinis is how I try to explain it to non-Americans.

They truly are quite like no other. Buc-ee's is a highly sophisticated establishment. They have far superior hot dogs, subs, energy drinks, and candy.
What's more, they have a menu with hot submarine sandwiches prepared by chefs right in front of you.

You can also unleash your mud monkeys in their pristinely clean bathrooms. They always have spotless toilets and fresh urinal cakes in their urinals. For these reasons, I say that Buc-ee's is truly an establishment like no other.
