That's just a skip down 81 from my house (I'm between Harrisonburg and Strasburg). The first week it opened was apparently nuts there - people coming from hours away just to go to the new Buc-ee's.

My son has sensory issues and feels overwhelmed in there. So when we’re there, we use the bathroom and then leave the building immediately.

Buc-ee's SUCKS.
I HATE BUC-EE's.
On our last road trip across texas 2 weeks ago. There was stop and go traffic on i-10 for 35 miles as you were leaving san antonio. This is an interstate with a 75 mph speed limit, but we were stuck going 50mph, then dead stop, then 50 mph, then dead stop. FOR 35 FREAKING MILES.
Then we passed the buc-ee's that was so crowded the offramp was backed up for 2 miles.
Then traffic sped up to normal 75 mph hour.
That stupid super buc-ee's added 30 minutes to our 10 hour road trip and we didnt even stop there.
I hate Buc-ee's, screw them, we need to stop these super stores on the highway.

I also have a love-hate relationship with it. 2 yrs ago, my group decided drive back from New Orl to Orlando via I-10. In the middle of nowhere Alabama, there is a Buc-ees right off the interstate. Very busy, but we had no problem getting into the parking lot.
However, when we decided to leave….it took us 45 mins to get OUT of the parking lot.
it was like trying to leave a concert or 
game.
I still have PTSD from that.

There's a pretty good fight going on in Palmer Lake, CO on whether or not to build a Buc-ees and annex the land into the town. The town has 2,500 residents and the Buc-ees is supposed to be a 74,000-square-foot store with 60 gas pumps, 800 parking spaces, open 24 hours a day, which will generate up to 11,000 trips a day, so it's easy to see why people are upset.

I’ve been to one off of I-10 in TX and one off of I-40 in TN. The one in Texas was getting replaced with a bigger store and while we went inside for the bathrooms and some food the line for fuel was so long that I went to a different gas station for that. The one in Tennessee I had no issues getting the gas, but inside was a bit crazy.
The bathrooms are nice and clean and the food is decent, so I have a pretty positive opinion overall and would use them again on any long trip where they were convenient. That said, I don’t understand the cult following they have at all. It’s a nice chain but not any sort of game changer imo.

Is this the Leeds location off I-20?I also have a love-hate relationship with it. 2 yrs ago, my group decided drive back from New Orl to Orlando via I-10. In the middle of nowhere Alabama, there is a Buc-ees right off the interstate. Very busy, but we had no problem getting into the parking lot.

I think he's referring to the one just east of Mobile on I-10. It's always a complete cluster****.Is this the Leeds location off I-20?I also have a love-hate relationship with it. 2 yrs ago, my group decided drive back from New Orl to Orlando via I-10.

Big fan of Bucees. Buts it’s an acquired taste.
There is one just north of Bowling Green which is conveniently located so that I have enough gas to get to Nashville and back as far as Bowling Green on a tank of gas - so it’s a convenient place to stop for gas. First time we went in - and it was sensory overload and I swore never to go back in. But the price of gas is outstanding- so we kept stopping.
Eventually I discovered the brisket- and now I’ll stop and grab 2 or 3 sandwiches to take home when I stop.
I am looking forward to the newest one near Harrisonburg - our older daughter is at JMU, so it will be a great place to stop for gas and sandwiches on those trips now too.

What’s the party where everyone brings a gag gift? Might as well bring a Buc-ee’s T-shirt
