why are people so obsessed with buckies
0:12
in the Smoky Mountains we're anxiously
0:15
awaiting the opening of buckies at the
0:17
407 exit we've heard fanciful Tales of
0:19
this new Travel Center the Guinness
0:21
World Record holding Nirvana promises
0:23
the cleanest restrooms a plethora of
0:25
fueling positions and Road snacks that
0:27
put other stations with higher gas
0:29
prices to shame honestly the promise of
0:31
a clean bathroom alone is a great enough
0:33
reason to stop so what's so great about
0:35
Bucky's the first thing you notice
0:37
approaching a Bucky store is the size
0:39
the campus is massive when they say
0:42
everything is bigger in Texas Bucky's
0:44
took that to heart and is now spreading
0:46
it around the country in addition to the
0:47
largest gas station Bucky's has a
0:49
Guinness world record for the longest
0:51
car wash in its Katy Texas location but
0:53
when traveling for the holidays expect a
0:55
big crowd the store resembles nothing
0:58
more than a cleaner better managed and
0:59
friendlier version of Walmart why are
1:02
people so obsessed with buckies Bucky's
1:04
has earned a reputation that goes far
1:05
beyond its shining urinal shaped beacon
1:08
on a hill friends instance each Bucky's
1:10
store is known for its customer service
1:12
this may be a result of the fact that
1:14
the world record holding chain pays far
1:16
above the typical minimum wage for the
1:18
region it serves what about the food and
1:21
the famous bathrooms the food mixed
1:24
reviews the barbecue was fine better
1:26
than you'd perhaps expect from a typical
1:28
gas station but not the religious
1:30
experience you'd expect from hearing
1:31
about it from some Bucky's acolytes the
1:34
beef jerky however was great as was the
1:36
peanut brittle the only drawback that we
1:38
found is getting in and out of Bucky's
1:40
especially with a large crew takes time
1:42
plus all the options for shopping and
1:45
dining don't lend themselves to a quick
1:46
in and out where's Bucky's located
1:48
currently Bucky's has locations in Texas
1:51
Alabama Georgia Florida South Carolina
1:54
and Tennessee and they're growing the
1:56
Sevierville location is expected to open
1:58
in the summer of 2023 once completed the
2:00
severe County location will be the
2:02
world's largest convenience store at 74
2:05
000 square feet the Travel Center will
2:07
be located on I-40 at exit 407 have you
