Did Buc-ee's Make a Big Faux Pas With New Bucky the Beaver?
The claws are out as statue makeover at new Luling, Texas, travel center draws ire of fans
www.cspdailynews.comHere’s the latest you can act on now.
- Buc-ee’s expansion continues into new states with multiple openings planned through 2026–2027, including new locations in Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia, Texas, Arizona, and North Carolina, with several openings expected this year and next.[1][3][7]
- In late 2025 and into 2026, coverage highlighted additional store openings and planned projects in various states, signaling ongoing nationwide growth for the chain.[3][1]
Notes on context and credibility:
- Buc-ee’s has consistently marketed its large-format travel centers with extensive food options and clean facilities, a branding angle that underpins its expansion strategy.[1]
- Recent coverage also notes mixed reception in some communities to new Buc-ee’s projects, a common theme for large‑scale interstate developments, though the brand remains popular among many travelers.[6][3]
