Buc-ee's started in Texas in the 80s and has exploded across the country since the turn of the century. I remember a couple of trips to the coast when I was a teenager in the 90s and stopping at Buc-ee's there. They were just mere gas stations with some cool stuff in them at the time. We turn the calendar to the year 2000 and that's when plans started to expand the brand and build those giant pit stops that we know today. While no state will ever equal the number of stores in Texas, one state is becoming a hot spot for Buc-ee's, Kentucky.
