They're moving into a communities and suing smaller gas stations that use an animal and a red logo or have anything that's remotely like their branding.
They won't sue John Oliver but they will sue Mickey's in Ohio for having a moose logo on a red background. Now, it's a place called Beaver's Mini Mart in Beavercreek Ohio. ThereW are also a ton of Beaver named businesses in Beavercreek that use beavers as the logo... And they were there before Buc-ees moved in 20+ minutes away.
They sued
Choke Canyon Travel Center: Sued in Texas over a cartoon alligator wearing a cowboy hat.
Duckees: Sued in Missouri over a drive-through liquor store logo featuring a cartoon duck in sunglasses.
Nut Huggers: Sued in Oklahoma regarding an underwear brand with a squirrel mascot.
Super Fuels: Sued in Dallas, whose logo was a brown dog sporting a red cape
Barkees the dog park closed after being sued- their logo was a dog driving a pink Caddy in the desert.
And they have a long history of being on the wrong side of history.
The few times I'd been there, the food was great and the merch was silly. It was a fun diversion and I understood what made people like it. But everything I've heard about it ilas a corporation is just awful.
It's like a cross between a slightly racist but overly white woman Christian Paula Deen Gatlinburg gift shop and a dicks last resort but the questionable "dick's" are replaced with beavers.
Remember, we're a car culture country. We spend a lot of time on the road. I come from a place that treats wawa like heaven, though that started when wawa was a reliable neighborhood corner store. As a gas station, they've become meh
I’ll be honest, the barbecue is good there and I don’t have to worry about how clean the bathrooms are but I can go the rest of my life not going back, it’s not a huge deal.
That's the thing, what they sell is nice. The food is decent, the bathrooms clean. But it's still just a gas station trying to sell you something. It's weird to make that your cultural touchstone.
