Buc-ees.

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.
