A Gingerbread Buc-ee's

Our gingerbread house takes the cake this National Gingerbread Day! Deanna with the Tax Office really topped herself this year with her Gingerbread @bucees. You can see her creation at the tax office location in Georgetown, 904 S. Main St. pic.twitter.com/4TYiM9mhpx

Buc-ee's is a chain of roadside convenience and hunting supply stores. We Texans regard them as the ultimate place to stop on road trips for gas, food, and sparklingly clean bathrooms. There is devout brand loyalty to the chain and people commonly sport clothing with the iconic Bucky the Beaver logo on them.

Deanna Vaters, an employee of the county north of Austin (where Buc-ee's locations are thick on the ground) and her husband made this gingerbread model of a nearby Buc-ee's complete with model cars and lights. They made many of the human figurines to resemble her co-workers.

Only a Texan would look at Buc-ee's as a hunting supply store. Methinks the inventory may vary according to location.

Buc-ee's knows its customers. Women want to stop there because of the restrooms - always clean, with an attendant, and huge - no waiting. Men want to stop there because of the huge number of gas pumps, the hunting supplies, and plethora of food. Kids want to stop there because of the huge selection of junk food and 'neat' things to look at, toys, and trinkets. Something for everyone. They do know how to pick your pocket, and it is easy to spend $100 a stop, not including gas. I have been in the world's largest Buc-ee's, and their billboards are everywhere on the major highways, with pithy messages such as '70 miles - you can hold it'.
