The Super Fan

This Buc-ee's lover is the most well-versed of them all. They've been to at least four or more locations across the southern United States and have the merchandise to show for it. If they're on a road trip, they'll go out of their way to stop at the iconic gas station and general store combo.

This person owns at least one piece of Buc-ee's clothing and proudly wears it in their day-to-day life.

The Swag Hoarder

Anyone who's ever stepped inside a Buc-ee's knows that the shelves are overflowing with branded goodies, from bathing suits and magnets to tumblers and pajamas. This person could probably furnish a small Buc-ee's store with the amount of swag they've picked up from the chain over the years.

This person has to pick up something small every time they make a pit stop. They could always use another baseball cap or another stuffed animal.

The Road Tripper

Buc-ee's is primarily known as a superstore gas station and one of the most beloved road trip pit stops in the U.S. due in part to having some of the cleanest bathrooms in the country. In 2012, a Buc-ee's location even won "Best Restroom in America."

This person might not spend hours wandering the Buc-ee's aisles, but they make sure to stop at the closest location whenever they need a bathroom break.

The Buc-ee the Beaver Fanatic

Buc-ee the Beaver, the gas station chain's beloved mascot whose toothsome face appears on nearly every sign, billboard, and piece of Buc-ee's merchandise, definitely has some fans of its own.

This person owns at least one if not multiple stuffed Buc-ee the Beavers and clothing items. They might even have a bumper sticker of the beaver on their car. We wouldn't put it past them.

The Bathroom Hog

Buc-ee's famously well-kept bathrooms draw their own sector of fans. Always well-stocked and well-maintained, some stores have upwards of 50 to 80 bathroom stalls.

Bathroom Hogs will go out of their way to stop at a Buc-ee's just for the pleasant bathroom experience — and not just during road trips. They probably stop there for the well-kept stalls several times a week.

The Meat Lover

One of Buc-ees' most popular attractions is its " Texas Round-Up" brisket station, where employees make and serve fresh brisket, turkey, sausage, and pulled pork to hungry travelers who show up with empty stomachs.

Unsurprisingly, the Meat Lover shopper comes by their local Buc-ees just to pick something up to eat. Whether you're heading into work and need to pick up a lunch or leaving at the end of a long day, the sandwiches are the perfect hearty grab-and-go meal.

The Snack Hoarder

From beef jerky to the beloved caramel Beaver Nuggets, Buc-ee's is a household name when it comes to snacks, and some fans go as far as to solely shop for these items at their local Buc-ee's location.

Whether they're going on a road trip or simply stocking up for the week, the Snack Hoarder always remembers to pick up fudge, kolaches, beef jerky, chips, pastries, and, of course, brisket.

The Gas Guzzler

We can't forget the fact that Buc-ee's, besides being a national treasure, is an actual functioning gas station with dozens of gas pumps at every location. Allegedly, Buc-ee's gas prices are so good they don't even bother advertising them on signs outside.

The Gas Guzzler refuses to get gas anywhere else, and they always stop inside for a snack.

Bottom Line
