Woo hoo I’m already obsessed…who’s joins me on a road trip to the new Buccee’s we drive past the largest one in the world in Luling Texas we’re definitely stopping on our way back x
Arizona residents are currently trying to process the possibility that a Buc-ee’s could eventually arrive in the state, and officials say the excitement level has already reached "slightly concerning" levels. 🌵⛽😭
For years, Arizona road trips have operated under a simple system:
• Drive for 3 hours through the desert
• Stop at a random gas station
• Buy questionable beef jerky
• Continue driving another 3 hours
• Repeat until destination achieved
But the moment Arizonans hear the words "Buc-ee’s coming to Arizona," the entire state enters a planning phase usually reserved for major infrastructure projects.
People are already imagining:
• Fresh brisket at 2 AM on I-10
• Enough snacks to survive crossing the Sonoran Desert twice
• Clean restrooms that become a tourist attraction
• Entire families accidentally spending $300 on jerky, fudge, candles, and things they never intended to buy
Meanwhile Arizona drivers are looking at the map like:
Phoenix ✔️
Tucson ✔️
Flagstaff ✔️
Yuma ✔️
Buc-ee’s ✔️
Road trip complete.
Experts warn that if a Buc-ee’s ever opens between Phoenix and Flagstaff, there is a real possibility that half the state will suddenly decide they "needed a quick drive" that day.
Because in Arizona, the destination was never the point.
The real adventure is finding air conditioning, snacks, and enough caffeine to survive another 200 miles of desert highway. 🌵🚗💀
