It's been a big year for every Texan's favorite gas station. Not only did they fall from grace (and re-earn the top spot!) on a gas station bathroom poll, they also announced the location of their first-ever storefront outside of Texas. While we snacked on Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets all year and dreamed about the candy wall, here are the four best Buc-ee's things that happened in 2017.
Of course it wouldn't be a Buc-ee's list without one mention of just how delicious the beef jerky is. Seriously.
4. When Floridians learned they'd be getting a Buc-ee's
We collected responses from Floridians when they learned Buc-ee's would soon be coming to their state, and with two huge locations planned, the excitement was real.
3. When we figured out the one thing Buc-ee's was missing
