Tenthly, Iowa sucks
Buc-ee's to Gretna

Is that the exit with all the shopping on the north side of the Interstate? If it is that is where I get off and drive a mile or two north to a Runza when I fly into Omaha from Seattle on my way down to Lincoln. The flight gets in mid-afternoon, and I am always hungry by the time the plane lands.
Yes it is. When you get off the exit with the outlets, the runza is up ahead on the left. They’ve really developed that area from when I was last living there in 2021. I was very impressed when I swung by in October for the USC game.
On I-25 between Greeley and Loveland.
Also trying to locate one south of the Denver metro, but it's running into a lot of resistance.
In fairness, Texas has by far the most Michelin and James Beard award winning BBQ places in the country. And it's not even close.
You might be able to "get great BBQ" a small handful of other places one off here and there, but Texas has the mother load.
Yeah, they're very overrated. Fine as far as gas stations go, but it's a f*cking gas station. Never understood the cult following. I guess there are just a ton of simple people in this world who are super impressed by stuff like that.
Big trucks are not welcome at Buc-ees. Zero lizards.
I’ve only been one time (Austin, TX) but IT WAS AWESOME!! I didn’t think a gas station could be that awesome!I thought they would put one between Omaha and Lincoln eventually.
Buc-ee's planning to build its first Nebraska location
Buc-ee's, a popular mega gas station chain, is planning to build a location in the Omaha area.www.ketv.com
It's exit 432, the same exit to Nebraska Crossing, the Flying J Car/Truck stop (which will be adjacent to Buc-ees), the Holy Family Shrine, Highways 6 and 31, and Schram Park.
Not the appeal to me, but I understand it's gift/merchandise store also is very appealing to many women.
You honestly have to see it - saying it’s just a gas station is a wild take. They are awesome and I mentioned it before but their bathrooms are huge and are always spotless. It’s quite an operation.
I've been to several. As I said, it's great as far as gas stations go. But it's still a gas station.
So sad. That area has been destroyed by urban sprawl. The whole front range is being over run.
In the mid 60-s two or three guys at my dads work asked him to go in on 20 acres in the Old Mill area. He didn't, told my mom they were insane, Omaha would never grow that far west.In 1983 I passed on a chance to buy a 1200 square foot building on a large commercial lot (think it was over a acre)for 50K at the first intersection off of that exit. Wonder what’s on that now and what it would be worth today.
I think texas is best known for brisket, then I think it's kc, memphis and carolina for the rest of the bbq.
they say bbq started in florida with injuns..idk
I've never been to one myself but I've been told by several women friends who have that they love it and can spend a lot of money there. I think people are making a mistake if they think of it as just an ordinary gas station. I concluded that it has it's own unique personality, not for everyone but does have an almost cult-like following with some.
I've never been to a buc ees personally. I have a daughter that lives in Texas and she LOVES them. Have gotten several Christmas gifts from there over the years and my wife comments on how cool they are. Lots of different nic nak specialty items and great prices plus unique other products. Kinda looking forward to seeing it near gretna.
One would think it's only a matter of time until there's one in Lincoln. HOWEVER, Lincoln is controlled by a handful of power brokers and if they don't want it or are threatened by it, it won't happen

I have a cousin in Breckenridge, one in the country at the homeplace east of Parker, another in Calhan east of the Springs and my deceased cousin lived in Aurora so I haven't been north except for Boulder (Husker games) in years. My dad graduated from college in Greeley.
