Wegmans milks are the best?!? Have you never been to Myers Dairy?
FC: Wawa announces 40 store expansion in Sheetz Central Pa Turf
- Thread starter Whart
- Start date
It’s a concept store so it’s really just a test case for what future offerings may look like. Similar to their kiosk-only store in Philly which they had to implement due to retail theft and worker safety. It will be interesting to see what the market will support.
Buc-ees is incredible. Several in Florida and more coming.
Gota love their pretzels. Lived in Philly a few years as a child. Never forgot the pretzels. lol
Only 2 in FL to my knowledge (Daytona and St. Augustine), with Fort Pierce coming soon.
Philadelphia area soft pretzels are excellent.
Alas, soft pretzels are one of the disappointments at Wawa.
My mother and sister just drove back up to PA. Stopped at Buc-ees in St Augustine. Said it was amazing but almost too big. Also said the food was very good.
Stopped at the one in Florence SC last year on way back from Savannah - never again what a sh&t show - couldn't even get to one of the 500 gas pumps and was hard just to get back on 95 - you would think you were at a Six Flags or something.
My youngest daughter was recruited by QT while in College. She accepted and has been with them for eight years….several promotions etc. QT Corp is very well run with excellent employe benefits….aggressive company match on savings and tuition plans. Having spent part of her early life in Eastern Pa and Avalon. NJ she is quite familiar with both Wawa and Sheetz. Like Wawa, QT is expanding quickly with over 1,000 locations so far.
Almost 130 pumps at the Buc-ee's in Sevierville, TN. Stopped there last summer on our way to Wyoming. Only problem was, parking is so crowded folks would get gas and not move their vehicle while they went into the Taj Mahal of convenience stores.
One coming to Mebane, NC - about 40 miles from my house. (For youse uneducated folks, that town is pronounced "Mebbin," not "Me-bane."
Were all the pumps being used? That is nuts to have that many pumps, or maybe not if the demand is there. Is it right off an Interstate? Crazy to think that many people go there for gas and some food.
Yes, all pumps were occupied and, yes, it sits off I-40. Buc-ee's is a quasi-religious experience. It's not "just" food - it is leventymillion types of BBQ, jerky, candy, etc., etc., etc. One does not simply stop at a Buc-ee's for gas and go - one must plan on devoting hours to tour and soak up the ambiance. And the restrooms are super-clean, too.
Which is why it took the Israelites 40 years to make it to the Promised Land from Egypt. A lot of sleeping off sugar-induced lethargy.
Yep. I live in Texas which is prime Bucee's territory, but the closest one to me isn't close at all. It's a place to stop on a road trip between cities whereas Wawa and Sheetz are usually right in the heart of their local communities. A trip to the closest Buccee's for me would be almost 2 hours round trip.
Meh, maybe by PA standards. It's OK, but I'd never refer to Bucce's BBQ as anything better than average by Texas standards.
ehhh I liked it. And also I lived in TX so i do know good bbq when I taste it. Is it the best? No I never said it was but its pretty good and its better than any fast food version.
Yeah the closest one to Fayetteville when I moved down here in ‘09 was at RDU. Nothing closer since. then in the last 2 years they’re popping up everywhere. They JUST built one at our exit off of 95 a month ago
Jelly Filled Krimpets were worth the forty years of wandering.
Come to the Triad - lots of Sheetz places up here.
I spent 3.5 years in the FayetteNam area quite a few years ago, Good times! Been back in the area a couple times, but not recently.
Wife would love to move closer to Raleigh, but we both work on Bragg and have no desire to deal with harnett county schools for our kids.
Good ol' Fort Bragg! I'm a Smoke Bomb Hill alumnus.
Yeah, educational choices are critical. Hope your kids are in a good place.
I’d like for there to be a Buckees (mega convenience store in the south) in PA. I think the closest may be Tennessee.
