People were lined up outside the travel center and they say shopping at Buc-ee’s is a lifestyle.
“The Buc-ee’s lifestyle is all about the brisket. It’s all about those sandwiches. It’s all about the kolaches,” said April Grotzinger. “They have this frozen case where they have whole chickens stuffed with jambalaya.”
Some people Channel 9 spoke with said they got in line around 11 p.m. Sunday.
