When you've got HEB, the Buc-ee's coolers are kinda "meh" in comparison. And their home decor section is just an overpriced miniature Walmart without a single beaver on anything.

As for the kolaches: go to Kolache Factory or visit West, Texas and tell me you can ever eat another kolache anywhere else.

Oh, I'm very familiar with the Czech Shop and Slovacek's. When my brother lived over by Round Rock and we used to play up in Deep Ellum. We'd stop every time on the way and load up. But I'm not driving almost 3 hours for them when I've got reasonable knock offs nearby.

It's the same reason I'll get Barbecue sandwiches there. I've got a bunch of good places actually nearby. However, if I'm on the road I'm guaranteed to get a minimum quality sandwich that's pretty alright on top of clean bathrooms.

But I 100% agree about the Kodi coolers. We've also got the RTIC store over here if you wanna get fancy.

I've been trying to get people to put a beaver on Buc-ees home decor for years. But that's not a conversation for polite company.

I fucking loooove my RTIC half-gallon jug! I suck down and refill that shit more times in a day than a burned-out parent at SeaWorld with a novelty cup
