Twitchy readers should be familiar with Buc-ee’s. It’s more than just a gas station, despite what its critics may say. For fans, it’s a family-friendly oasis of fuel, food, and clean restrooms between blue cities on our nation’s long highways. Its CEO is conservative, and he’s made that abundantly clear with his latest plans for Buc-ee’s.
Here’s more. (READ)
WOW! Liberals are threatening to BOYCOTT Buc-ee's after the CEO said he's focused on building in "conservative" states with a business-friendly environment, instead of leftist jurisdictions
"Life's too short to try to build in places where people don't appreciate what you're bringing!"
HE'S RIGHT Democrats just hate the truth!
"We have a lot of opportunities...when you find a conservative, business-friendly state...it makes a difference."
Far-leftists have responded exactly as one would expect. But first, here’s the Buc-ee’s CEO laying out his future business plans. (WATCH)

I bet liberals hated Buc-ee’s anyway

Feels too much like America when you’re there
Buc-ee’s clearly has a pro-America, conservative bent if you’ve ever stepped inside one.
Crazy leftists misinterpreted what the Buc-ee’s CEO said and are now calling for boycotts. It’s pretty clear the following one has never been inside a Buc-ee’s or is flat out lying about her experience. Check out her video rant and later comments. (WATCH)

The owner & CEO of Buc-ee’s Travel Centers Arch “Beaver” Aplin III is a Republican & he’s making it known that he doesn’t want the business of Democrats/Liberals by saying that he likes the leadership in Red States & they offer business friendly & family oriented values.

Conservatives realizing they won’t be needing a Buc-ee’s employee to unlock the beef jerky from a bulletproof glass cabinet anytime soon. pic.twitter.com/NUrHsgzO1V

Yes, liberals and leftists, drive right on by. Pay 10 + cents more per gallon for fuel after waiting for a pump that may or may not work. Enjoy the sandwiches made the previous week, about the same time as the bathrooms were cleaned, and probably by the same people.

A lack of leftists on the property is actually a huge selling point for sane people.
Let the misinformation commence!
I went on it once for gas and to use the restroom and it sucked.

Me either í stopped one time to get gas and use the restroom and it smelled weird and the brisket was right by the bathroom.
— Suzie rizzio (@Suzierizzo1) August 30, 2026
The station where they prepare the brisket sandwiches is not by the restrooms. Any weird smells must be her noticing her own stench inside the clean confines of Buc-ee’s.
Here’s even more leftist lies. Buc-ee’s famously posts a sign inside the store explaining its wages and job benefits.
He likes paying his employees s*** in those states with minimum wages of $7.25.

Exactly because they won’t put up a fight.

Yes, two lying idiots.
Buc-ee’s has already taken measures to keep most visibly leftist people from working there. Smart beaver!
@grok Didn't they also say that people with visible tattoos are ineligible to apply for work?
— John Noble (@JPNVZEVT) August 31, 2026
Yes. Buc-ee's official careers page states store employees are not allowed to have visible tattoos (or body piercings, unnatural hair color, etc.). They can still apply and get hired if tattoos are fully covered by clothing, bandages, or makeup while working. Face/neck/hand ones are effectively barred. Policy has been longstanding.

A boycott implies to cease purchasing or employing the services from the targeted business. Having visited Buc-ee's a couple of times, I seriously doubt many liberals patronize said establishment.

In other words, the outrage will remain a talking point on bluesky. pic.twitter.com/H7NlDuLRn1
Yep, you can’t really boycott something you never frequented in the first place. But we do appreciate crazy people vowing to keep away from Buc-ee’s and allowing it to remain a beloved leftist-free roadside destination and experience.
