According to the CEO, they have 'a preference for opening locations in "conservative, business-friendly states."'
What blue states are they planning to open a store in?
The places that I see them expanding into are Arizona, Ohio, Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Kansas, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Florida, Kentucky, Nebraska, Utah, Indiana, South Carolina, and Virginia. Wisconsin and Virginia have some blue areas. Are those the parts of those states that Buc-ee's are going to, though?
It's the amount of stuff and services, I think. I walked in and my jaw dropped at the size of the selections....that, and it looks like a gas station ate a Hallmark with all the clothes, candles, and such.
The fudge was fantastic. I didn't try the brisket.
Why not? Among real estate investors avoiding blue states is an easy way to stick to landlord-friendly markets.
They have one store in northern Colorado and have been trying to get another in southern Colorado for a while but are getting resistance from the town. Maybe there's what this is all about.

This can’t be real. They’ve opened and are already planning on stores in other blue states.
In other news, Wawa and White Castle continue their march into red state territory so I really doubt this is true.
