    Beaver Aplin built the quirky convenience chain into a Texas empire. Will his tactics translate outside the state?

      We used to ride our bikes to the first one, the original when we were kids. Who knew it would blow up like it did? Great business mind!

                  Also sues most of the contractors that work for him.

                  I'm not one of them and never will be, but know many that were ruined afterwards.

                      Interesting.. Not doubting you but,
                      Being from his home county and my family being in the construction and real estate business for 30+ years I'm very surprised that I have never once heard this...

                        Genius idea. I always fill up at the original store or pick up small fishing gear at the Surfside location. Funny how all of the stores inside Brazoria County are nothing like the "travel centers", but he's targeting a totally different demographic too.

                          I don’t suppose his 325k donation to Abbott had anything to do with his appointment to the tpw commission

                            Yep, it is a little different being from Lake Jackson. Buccees was just normal. It was different hearing "outsiders" talk about it in such awe once I left and moved away.

                            The "weirdest" moment was when people came back from a road trip and called it "Boo-sees".... I tried to correct them but they didn't believe me
