Iconic Texas-based gas station, Buc-ee's, has become a thing of lore across the rest of the country.

So, when will Michigan get its first Buc-ee's location? Michigan has its fair share of fantastic gas stations.

Sheetz gas station are growing around Michigan like a pesky week on every corner. Why not a huge store on 8mile near the old State Fair grounds. Plenty of places Downriver.

Back in April, many in West Michigan started to wonder if Buc-ee's rumors that one would be popping up in the Mitten State soon after a billboard for the gas station chain went up near Lowell.

The billboard appeared in early spring 2024 along Interstate 96 between Grand Rapids and Lansing with a message that would be cryptic to those uninitiated to all things Buc-ee but very telling to those who know the buck-toothed rodent mascot.

Sadly, that billboard was just telling us what we already knew - Michigan doesn't have any of the stores. In fact, it pointed out that the closest location was 444 miles from the billboard - in Richmond, Kentucky.

There are also plans to build locations in Ohio (Huber Heights), Ohio of all places? Man that is harsh.

If there would be plans to build one in Michigan where would you build one?

Think off all the jobs for Michigan. 1,000s of new jobs for Michigan workers. C'mon Buc-ee's give us a try?
