Another regional chain with a cult-like following is Casey’s from Iowa. I’m from Texas and also find Bucee’s stressful to visit. There are just too many cars and trucks and people!
I think Florida becomes a destination for so many regional brands because the vast majority of Florida’s population is from somewhere else.
A decade ago I would have voted for Sheetz, but then I discovered Maryland and Delaware's own Royal Farms, which to me is a chicken restaurant (a la my hometown favorite Bojangles), with a nice convenience store and cheap gas, but only the gas is the most dependable, based on the neighborhood. As always, a lot of interesting quality of life nuggets!
