A betrayal like no other from a beaver who just cant get enough.
Buc-ee's is building the world's largest convenience store, not at all a shock for a chain that built its name on Walmart-sized gas stations where you can get Dippin' Dots and home decor under the same roof.
But it wont be in Texas.
Buc-ee's upcoming location in Sevierville, Tennessee will break the record already held by Buc-ee's with a 74,000-square-foot travel center, ABC 6's Gregory Raucoules reports.

But then this is another reason to avoid Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge-Sevierville traffic jam, isn't it.

(32,354 posts)I think not, not even in a joking sense. Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick pull off multiple, painful, for-real betrayals against Texans, every single week.
