Over the past month or so, I've heard whispers via the Ogle Mole Network that Buc-ee's – the beloved interstate travel stop chain that dots all of Texas and some of the Gulf Coast – may be acquiring land for an Oklahoma location soon, perhaps near RiverWind along I-35, or along the new turnpike that connects I-40 and I-44 in Eastern Oklahoma County.
Yes, it's a rumor – and yes, I have no clue if it's true – but just like any good hard-hitting Internet journalist looking to irritate Steve Lackmeyer, I've heard enough chatter to toss it out there. Plus, even if it is bullshit, maybe desperate reports like this will make Buc-ee’s feel sorry for us. I still think that's the only reason OKC got a Trader Joe's.
