I want to see Buc-ee's and the fast food chain Cookout go international. That's authentic American food, and it's pretty damn tasty.

I couldn't imagine a Buc-ee's in Europe.

In Texas there are signs for "Next Buc-ee's 108 miles". Do that in parts of Europe and you have to cross multiple international borders...and none of them will know wtf a mile is.

The heart wants what it wants. We cannot decide for it.

Even better, they should still be directing to the ones in Texas.

Next Buc-ee’s in 4,181 nautical miles.

there's one in Jersey that's 580 miles away

There is? I just searched Google maps...I live in MA and it showed a response on Cape but it was actually a "Bucky's". It showed one in New Jersey but that was a podunk little place named Delta Gas.

Northernest ones I saw were in Kentucky. There were closer ones to Europe...probably Florence SC, Pelham NC, or Daytona FL.

I mean there's a sign in NJ saying the nearest one is 500 miles away

An hour driving is not "next". Yes, i'm europe.

As an ignorant American, does Europe even have billboards like America does?

For context...Buc-ee's takes pride in their exceptionally clean restrooms. Also idk if gross rest stop/truck stop restrooms are as much of a trope over there.

At least not here (Switzerland).

More in public restrooms. Bigger train stations have "Mr. Clean" since a few years now, clean and nice for 1.50 CHF. Not like the same service would make train billets much more expensive but anyway.

But rest stops, we have as much as villages; all few km the next one.

Try two hours. Your doing a bit mile every 40s.
