According to WCNC, one winner of their choosing will be tasked with visiting 5 Buc-ee’s locations across the U.S., rating their snacks, bathrooms and more. I was born for this job. Here’s how it works.
To be eligible for the Buc-ee’s Summer Road Trip Challenge, you must be a resident of the U.S., at least 18 years old. Of course, those affiliated with Buc-ee’s in any way are not allowed to participate. And, if this idea appeals to you, simply submit a short application that includes your travel experience, content creation skills and your pitch as to why you’re a good candidate.
The Buc-ee’s Summer Road Trip Challenge must take take place by the end of 2024. And, applications are due by July 31 at 10:59 p.m. central time. After all, Buc-ee’s is a Texas based chain.

The challenge asks the winner to purchase food at each of the 5 locations. Compare quality and prices of Beaver Nuggets, Brisket Sandwiches, Fudge, Kolaches and Jerky at each location.
Next, the winner will purchase a piece of merchandise at each stop and make comparisons. Obviously, bathrooms are part of the challenge as well. Buc-ee’s is praised for the ‘cleanest bathrooms in the world.’ And, I can attest to the truth of that statement. They are amazing. And, with tons of stalls and a bathroom traffic director, the wait is never long even when the crowds are huge.
You’ll also be asked to compare prices of food, gas and merchandise, crowds, cashier lines and staff friendliness. I will say the staff we encounter is always upbeat, friendly and efficient.
Furthermore, the Buc-ee’s Summer Road Trip Challenge will require the winner to stop at other gas stations on their trip to compare similar categories when measured against Buc-ee’s. It sounds like a fun way to spend a few weeks for the end of the summer.
Brisket, Kolaches and Fudge Oh My
As a frequent visitor to Buc-ee’s, I can tell you the fudge is incredible, the brisket is constantly being prepared right in front of you and stuffed into sandwiches, tortillas, egg sandwiches for breakfast and more. It’s super yummy.

And, for those wondering what Kolaches are, they’re a staple in parts of Texas, where Buc-ee’s originated. A kolache is a Czech inspired pastry filled with all sorts of things including fruits or savory items such as sausage and eggs. They were a big deal when I lived in Waco. The town of West, Texas had a famous Kolache spot.
