Jerky. Beer. Barbeque. Bathrooms. Need we say more?
Yes, we’re talking about Texas’ biggest beaver— the man, the myth, the marketing legend himself, Buc-ee’s gas station.
How did this larger-than-life gas station create a $2.5 billion marketing strategy that garnered a rabid fan base and flocks of curious spectators to the so-called “cleanest bathrooms in America”?
Aidan Brannigan breaks down Buc-ee’s claim to fame and explains how, through four clever and simple marketing tactics, the beav managed to create the ultimate gas station destination.
Now if you don’t mind us, we have GOT to go grab those famous Beaver Nuggets and some brisket before they fly off the shelf. And the Buc-ee’s lawn chair, and the Buc-ee’s jerky, and the Buc-ee’s intertube, and the Buc-ee’s cheese dip, and the Buc-ee’s fudge, and the Buc-ee’s popcorn, and basically one of everything.
