Does Oklahoma Have a Gas Station Better Than Buc-ees?

It's always around the holidays, when everyone is traveling, that the Buc-ees talk starts to spread across Oklahoma.

Are they ever coming? Where could Buc-ees build? Is it an Oklahoma/Texas thing?

The assumed answer to the question has always been "Oklahoma isn't big enough," but since Buc-ees is building in tiny Amarillo, that theory is out the window.

The new question is, do we really need a Buc-ees? Or rather, do we have a gas station chain that is either better than Buc-ees or will do in a pinch?
