Love Buc-ee's, but it's always so goofy how far off they'll advertise a location. Then, once you pass it by, you'll see a couple more billboards telling you that it's behind you and you can still turn around and go back.

I really have to wonder what their advertising budget is sometimes.

It's probably something like .00001% of their revenue, really. I'm always amazed at how a gas station has people fanboying over it, and is always full.

No kidding. It's a mini Walmart with gas and better bathrooms. I don't need a Walmart when I fill up on gas or take a piss.

South of the Border has been doing this long before Buc-eel’s even existed.

Yup! That one feels like it should be a record for them!

I wonder the same about the advertising budget for different mega law firms like Darryl Isaacs that has proudly on some of their billboards "We've recovered more than $2 billion for our clients." I'm like, "Yeah and then immediately reinvested into buying more billboards."
