It seems like everyone loves Buc-ee's. It's a road trip staple. But, that's not always the case for residents. North Carolina was slated to have a Buc-ee's built about 40 miles from Raleigh in Efland, North Carolina. The land where Buc-ee's was plotting would need to be rezoned and after much uproar from the community about wanting to protect the land and not wanting more light pollution, Buc-ee's pulled out. This article, from Texas Monthly, is actually a really interesting discourse on that.
