>> JULIE: IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019 GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS SHOWED UP TO A GAS STATION
GROUNDBREAKING IN DAYTONA
BEACH. MANY OF US WERE
SURPRISED AND ASK THE
QUESTION, WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL
WITH BUCKIES. WELL, IF YOU ASK
ANYONE WITH TIES TO TEXAS OR
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN TO A
BUCKIES TRAVEL CENTER. THEY’RE
LIKELY TO SAY IT IS WORTH THE
HYPE. I’M READY TO GO CHECK
THIS OUT, BUT HAS A FOLLOWING.
I REMEMBER WHEN WALLA OPEN.
HOW EXCITING. SO NOW THIS IS
LIKE A WHOLE NEW LEVEL BECAUSE
THIS ALSO IS NOT JUST A GAS
STATION IS MERCHANDISE ALL
KINDS OF FOODS AND SNACKS.
>> CANDACE: YOU CAN SEE FOR
YOURSELF WHEN THE BUCKIES IN
DAYTONA BEACH OPENS THIS
COMING MONDAY. THERE’S ONE IN
SAINT AUGUSTINE NOW CLICK
ORLANDO, DOT COM’S BRIANNA
VOLZ IS HERE NOW WITH A GUY
FOR US FIRST TIMERS IN
FLORIDA.
>> WELL, BRIDGETT, IF YOU HAVE
NEVER BEEN TO A BUCKIES AND
YOU PLAN TO GO TO ONE. LET’S
JUST SAY DON’T PLAN ON IT
BEING JUST A QUICK STOP FOR
GAS BUT A TONE. A BEACH
LOCATION IS THE COMPANY’S
SECOND TO OPEN IN FLORIDA AND
OUR PRODUCER HALEY RECENTLY
VISITED THE FIRST BUCKIES
TRAVEL CENTER IN SAINT
AUGUSTINE JUST A FEW WEEKS
AGO. IT WAS HER FIRST TIME AND
SHE NOT ONLY BROUGHT BACK
NUGGETS FOR ALL OF US. BUT SHE
WROTE UP THIS GUIDE FOR
BUCKIES ROOKIES. AND AS A
BUCKIES WORKING MYSELF, IT IS
VERY EXCITING TO GET THERE. SO
LET’S START WITH FIRST
IMPRESSIONS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE
THEY MATTER AND WHILE WE’RE
GOING OFF THE LOCATION IN
SAINT AUGUSTINE YOU CAN EXPECT
THE SAME FOR DAYTONA BEACH.
BUCKIES IS HARD TO MISS FROM
THE HIGHWAY. YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHY. SO WHILE YOU MAY PUT THE
LOCATION AND YOUR GPS. JUST
LOOK FOR THE TOWERING SIGN
NEXT TO I-NINETY-FIVE
FEATURING THE IN A BALL CAP
RIGHT AWAY. YOU WILL NOTICE
HOW BIG THIS TRAVEL CENTER IS.
IT’S GOT OVER 100 FUELING
POSITIONS AND DEPENDING ON THE
TIME YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE ANY
TROUBLE FINDING A PARKING
SPOT. BUT LET’S TALK SHOPPING,
OK. WE’VE GOT BIRTHDAYS
HOLIDAYS. ANY CELEBRATION THAT
INVOLVES GIFT BUYING IT ALL
CAN BE DONE AT BUCKY’S. WE ALL
HAVE THAT PERSON IN OUR LIVES
WHO IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOP FOR.
THAT WOULD BE MY MOM AND WE’RE
WILLING TO BET YOU CAN FIND
SOMETHING FOR THEM AT BUCKY’S
SCABIES OR BUCKIES BOOGIE
BOARDS WHICH ARE GREAT. IF
YOU’RE ABOUT TO HEAD ON OVER
TO THE BEACH. HALEY SAYS SOME
OF THE MEMORABLE MERCHANDISE
INCLUDES BUCKIES KUZ THESE
LEGGINGS PILLOWS. I MEAN, EVEN
A ONESIE. IT DOESN’T WANT THAT
THE HOME DECOR SECTION ALSO
TAKES UP A LOT OF SPACE. SO IF
YOU’RE A FAN OF THE KRACKER
BARREL STORE. IT’S SOMETHING
VERY SIMILAR AND I’M NOT GOING
TO LIE. I SPEND WAY TOO MUCH
TIME IN KRACKER BARREL STORE.
SO I’M EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
SEE, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU, OK.
LET’S GET INTO WHAT WE KNOW. A
LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE GOING TO
BUCKIES FOR THE FOOD. BUT HE’S
WAS STARTED IN TEXAS. SO THEY
DO BRISK IT RIGHT. THEY
CONVENIENTLY CHOP IT UP AND
PUT IT IN A SANDWICH FOR YOU,
OK. NOW, AS FOR SNACKS. BUT
HAS A WIDE SELECTION FROM
SWEET TO SAVORY AND ALSO MEET
THERE’S A WIDE SELECTION OF
BAGGED ARE KEY. BUT IF YOU’RE
A TRUE JERKY KIND OF SEE WHERE
YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THE
JERKY COUNTER PLENTY OF
OPTIONS. THERE. OTHER NOTABLE
SNACKS INCLUDE FUDGE, ROASTED
NUTS AND COLLAGE. HE’S A TRUE
BUCKIES FAN IS NOT COMPLETELY.
IF YOU DON’T GRAB A BAG OF
NUGGETS. THE SWEET CORN PUFF
SNACK IS LIKE A GENTLER
CARAMEL CORN AND WE’RE
BASICALLY FIGHTING OVER THEM
LAST WEEK WHEN HALEY BROUGHT
THEM BACK. SO I THINK THEY’RE
GOING TO BE VERY, VERY, VERY
POPULAR. BUT HOPEFULLY THEY’LL
HAVE ENOUGH TO GO AROUND.
THEY’LL BE NO FIGHTING NOW
LET’S TALK BATHROOMS. OKAY.
THEY PRIDE THEMSELVES ON
HAVING THE WORLD’S CLEANEST
BATHROOMS COME ON. TRY KNOW
YOU DO NOW. THEY PRIDE
THEMSELVES ON THESE BATHROOM.
SO EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE TO
GO. TROY. YOU OWE IT TO
YOURSELF.
>> YES, REALLY LOOK AT THE OK.
LISTEN, BUCKIES HASN’T
FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE DOGS
EITHER. THERE’S PLENTY OF
SPACE FOR YOUR PUP TO SQUAT.
JUST BE SURE TO CLEAN UP AFTER
THEM AND THEY HAVE PLENTY OF
SIGNS POSTED TO REMIND YOU I’M
NOT GOING TO READ THAT BECAUSE
I’M GOING TO BE A LADY AND NOT
SAY THAT WORD ON TV, BUT IT’S
PRETTY CUTE. SO.
>> JULIE: READ IT FOR
YOURSELF, OK. NOW A FEW FINAL
THOUGHTS, HALEY VISITED THE
BUCKIES ON A SATURDAY AND ON
MONDAY AND MONDAY WAS
SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER AS FAR AS
CROWDS. SO THERE’S A LITTLE
PRO TIP FOR YOU NOW. WE WANT
TO KNOW AFTER ALL OF THAT. DO
YOU PLAN ON VISITING FLORIDA
BUCKIES YOU CAN LET US KNOW IN
OUR POLL. I’M SURE ONE OF OUR
REPORTERS WILL BE THERE MONDAY
MORNING, RIGHT. TROY YOU’RE
GOING I WILL TAKE YOU YOU HAVE
NO CHOICE. TRY. WHAT ABOUT YOU
GUYS? I’M GOING TO MAKE A TRIP
FOR SURE. AND TROY IS NOT
OKAY. I WAS PERUSING SOME OF
THE MERCHANDISE ONLINE BECAUSE
I WAS THINKING ’04, STORIES
NEXT BIRTHDAY. YEAH. ONESIE
AND I CAN SO HE SAY FOR KNOW
WILL BE MAKING A TRIP IS YOU
TOLD ME TODAY BREE THAT THEY
HAVE THE KOLACHE EASE, WHICH
REMINDS ME OF WHEN I HAD
FAMILY LIVING IN TEXAS AND
THEY ARE JUST LIKE A FANCY WAY
OF SAYING PICK IN THE THEY’RE
ALL DIFFERENT SORTS OF THOUGH.
