I think it really boils down to people tend to only visit it on road trips / vacations that already have a magical aura around them. You’re excited, on vacation, but you’ve been driving for a few hours and decide to take a stop a Bucky’s to get gas, stretch your legs, enjoy the nice amenities, and get some entertainment and cheap snacks.
It’s unique and has lots of things that are fun to gawk at for a few minutes while you’re on a road trip. Random nicknacks nobody would ever buy, but are fun to browse. Tons of prepped food, fountain drinks, a huge coffee station, etc… Something for everyone to have a good time while taking a break from driving for 15 minutes. And nice bathrooms are a huge benefit when you’ve been on the road dodging needles at every other gas station toilet.
Its like Costco, I dont LOVE any big corporation but if I have to give money to one it would be the one that treats employees like people and appreciates its customers.
