Bucky's is actually an older corporation than Bucee's.Jock 07 said:
I'm actually surprised he hasn't gone after the knockoff bucees that are all over here in Omaha

I'm no lawyer so I have no idea if he'd have a case, all I know is that they're nowhere near the greatness of the real bucees

During the case, which Chicks settled out of court, Bucee's brazenly accused the store of improper use of: "friendly smiling cartoon animals," "the use of a black circle," "the use of a yellow background," "the use of the red-colored cockscomb on the heads of the chickens," "the prominent use of sharply drawn black edges," and "the use of six letters in raised and lowered block font in the name."

Protecting branding with large business like Bucee's is just another way to not only protect itself and generate money, is also will actively beat down competition. It's just part of making money. Bucee's is a money maker. It's a nasty moneymaker. People like the owner don't get where they are because they are nice and decent human beings. I shop at bucees, its a cutesy gimmicky place with overpriced fuel, but sometimes, it's easier to just roll through and get diesel and be on my way.
I'm pretty sure it is no secret now, or in the past, that bucees legal team is aggressive and will destroy a business if it has to, regardless of how frivolous it's claims are.
More importantly, based on how it frames lawsuits, Bucees clearly thinks it's patrons are complete idiots.
I'm looking forward to the outcome. If something this stupid loses, it sets a dangerous precedent. If they win, then it gives other businesses positive feedback to the bully tactics.
They're not necessarily wrong on that. If you were trying to appeal to a cross section of people on the interstate, you wouldn't start with metaphysics.BrazosDog02 said:

Aren't they expanding to Louisiana? There is not currently a clean restroom east of Baytown. Those things are going to be goldmines, if they can keep their quality control from failing in Cajun country. There's a reason everything looks the way it does down there.Texaggie7nine said:
Would they be the first empire built on clean ****ters?
Good luck finding workers that will keep to their quality control standards. I hope it works, but am quite doubtful.chimpanzee said:Aren't they expanding to Louisiana?

Nobody would look of that logo and think of Bucee's
