LOL does your boyfriend work the night shift at one of the aforementioned establishments Beaver Aplin has sued?

A Texas-owned, Aggie-owned business protecting its branding?

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

Bucky's is actually an older corporation than Bucee's.

1) beaver, chicken, and alligator are not even in the same animal families, bad form!

2). Irv's is garbage. I was so excited when it opened becuase I needed a tertiary poo stop on the way to Freeport, but alas, the amenities were garbage.

"A Texas-owned, Aggie-owned business protecting its branding?"

Had no idea it was an Aggie... don't care. Stucky's should sue them. They deserve a taste of their own medicine, as they have obviously deliberately rhymed with Stucky's.

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."





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

I guess that I will be facing a lawsuit from Buc-ees if I open my breastraunt, The Shaved Beaver.

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.

I thought I read that Bucky's and Buc-Cees had a deal not to enter each other's territories...but Bucky's decided to move into texas...and got sued by Buc-Cees.

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.

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.

Good luck finding workers that will keep to their quality control standards. I hope it works, but am quite doubtful.

They need to install all ceramic walls on the stalls and have ports for water hoses to hose down the entire stall.

I knew one of the guys that built Chicks and all he talked about was the legal battle they were going through with bucees. He and his family made money on building convenient stores from the ground up and selling before they actually opened. I believe part of the settlement was that Chicks had to change the name/logo before it could be sold.

Though he did say everything about the store is a copy cat from from Bucees, the only thing they could sue on were the small items like "yellow background, red mouth..." or whatever they sued these places on.

The did some charity work good for them. That is free publicity.

Notice how they aren't spreading the news about them strong arming other companies over colors and animal mascots? You can be two faced. A lot of people are that way.
