COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A federal lawsuit alleges that the logo of a northern Ohio gas station chain too closely resembles that of the Buc-ee’s beaver.
The court filing by Buc-ee’s alleges that Coles IP Holdings, the owner of Mickey’s gas stations, is using a mascot that could cause confusion for its consumers.
