If a Wal-Mart SuperCenter and a Buc-ee’s married and reproduced, they’d have to buy Arkansas and Oklahoma, maybe part of Missouri, just to have room to raise the offspring.
These are not small stores. A store is Mr. Menefee’s Esso back home where you could get an RC and a candy bar while you filled up or while Mr. Menefee helped you fix a flat on your bicycle.
Our modern-day Wal-Marts and Buc-ees are more like mini republics…
