The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'd like to see Berkshire buy Buc-ees. My rough estimate of the Florence, SC store opened last year is $700M revenues and likely more than $85M in bottom line profits from that one (1) store. Buc-ees is literally hoovering all that money away from other Interstate stores within a 100 mile radius. If Berkshire likes Pilot Flying J, it would likely love (love vs like emphasized) Buc-ees. The two founders are still running Buc-ees and are in their late sixties-early 70s. The kind of owner-operators Warren embraces. Forty-four (44) locations and still plenty room to continue growing their interstate footprint.
