One thing people will get weirdly passionate about is their favorite gas station / convenience store.

I’m originally from Kansas City, so my loyalty lies with Quick Trip, which sadly doesn’t exist in my new home of Chicago.

But what if your favorite place turns out to be an imposter?

That’s the question posed by this video from TikTok user @chixy38:

“We just found a knock-off Buc-ee’s,” reads the first of several captions.

“The same style/layout including the bathrooms.”

“Almost the exact same food selection.”

“I have 2 of these exact bags but with Buc-ee on it.”

Apparently these companies are, like, half-brothers?

Apparently it has a few niche advantages.

I’ll still take a Quick Trip over either of them.

But it’s always nice to have options.
