First Idaho and then Utah, however, Utah may jump the Gem State when it comes to the first Buc-ees in the Mountain West. We know what you're thinking: What is a Buc-cees? Don't we have enough of whatever is coming to Idaho? Do we really need another something?

Well, Buc-ee's is an indescribable combination of an amusement park, gas station, convenience store, entertainment center, and fantastic food. We did report that the company was looking to build a massive facility in Meridian.

Multiple reports say Utah will be getting a Buc-ees after a unanimous vote by the Springville City Council. The site is expected to take over two years to build, creating more than 200 jobs.

What is a Buc-ees?

The chain is home to the largest convenience store, 75,593 square feet. It claims to have the cleanest restrooms in the country and a selection of every item known to man. The chain is popular in Texas and other parts of the West.

We did report a few months ago that our state would not get a Buc-ees, that situation has changed. 'However, one publication says Idaho will not get Buc-ees because the state is relatively remote compared to its other locations. The chain looks to build near highways and tourist attractions.'

What can you buy at Buc-ees? Our research indicates anything from food to grills to an incredible selection of beef jerky. The chain is so popular that folks proudly buy Buc-ees merchandise, from cups to t-shirts.

Unlike the Idaho location, the Utah location is approved and ready to go. We'll continue to update you on this story as it develops.
