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.
