Date of Visit: May 24–25, 2025 | Locations: Buc-ee’s – Calhoun, GA • Richmond, KY • Smiths Grove, KY
Our Memorial Day weekend road trip took us on an exciting Buc-ee’s run through Georgia and Kentucky, and let’s just say — the beaver did not disappoint!
We kicked things off with a familiar stop at the Calhoun, GA location for breakfast. It was great seeing some of our Buc-ee’s family again:
- Tracy greeted us with her signature warm smile,
- Becca from the bakery was just as friendly as ever, and
- Leah, our cashier, checked us out with a cheerful attitude.
We even ran into Windy, who remembered us from a previous visit — what a great way to start our trip! Breakfast was classic: a brisket taco, Texas Squeeze orange juice, and our must-have House Blend coffee.
Next stop: Richmond, KY. This was our first time at this location, and we were thrilled. The store is clean, well-organized, and full of energy. A big shoutout to Zach, our cashier, who made checkout a breeze. The staff here really embody the Buc-ee’s hospitality we’ve come to love. Finally, we made it to Smiths Grove, KY — another gem in the Buc-ee’s crown.
- Pam, who was working merchandise and chips, was incredibly friendly and helpful.
- Colton, our cashier, rounded out the visit with great service.
Each stop reminded us just how consistent Buc-ee’s is in its commitment to clean restrooms, amazing food, and the friendliest people on the road. We left Kentucky full, happy, and already planning our return.
Up next: a return to Leeds in June, and the grand opening of the Brunswick, GA store on July 1, 2025. We’re especially looking forward to that one — we hope to meet Arch Aplin and Randy Pauly in person and have them sign our beloved copy of Texas Monthly.
This journey has become more than just visits — it’s a celebration of the culture, care, and community that Buc-ee’s brings to every traveler’s day.
Until next time — keep on snackin’, buckaroos!
