#1 Sounds like a massive nut-roll to manage and operate.
Wondering how long before we see YouTube Vid's.

OBTW:
Another local place to checkout.
IF its still open since the Scandemic... checkout Flapjack's Pancakes.

#2 When in Sevierville, visit Smokey Mountain Knifeworks and Bud's Guns. Oh, yeah, and Gatlinburg, too...

#3 Much smaller store on I-75 West of Fairmount, GA. A three-ring Walmart with gas pumps and expensive bbq. Drive defensively both entering and exiting.

Driven past it dozens of times. With luck, I'll drive past it dozens more.

#4 ...Last February, I stopped by the newly opened Buc-ee's on I-95 in SC (at 0630, no less) just to see what all the fuss was about.

It is indeed a cross between a WalMart and the mother of all truck stops, but this HAS to be said: the food was good, if a touch pricey...and that place was so clean you could about eat off the floors.
