Buc-ees is the answer.
QuikTrip is legit, but nothing is even close to Buc-ees. The only thing Buc-ees has going against it is that their logo looks like Joey Brezinski.

This is the only right answer. And I'm from California. But I gotta give it to Texas on this one.

Same dude, being from California and then moving to Texas and experiencing buc-ees for the first time was unreal. It’s like target with 120 gas pumps.
They don’t let big rigs in though, which is kinda fucked. I didn’t think about that aspect of it at all until I got my cdl and realized that’s a major bummer.

If you ever travel rt 80 with your truck you gotta stop in at Sapp Brothers. It is a true truck stop with great breakfast, pie and friendly staff. If I lived near one I would eat there regularly.

My problem with the mom and pop convenience stores -- the ones where they don't have prices on the items -- is that some of them want to hit you with a super high price and you're supposed to, like, haggle them down. I've literally had a clerk say to me as I approached the counter, "Ah, Perrier Water! Good Stuff! Six dollars?" I just turned around and put it back in the refrigerator.

I pay $2.50 for that water at the mom and pop shop by my laundromat. On second thought, maybe I missed an opportunity to haggle him down to $1.50 (though I doubt it).
thats probably why theyre upcharging ya. if you cultivate a relationship at those no price tag stores youll start getting shit at cost

natural lawson is getting a lot better these days. 7-11 also has a vege burgers a while back though they weren’t able to make them all vegan...Expand QuoteJapan[close]
For all their vegan options, right?
No midwesterners here chiming in for the most obscenely named c-store chain of them all, Kum-n-Go?Im in Denver and kng just flat out cannot compare to rofo or wawa. Kng just has snacks and freal blenders. Wawa and rofo have fresh hot MEALS with a way larger selection of snacks and drinks. Really the best cornerstores I found are all the random ones in New Orleans that serve up poboys.

JapanI miss Lawson and 711 but I had a mom and pop one behind my mansion that ruled. Best place for drinking snacks and beer/chuhai selection.
I remember AMPM once sold a cup with a damn bucket handle which led me to this:It may be unnecessary to say, but I think a convenience store with beer options for the big gulp would be helpful.

We don't have shit like this in Michigan. Gas stations are all super basic and you really don't want to eat from them unless it's packaged snacks. Best we've got is beer, liquor and wine at most gas stations. Always thought it was strange that other states have that shit separated.
My favorite convenience store if I had to pick one is Marcus Market in Detroit because it's got the best taco counter in the back. If you're near WSU campus and want some bomb Mexican, get the steak quesadillas (nothing like the American taco bell style). They gave them to me by mistake once and now they're all I order. Dirt cheap too, don't think I've ever spent more than $8 on a meal.
Anywhere in Maine with those god damn pink hot dogs. I fucking love those things.

They are all pretty good here. Except family mart, family mart sucks.

I grew up in Maine so I had no idea that those were only a Maine thing until I moved to PA. I asked my first college roommate if he knew where to get them and he looked at me like I was fucking crazy. I took him to Maine a year or two later and we ate them and dude couldn't get enough of them haha

Buc-ees is a fucking unstoppable empire, and I ain't mad. People outside of TX just don't know. These Japanese corner stores sound wonderful, but they're corner stores. Buc-ees are compounds. They're in a category of their own, completely out of the "convenience" category. They're more like Neo-western outposts.
Growing up in the midwest, I'd have to go with Kwik Trip though I swear it was called Kickapoo at one point. Moving to California, I fell in love with 7-11 and their abundance, though they can vary wildly from location to location. Sadly, I try and stay away from the one-off corner stores, which I coined "dust marts" a while back, due to the common occurrence of finding a layer of dust across a lot of the seldomly purchased items. I used to always try and live within walking distance of a 7-11 but go figure I bought a house with none anywhere near it.
Going to a 7-11 in Japan was glorious. Shout out to the one in Kyoto I visited first.
