Buc-ee's touts the cleanliness of its facilities from interstate billboards with slogans such as "Only 262 Miles to Buc-ee's. You Can Hold It." and "Restrooms So Clean We Leave Mints in the Urinals."

ABC News correspondent Ryan Owens spoke with Buc-ee's owner "Beaver" Alpin (thus, the name Buc-ee's and the rodent mascot). Alpin, he said, "follows a simple business model—it's all about the bathrooms."

Each Buc-ee's location offers dozens of private stalls, said the report, and attendants "who never stop cleaning."

The Lake Jackson, Texas-based chain—which has more than 1,000 employees—opened four new locations this year, for a total of 30 stores.

Buc-ee's, like its eastern cousins Wawa and Sheetz, has a huge following of devoted fans, who post testimonials on the Buc-ee's Beaver Blog, photos on the chain's website and videos on YouTube (click here for a previous CSP Daily News feature about a Buc-ee's fan who posted a video on YouTube). The chain's Facebook page has 76,425 fans.

The stores also offer coffee, fountain, foodservice, snacks and more, as well as Buc-ee's merchandise and collectibles such as t-shirts, mugs and more.
