New Cult is Inspiring Utah With Its Announcement

The word cult gets thrown around pretty easily these days. Many point their fingers at Utah as a home for cults, but this accusation is about to really come true in an unexpected way. It involves a beaver and the crowds coming to worship it.

Buc-ee’s is Building a Location in Utah

The Springville city council has approved land for this large retailer to build a location next to I-15. If you are picturing a convenience store with some gas pumps, think a lot bigger, like Walmart size bigger.

My first experience with this convenience store wonderland was in South Carolina. My son said we were stopping at Buc-ee’s and I was curious as I had heard people talking about the place. However, I was staying cool as I have seen gas stations before.

This is the location for the new Buc-ee's in Springville. Google

There’s a Reason Buc-ee's has a Cult Following

By the time we left the store an hour later I was smiling and giddy like a kid at Disneyland. It started with seeing just how many people were pouring into the store. The energy and excitement was contagious.

I was still trying to keep it together, but the wall of beef jerky was overwhelming. Something about putting that much love into dried meat moved me. Speaking of which, the place sparkles and the bathrooms are pristine.

I can’t put it all into words, but it was fun and kind of inspiring. The brisket sandwich was delicious and the sweatshirt I bought was reasonably priced. You’ll just have to experience it for yourself.

Just let me say there is a reason grown adults walk through the aisles in beaver pajamas while loading up on t-shirts and stuffed animals. Sure, it’s a little cult like and frankly, I consider myself a member.
