In an amended complaint filed in federal court this week, Buc-ee’s claims the mini mart told news media that “it had never heard any objection for Buc-ee’s prior to its filing the lawsuit.”
Buc-ee’s claims in the court documents that it first reached out to the mini mart, located on Hanes Road, in March 2026 and never got a response.
Buc-ee’s sent the mini mart cease-and-desist letters two more times, including hand-delivering one in June, but did not get a response.
They filed the federal lawsuit the following month.
