In a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court, Buc-ee’s accuses Bucky’s of trademark infringement, unfair competition, and unjust enrichment, claiming the Bucky’s name is “confusingly similar” to the Buc-ee’s name. Both businesses operate gas stations and convenience stores. There are more than 30 Buc-ee’s stores – known for their squeaky clean restrooms and cheeky billboards featuring a grinning beaver – in Texas. Bucky’s hasn’t set up shop in Texas just yet, the suit says, but it’s about to – and that has Buc-ee’s worried. The court filing indicates Bucky’s has acquired land in Houston and Nassau Bay and has worked to obtain liquor licenses from the state and necessary zoning changes.
