BBB Assigns F Ratings to Dozens of Buc‑ee’s Stores Over Unanswered Complaints

The rating contrasts with strong third‑party satisfaction rankings.

Overview

  • Bureau records show Buc‑ee’s failed to answer 88 complaints, which the BBB cites as a pattern of nonresponse dating to 2019.
  • As of March 11, at least 33 of 38 Buc‑ee’s locations listed by the BBB carried F grades across Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee.
  • Unanswered complaints span March 2023 through February 2026 and allege car‑wash problems, defective merchandise, erroneous charges, and disputes over returns or refunds.
  • The company removed store phone numbers and directs customers to its website, and BBB listings say Buc‑ee’s does not respond to complaints forwarded through the bureau.
  • Buc‑ee’s operates about 54 locations with further expansion planned, while reputation experts note BBB grades can improve if a company engages the complaint process.
