The Mary Sue
John Oliver dared Buc-ee’s to sue him after mocking the chain’s aggressive legal strategy, but the Texas-based travel center ignored the challenge and went after a decades-old neighborhood store instead.
Buc-ee’s only opened its first Ohio location in April, while Beaver’s Mini Mart has been a local staple for years.
Buc-ee’s hasn’t responded to Oliver’s challengeIt hasn’t even responded to requests for comment about the Beaver’s Mini Mart lawsuit.
The mini mart doesn’t even sell gas, and its location in a residential neighborhood makes confusion with Buc-ee’s 16-mile-away travel center unlikely.
Beaver’s Mini Mart has been sitting in that neighborhood for over two decades.
