Walking into a Buc-ee<\/strong>‘s can feel like stepping into a roadside wonderland.<\/p>\n

The Texas-born chain is famous for its endless snack aisles, homemade fudge, smoked brisket sandwiches, sparkling clean restrooms, and enough drink options to satisfy just about anyone.<\/p>\n

From walls of beef jerky to fresh barbecue and dozens of fountain drinks, it’s easy to assume you’ll find every major soda brand, too.<\/p>\n

But there’s one incredibly popular drink that’s missing from nearly every Buc-ee’s location.<\/p>\n

However, most first-time visitors don’t realize<\/a> it until they’re standing in front of the coolers.<\/p>\n

The One Soda You Won’t Find at Buc-ee’s<\/h3>\n

If you’re searching for a Pepsi, you’re out of luck.<\/p>\n

According to The Takeout<\/a><\/em>, Buc-ee’s has an exclusive partnership with Coca-Cola, meaning its coolers and fountain machines are stocked with Coke products rather than Pepsi products.<\/p>\n

That means shoppers won’t find Pepsi, Mountain Dew or most other PepsiCo soft drinks at Buc-ee’s.<\/p>\n

Exclusive beverage agreements are common at restaurants and fast-food chains, but they’re far less common at convenience stores, where travelers typically expect to find both major soda brands.<\/p>\n

There is one notable exception. A recently opened Buc-ee’s in Johnstown, Colo., has reportedly carried Pepsi products instead of Coca-Cola, making it a rare outlier among the chain’s locations.<\/p>\n

The timing is especially interesting because Buc-ee’s continues to expand across the country<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The chain recently announced plans to open its first-ever locations in several new states, including Arkansas, Wisconsin, Kansas, Louisiana and North Carolina over the next two years.<\/p>\n

That means thousands of first-time Buc-ee’s customers will soon experience the massive travel center for themselves \u2014 and many will probably make the same surprising discovery<\/a> when they go looking for a Pepsi.<\/p>\n
