“Coming Soon” Billboard Magnets
Been to a few Buc-ee’s now and luckily I started my billboard magnet collection (second photo) at the first location and have consistently found one that relates to each visit to each location. Being a Californian, I’m eagerly looking forward to the Goodyear, AZ location to open. In doing research, it appears they had magnets for the location a year ago at the groundbreaking that said “Coming Soon.” (First photo.) Seems that is a newer thing that they’re doing at groundbreakings (seen some photos of other locations’ groundbreaking goodie tables too, all newer locations) since there’s so many being built. Gotta say, I love the idea to generate excitement, but not loving how exclusive they are. Curious if anyone has these in their collection, the best way to get one outside of being press at the groundbreaking, and making my own pitch that they have “Grand Opening” or “Now Open” ones at the store openings for all the fervent fans that now show up. Would be a cool small way to mark the occasion with merch which is really on brand for Buc-ee’s. Surprised they haven’t done so already, both because it seems obvious and clearly they make some promo items of this type.
