I'm not even sure what a "destination gas station" means. I see some big ones on our road trips, and all I ever do is stop at whatever one has a reasonable price, then take off.

Who are these for?

They're like a super store, but also have gas and impressively good BBQ sandwiches. They sale a bit of everything. Like an ikea for road trips.

Huh, weird. Are prices reasonable? Or are they typical gas station prices where it's way cheaper to just hit a grocery store first?

For road trips, I usually just hit a grocery store the night before and don't bother with actually going into any convenience stores the entire trip.

Their gas prices are always cheaper than anything else you'll find just of the highway. They literally lose money on gas sales - just so you will possibly buy something in the store.

The prices in the store aren't cheap (about what you'd expect from a highway-side gas station), but you can get all kinds of stuff in there. BBQ, roasted nuts, deli sandwiches, fudge, and some of the best beef jerky around

I mean, it makes sense. What kind of psychopath goes to a buc-ees and only gets gas? That's like going to Disney World and only riding the tram.
