10 Things Every Mom Needs from the New Buc-ee’s in Pass Christian
It’s here, y’all! The brand-new Buc-ee’s in Pass Christian is officially open, and it’s everything we dreamed of—and more. If you’ve ever been to a Buc-ee’s, you already know it’s not just a gas station. It’s a Texas-sized wonderland of snacks, home goods, and clean bathrooms (truly, the cleanest you’ll ever see on a road trip).
But if you’re a mom, Buc-ee’s hits different. Whether you're wrangling toddlers, chauffeuring teens, or just escaping for a solo snack run, here are 10 things every Gulf Coast mom needs to grab on her first (or fiftieth) trip to Buc-ee’s:
🥜 Beaver Nuggets (a.k.a. Mom Fuel)
Sweet. Crunchy. Addictive. Throw a bag in the cart for the kids and one just for you—because you deserve a treat that doesn’t come from the bottom of a car seat.
🍔 Brisket Sandwiches (Dinner = Done)
Late soccer practice? Forgot to defrost the chicken? Grab a few of these hot, juicy brisket sandwiches and serve them up at home with a side of chips. Nobody needs to know you didn’t cook.
🚽 Bathroom Break Bliss
No purchase necessary. No keys attached to a hubcap. Just sparkling clean stalls with room to wrangle a toddler, change a diaper, and reset your sanity. Honestly, worth the drive alone.
👚 Matching Family Pajamas
Yes, Buc-ee’s carries seasonal jammies. And yes, you will leave with a set for every member of the family (including the dog).
🚗 Road Trip Essentials
Stock up on everything from travel games and car chargers to snacks you won't feel guilty about handing out before breakfast (hello, trail mix). They even have coloring books and surprise toys to keep the littles happy from Pass Christian to Pensacola.
☕️ Coffee Station That Understands Moms
Their coffee bar is chef’s kiss. Whether you need caffeine before school drop-off or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, Buc-ee’s has everything from classic brew to iced lattes and flavored syrups. Bonus: no judgment if it’s your third cup.
🖼️ Home Decor That’s Too Cute to Resist
Farmhouse signs, kitchen towels, candles, seasonal wreaths—you name it. You thought you were stopping for gas, but now your front porch is ready for fall.
🌊 Local Love + Southern Pride
You’ll find t-shirts, hats, and gifts repping the Gulf Coast, Mississippi, and all things Southern. Great for care packages, gifts, or just reminding folks you’re from the best coast—the Gulf Coast.
🥤Mom-Sized Tumbler Cups
Because hydration is key—and Buc-ee’s has every size, color, and glitter combo imaginable. Yeti who?
🧘♀️ Peace of Mind
Let’s be real: Sometimes you just need a place that feels safe, clean, and fun. Whether you're on a family road trip or just need a break from your usual grocery run, Buc-ee’s gives moms a chance to breathe, laugh, and grab a snack that doesn't come from the bottom of a diaper bag.
