🟢 NOT PRIVATE EQUITY OWNED
Buc-ee's
convenience store · Lake Jackson, TX
“Founder-owned, beaver-branded, and PE-free since 1982.”
Why It's Different
- •Co-founders Arch 'Beaver' Aplin III (68%) and Don Wasek (27%) still own the company
- •No outside investors, no PE, no plans to go public
- •Clean bathrooms and beef jerky walls — proof you don't need PE money to build a cult following
