New Website Ships Buc-ee’s Beaver Nuggets Throughout the World

Shipping Buc-ee’s
There’s a new website, Texas Snax, which is dedicated to selling and shipping Buc-ee’s snacks (yes, including beaver nuggets) throughout the world. Site owner Chris Koerner spoke to Texas Monthly about why and how it works. “We’re just big fans,” he says, “and we just resell their products.” People select and pay for their desired snacks, he goes and buys said-products, and then ships them to buyers. Originally, he wanted to create a shopping website for Buc-ee’s, but when he didn’t hear back from the company, he decided to just create his own site. Buc-ee’s is aware of the website, which is unaffiliated with the company. The only request that Buc-ee’s made was that he change the original name of Beaver Snax, as the publication noted.
