Chris Corner resells Buc-ee's snacks online and gets the chain's blessing

Shaan tells the story of Chris (Twitter @SerialTrep), who noticed cult Texas gas-station chain Buc-ee's had no e-commerce, started reselling its beaver nuggets and merch at a markup via TexasSnax.com, ran wildly profitable ads, and got the brand's blessing as an approved vendor since he buys at retail and owns his own 3PL.

“He notices that Buc-ee's does not have e-commerce. You could buy it in the store, but there's no e-commerce. So he just starts buying a whole bunch of products from the store and then just selling those same things online. And he's just like, let me test this out. So he runs some ads.”
