Buc-ee's discussed opening its westernmost location yet
Buc-ee's has explored the possibility of expanding to Idaho in a move that would give the Texas-based travel center its westernmost location. City officials in Meridian, Idaho met with Buc-ee's representatives on June 12 to discuss the potential of opening a travel center in the city, Meridian Economic Development Administrator Curtis Calder told USA TODAY. However, Buc-ee's has not submitted an application for the project. Though plans for an Idaho Buc-ee's are still hypothetical, Buc-ee's fans online are already eager for the travel center to hit their state. In a heartfelt TikTok video posted on July 9, a woman is told Buc-ee's may expand to Idaho in which she covers her mouth in disbelief. Buc-ee's did not wish to comment when contacted by USA TODAY on Friday, July 18. What's so great about Buc-ee's? Fans love the food, gas pumps, mascot, sparkling bathrooms Buc-ee's continues to expand national footprint Buc-ee's, a travel center known for its long-line of gas pumps, large restrooms and beaver-themed merchandise, was established in Texas by Arch "Beaver" Aplin III in 1982, per the Buc-ee's website. Over the past 40-plus years, Aplin has lead the opening of more than 50 locations, which started in Texas and then began to branch throughout the South, Midwest and now are creeping to the West. An expansion into Idaho would mark the chain's westernmost location, which is currently positioned in Berthoud, Colorado. Shoppers recently celebrated the grand opening of Virginia's first Buc-ee's location, which opened its doors in Mount Crawford on June 30. That location opened just one day before another new store in in Brunswick, on Georgia's southeast coast. Other states with Buc-ee's locations include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Prediction markets reveal whether CEO Andy Byron will leave Astronomer after Coldplay scandal
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. In a sign of the times, you can now bet on whether tech honcho Andy Byron, now famous for all the wrong reasons, will step down from his post as CEO of Astronomer, a private data infrastructure company worth more than $1 billion, before the end of the month. Kalshi, a New York-based financial exchange and prediction market, posted the market on Thursday, July 17 at 10:40 a.m. ET, just about 12 hours after Byron, who is married with kids, was caught on the 'Kiss Cam' with the company's head of human resources, Kristin Cabot. The market, which has been live for just over 30 hours at the time of writing, has attracted over $750,000 in bets at Kalshi. You can probably guess where the majority of that money is landing. 3 Astronomer CEO Andy Byron photographed with head of Human Resources Kristin Cabot Grace Springer via Storyful At the time of writing, 'Yes' (he will step down) is a significant 68 percent favorite with $750,000 being wagered on this market Unlike sportsbooks, users at prediction markets like Kalshi are trading on the outcome of real events in the world, and prices shift on demand, meaning the more money that comes in on a prediction, the shorter the price will get. 3 Graph showing a 59% chance of the Astronomer CEO leaving this month. kalshi If you convert those prices to standard American odds (while acknowledging it's not a perfect conversion due to the vig), you roughly get 'Yes' as a -212 favorite. Those are roughly the same odds you can get on the Phillies to beat the Angels on Friday night. Prediction markets, which allow punters to gamble on future real-world events like elections, the economy, and the weather, have become more and more bold in 2025, hoping to grow to become legitimate competitors to sportsbooks. 3 Lounge area with 'Astronomer' sign. Astronomer Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps Kalshi has made it part of their strategy to gamify moments and stories that capture the public's attention, no matter how bizarre. Kalshi has also posted a market for predicting whether or not Coldplay will address the viral moment before the end of the month. Astronomer said they were investigating the matter on Friday afternoon, over 24 hours after the viral moment exploded on social media.
