Texas' favorite rest stop Buc-ee's is no stranger to filing lawsuits, and this time they have a Florida oddities shop in their crosshairs for selling merchandise that seemingly pokes fun at the beloved beaver.

Buc-ee's has an issue with the Winter Park, FL shop Prometheus Esoterica selling merchandise designed in the likeness of the Buc-ee's beaver, as noted in a lawsuit filed May 29.


According to MySA.com, the lawsuit accuses the oddities shop of piggybacking on Buc-ee's hard-earned title as a "household name."

The lawsuit reads, "[Prometheus Esoterica's] unauthorized use of the Buc-ee's Marks is likely to cause confusing among customers.

Prometheus Esoterica has 21 days from the time the time the lawsuit was filed in late May to submit a formal response
