Buc-ee's sues Beaver's Mini Mart

Buc-ee s, the Texas-based convenience store chain, filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Beaver s Mini Mart in Beavercreek, United States — Ohio, in late July 2026. Buc-ee s argues that the mini mart's beaver logo too closely resembles its own branded beaver mascot. The lawsuit sparked a public backlash, including boycotts, a GoFundMe campaign, and a resolution by the United States — Beavercreek City Council making the beaver an official part of the city's history. Comedian John Oliver highlighted Buc-ee s history of trademark lawsuits on his show, and United States — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine called the lawsuit 'absurd.' Buc-ee s had previously sued Mickey Mart over a moose logo. The mini mart's owner, Vic Boparai, expressed gratitude for community support but did not address the lawsuit's merits.
