Buc-ee’s to Celebrate Grand Opening of Auburn, Alabama, Travel Center on April 10

New Store Is the First Buc-ee's in Eastern Alabama and the Brand's Fourth Location in the State

Buc-ee's, home of the world's cleanest bathrooms, freshest food and friendliest beaver, will unveil its newest travel center in Auburn, Alabama, on Monday, April 10, 2023. Doors will open to the public at 6 a.m. CT, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony will follow at 9:30 a.m. CT.

Located at 2500 Buc-ee's Boulevard, Buc-ee's Auburn occupies more than 53,470 square feet and offers 120 fueling positions just outside its store with thousands of snack, meal and drink options for travelers on the go. The new travel center also offers the same award-winning restrooms, cheap gas, quality products and excellent service that have won the hearts, trust and business of millions in the South for nearly 40 years. Buc-ee's favorites, including Texas barbeque, homemade fudge, kolaches, Beaver Nuggets, jerky and fresh pastries, are all available as well.

Local leaders attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony will include Mayor Ron Anders of Auburn; City Councilperson Tommy Dawson of Auburn; Auburn City Manager Megan McGowen Crouch; City of Auburn Economic Development Director Phillip Dunlap; Lee County Commission Chairman Bill English; and others.

Founded in Texas in 1982, Buc-ee's operates 45 stores across Texas and the South. Since beginning its multi-state expansion in 2019, Buc-ee's has opened travel centers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Buc-ee's recently announced the brand is headed west with store groundbreakings in Colorado and Missouri. The first Virginia location was announced in March of this year.  

"Our partnership with Alabama couldn't be stronger, and Auburn is the perfect place for a Buc-ee's," said Stan Beard of Buc-ee's. "The home of the Tigers is ideally located along I-85, making it the perfect stop for travelers headed to Georgia or down to the Alabama Gulf Coast. We can't wait to become even more involved in this beautiful community."

Buc-ee's Auburn will bring 200 new jobs to the area with starting pay well above minimum wage, full benefits, a 100% matching 401k up to 6%, and three weeks of paid vacation.

Campworks NS-1

Smallest Model of Highest Efficiency of Living

Campworks, designer of the World's First Fully Electric RV, the NS-1, withdraws from RV Market, electing to pioneer the Save The World Industry instead. Kristian Rene, Campworks Director of Community and Communication, states, "It has come to our attention that there are two impressive new players in the RV market, determined to electrify the industry. They come to the table with bigger battery banks, and a determination to dominate this market on an outdated premise that bigger is better."

Campworks began production of the world's first fully electric RV / teardrop trailer in early 2020. They have since redesigned their "Nomadic System," to be the first personal, mobile infrastructure with power capable of recharging an electric vehicle, anywhere in the world. The NS-1 operates at peak efficiency, requiring less battery power to accomplish tasks like heating and cooling, expanding the utility of the whole system far beyond a weekend away. "We are always maximizing efficiency, which is different than just switching from fossil fuels to electric under the illusion of less emissions. We are decreasing consumption without sacrificing output, productivity or access," Rene outlines, "and these design elements yield carbon-offsets and a tool for future building."

"We wanted to design a better system of living," Rene states. The Campworks NS-1 has an electrical system designed in partnership with the Navico Group, a division of Brunswick Corporation, utilizing the Fathom® e-power system, a complete lithium-ion power management system. "We needed an electrical system that operates the way a user expects from the grid. What we've learned is that people hate to be inconvenienced, the best products are ones that make life easier and more comfortable. We needed a partner who understood the ability to expand power access requires regeneration, thus literally and figuratively empowering the individual user; an individual who now owns and manages their own infrastructure."

The Campworks team share expertise in environmental science and design, field medicine and scientific research, agriculture and global supply chain, off road / track racing, and automotive mechanics and tuning. Their interdisciplinary backgrounds brought them to the conclusion that if they want to save the world, they must integrate the best technologies available into a singular system. According to Rene, "We chose the camper platform because it's the smallest habitable space and most people understand it's meant to be recreational; we believe the future has to be fun and the work has to be worth doing if we want to see progress. We then modeled new energy storage and generation around one person world-building. We integrated heating and cooling, air purification, and water filtration and we optimized, then packaged, these processes into an autonomous, thermodynamically outstanding container. This is biophilic design at its best and it offers an experience that connects with, and helps to rebuild, nature."

Campworks has bundled the essentials and programmed them to operate exactly as the user expects. This model provides the essentials of living and integrates methods to manage water, electricity and air, using less resources in an inspiring and effective methodology. "When using the NS-1, your energy and water use become a game. We've become so accustomed to resources being limitless that we've never learned to moderate our use," Rene explains. "The NS-1 interior UI/UX design cultivates behavior that, at this point, purely for fun and recreation, mimics MindCraft-style-living to create new patterns of resource use, which ultimately, transfer into home life, potentially reducing consumption and waste generation unilaterally."

"Our next steps include scaling this model into larger applications including forest service, farming and ranching, and environmental studies," Rene outlines. "If we can work on climate change mitigation in a recreational format, we stand a chance of creating a new culture that's highly proactive and actually moving towards net-zero. We're not dreaming of the great American road trip. That's an old story that ends after a week. We're traveling the long-haul."

QsrSoft Wins \"Great Place To Work\" Award

98% of employees at QsrSoft say it's a great place to work!

QsrSoft is proud to be Certified™ by Great Place to Work® for 2023. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at QsrSoft. This year, 98% of employees said it's a great place to work - 41% higher than the average U.S. company. 

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation. 

"Great Place to Work Certification™ isn't something that comes easily - it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience," said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. "It's the only official recognition determined by employees' real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that QsrSoft is one of the best companies to work for in the country." 

"We're honored to be recognized as a Great Place to Work ™ by our dedicated team," said QsrSoft Founder and Owner, Michael Henkel. "Our team members are like family, and we strive to make their experience as positive as our customer's. We believe that creating an engaging workplace environment, both in-person and remote, builds a stronger, more cohesive team. And it's this team that is responsible for the successes we've enjoyed as a company." 

QsrSoft offers many employee benefits that contribute to the high morale and engagement of their workforce. These benefits include flexible work, like remote and hybrid options. The company also hosts regular special occasion events, both in person and virtually, to keep the team connected. Events include employee appreciation celebrations, fitness challenges, book clubs and trivia contests. As a company, QsrSoft supports charities like the Ronald McDonald House Charities and Mission Lazarus. Employees are given the opportunity to volunteer in person and attend charity events, with enthusiastic response. And workplace challenges, like the company's recent Hackathon event, let their employees get creative and receive recognition for original ideas, which will eventually become QsrSoft products. Employee benefits and programs like these are why the company has seen minimal turnover (less than 5%) in the past two years of the Great Resignation.  

According to Great Place to Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company's profits and have a fair chance at promotion.
