In the animal world it may be that no two beavers are the same but semi-aquatic rodent diversity does not extend to the world of the convenience store, at least according to Buc-ee’s.

The Texas-based legends of convenience store bathrooms and beef jerky have issued a trademark infringement lawsuit against beaver rivals Frio Beaver, a new store opened in Concan, Texas.

The suit, filed in federal court earlier this month, contends that the new store is attempting to trade off Buc-ee’s success by copying its logo and store concept.
