Beaver logo showdown: Buc-ee’s sues Ohio shop over beaver emblem

Buc-ee’s has filed a trademark lawsuit against Beaver’s Mini Mart in Beavercreek, Ohio, over the use of a beaver logo after Beaver’s renamed from Hanes Road Carryout in early 2025. The case has sparked community support for the small shop, including local businesses adapting logos in solidarity and a GoFundMe that has raised tens of thousands of dollars to cover legal costs; Beavercreek officials also recognized the beaver as part of the city’s history. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine criticized the suit as absurd while Beaver’s Mini Mart’s owner, Vic Boparai, has not publicly addressed the merits of the lawsuit.
