Benton, Arkansas – Buc-ee’s, a well-known rest stop, might be coming to Arkansas.
Members of the Benton advertising commission disclosed that Buc-ee’s’ owners had submitted a land bid for a potential new location.
Although the company’s offer has not guaranteed the opening of the travel center, the mere prospect has generated excitement.
“Oh awesome, I perk up, I get excited, I love buc-ee’s. I will fight the crowd. I mean, it’s not bad once you get in there,” said Robyn Parker, a long-time Buc-ee’s customer.
60% of the 5 million annual tourists would come from outside of the state, according to the city, if it were completed.
