FAYETTEVILLE, AR - Buc-ee’s, the Texas-based convenience store chain known for its massive size, clean restrooms, and extensive snack selection, is set to open a location in Benton, Arkansas.

As the chain looks to expand its footprint, several other Arkansas locations could be logical choices for future Buc-ee’s stores.

As the state capital and one of the most populous cities in Arkansas, Little Rock presents a prime location for a new Buc-ee’s.

According to the Arkansas Department of Transportation, positioned along major highways such as I-30 and I-40, Little Rock serves as a central travel hub that could attract both local residents and interstate travelers looking for a quick stop.

Home to the University of Arkansas and a rapidly growing population, Fayetteville and the surrounding Northwest Arkansas region would be a strategic location.

According to Data USA, the area has seen significant economic growth and has a strong market of students, residents, and tourists.

As another key city in Arkansas, Fort Smith offers access to travelers on I-540 and U.S. Route 71, according to the Arkansas Department of Transportation.

With its proximity to the Oklahoma border, a Buc-ee’s location here could draw visitors from both states.

Positioned right on the Texas-Arkansas border, Texarkana is an appealing option for expansion. The city's unique position allows Buc-ee’s to attract customers from two states, leveraging its brand presence in Texas to capture a new market in Arkansas.

These locations offer high traffic, strong growth potential, and regional significance, making them logical candidates for Buc-ee’s future expansion efforts in Arkansas beyond the upcoming Benton store.
