Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday attended the groundbreaking of Arkansas' first Buc-ee's convenience store on Interstate 30 in Benton.
The big picture: To call a Buc-ee's convenient is a stretch. These sites have more in common with a Walmart Supercenter than a Casey's.
💭Worth's thought bubble: Buc-ee's is a uniquely American encapsulation of overindulgence — custom snack foods, beaver-branded swag and isles of … stuff.
Like a motorist who can't stop looking at the wreck on the side of the road, I had to stop at a Buc-ee's on a recent trip out west.
It was entertainment more than anything, and I think that's the ironic goal of the owners.
Yes, but: They have the largest and best-equipped bathrooms I've ever seen. Anywhere. Ever.
The bottom line: I'm not familiar with the intersection in Benton where this Buc-ee's will be built, but it's bound to be a must-see stop once the store is complete.
