After months of speculation about when customers would be able to walk through the doors, officials have now confirmed the opening date for Arkansas’s first Buc-ee’s location.
The highly anticipated travel center will be located in Benton at Exit 114 near Haskell and is expected to bring 250 new jobs to the area.
Construction has been underway for several months following the announcement of the project, which was first unveiled at the 2024 Salt Bowl.
The company confirmed the store will hold its grand opening on Aug. 17, 2026.
Buc-ee’s is known for its large-scale convenience stores, food offerings and extensive fueling stations, and the Benton location will mark its first entry into Arkansas.
