Here’s the headline of the Day:

The trendy mega travel center is expanding, mostly in the South.

And Here’s Our Quote of the Day from Buc-ee’s CEO Arch Aplin on why he’s expanding into Arkansas:

“We have a lot of opportunities. We’re growing. We’re building in a lot of places, but when you find a conservative, business-friendly state with a phenomenal workforce, it makes a difference… And I’m starting to realize life’s too short to try to build in places that people don’t appreciate what you’re bringing versus a place like this, where people do appreciate what you’re building.

“So that leadership, that concept, that idea of conservative, business-friendly, family-oriented concept works so much better if it trickles down from the very leadership… From the very top at the governor’s office, at the congressman, at the senator, at the mayor (and) the representatives.”
