Coming Soon: Chubby's Truck Stop!
We lit it up for the first time last night — and it’s looking amazing!
Located right off I-40 and Arkansas Highway 1, Chubby’s will be the nicest and safest stop for truckers, travelers, and locals alike. Fuel up, grab a bite, and relax in a clean, friendly environment.
Stay tuned — we’re almost ready to open our doors!
