Spotlight on Picacho Peak Plaza & Picacho Peak DQ® Travel Centers















This month we put our spotlight on our two store locations at Picacho Peak, AZ.  These stores are located on I-10AZ at exit 219, just about 45mi. west of Tucson, AZ.  This is a great stopping point about half way between Tucson and Phoenix.

Picacho Peak Plaza is the newest store in our Bowlin inventory.  Opened in 2005, it offers a state of the art shopping experience.  You will enjoy over 10,000sqft. of retail shopping area and even a large convenience store area.  You can sit down and enjoy a snack in our Food Court and catch up on all the latest news on our high def  television.  This store is filled with an enormous selection of wonderful southwest merchandise.  You can choose from a huge variety of Native American Handcrafted items, to gold jewelry, Mexican Imports, T-shirts and more.

Picacho Peak DQ® is our original store at the Picacho Peak facility.  Located directly across from Picacho Peak Plaza, it features a full service Dairy Queen® Restaurant and a great souvenir shopping area.  This is the perfect place to stop and have a bite to eat.  Whether you are just commuting between Tucson and Phoenix or you are on a fun road trip.  You just gotta stop in and relax, do some shopping and fill up your food tank.  We even offer a full service Breakfast from 7am- 11am seven days a week. That right there should be enough of an incentive to stop!  By the way- we've got the best darn breakfast burritos on the planet!  Can you say Mmmmm!  Both store locations offer 24 hr Pay at the Pump Shell fuel service.


Civil War in the Southwest: its still happening on March 13th &14th so don't forget about this great event.  In fact it could be the last Southwest Civil War reenactment for a really long time.  Unfortunately, Arizona is closing all but nine State Parks.  The Picacho Peak State Park is one of the casualties of the State's cutbacks.  So, you all have to come out and support this event.  You never know if it will happen again.  We'll keep you posted on any updates on this parks closure.  Hopefully, someone will have mercy and not shut it down.  It really is a great little place to visit.  In fact, they just finished a new visitor center there last year.  While your there visiting make sure you stop in and say hi at either or our two stores above.  Don't forget to bring along your B-backer Key Chain so you can receive you 10% discount.  That is just a great deal so take advantage of it.  Remember it works on FOOD & MERCHANDISE.

Cowboy Days: March 13th-14th & Come see us at Old West Trading Post

Another great event happening on March 13th and 14th is the "Cowboy Days" event.  It is the biggest annual event at the Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum located in Las Cruces, NM.  You can read more about it right here.  The Wild West will be brought to life through on-going activities like horseback and stagecoach rides, blacksmithing, dowsing, weaving/ sewing, Back Country Horsemen, milking demonstrations, children’s activities and crafts, branding, leather stamping, and more.  So, come on out and see what it was like back in the early days of the Wild West!


While you are visiting Las Cruces, NM and enjoying "Cowboy Days"- stop in and see us at our Old West Trading Post store location.  It is located just 17 miles west of Las Cruces, NM on I-10.  It is a wonderful place to stop and stretch yer legs and do some shopping for unique southwestern gifts.  You won't be disappointed with all this store has to offer.  Don't forget your B-backer key chain so you can get your 10% discount.
