Spotlight on Butterfield Station DQ® & Travel Center

  This month we shine the spotlight on our Butterfield Station DQ® & Travel Center.  This store is located just about 20 miles west of Deming, NM along I-10 at exit 62.  In fact, here is a map to help you have a good idea of the store's location.

  The store was originally built in 1973.  Back then it was actually called Bowlin's Teepee Store.  The center section of the store was actually shaped like a Teepee.  As you can see from this old newspaper clipping- it also featured a Baskin Robbin's.  In 1989 the store was rebuilt to the current design (see top image).  The Baskin's was replaced with a full service DQ® Restaurant®.

  Interestingly enough, that same DQ® Restaurant® serves a full breakfast menu everyday from 7am-11am.  You would be hard pressed to find a better breakfast along this stretch of highway.  If you've got a morning hunger, try our Big-ol' Breakfast Burrito.  It is sure fix your hunger!

  Of course, we also have a full store of great gift items.  Whether you are looking for simple souvenir items or interesting gift ideas, chances are we have what you are looking for.  Do you like Native American Handcrafted items?  Guess what, you'll find it here.  We've got everything from Jewelry to Kachinas.  Just check out these sample images.

  So, as you travel the great southwest this summer, stop by our Butterfield Station DQ® and Travel Center.    Don't forget your B-backer card or key chain.  After all, that is your gateway to savings on your gift items or DQ® purchases.  We sure look forward to meeting you or for that matter- seeing you again!

Its Independence Day Weekend!

This Sunday, we as a nation, celebrate our independence.  I think it is fitting that this year's Independence Day falls on a Sunday.  It gives us the opportunity to reflect on all that we have done as a country and the sacrifices made to maintain our freedom.  But, it also gives us the opportunity to thank God for blessing this great nation in our various houses of worship.  

Along with this celebration is the age old tradition of fireworks.  I still look back on my childhood with fond memories of my family coming together, having a cookout and lighting fireworks.  Bowlin's has a long history of selling some of the best fireworks on the planet. Seven out of our ten stores sell fireworks all year long.  However, this time of the year is by far the busiest.  I have a map below to show you where each of these fireworks stores are located. 

You'll notice, they are all located in New Mexico, since Arizona does not allow fireworks in their state.  All but one of our New Mexico stores sells the full menu of available fireworks.  Only our Old West Trading Post store location (#4 on the map) is limited to "Safe and Sane" fireworks due to local county ordinance.  "Safe and Sane" fireworks are generally the type that only stay on the ground such as Fountains, Ground Spinners, Sparklers and various other novelty type items.

As I mentioned earlier- the remainder of our stores sell the full menu of consumer fireworks that are allowed by law.  That includes the amazing 500 gram fireworks, such as the multiple shot aerial (as shown below).  Each of these fireworks contain the maximum powder allowed by law.  They are truly amazing and are a must this 4th of July!  We also have a full compliment of Firecrackers, Rockets, and re-loadable mortar style fireworks.  You are sure to find a huge selection.  By the way, did I mention that we have some of the best prices on the planet too?  Because we sell fireworks all year 'round we are able to buy low and pass those savings on to our customers.  That means you get the best BANG for your buck (pardon the pun- just couldn't help it)!  You really won't find better deals or better selection anywhere else.   While some may say they'll give you "Buy One, Get One" deals- don't be fooled.  Usually it is only on certain items AND they mark the prices WAAAYYY up!  Don't forget, if you are a B-backer you automatically get 10% off your purchase when you present your B-backer Card or Key Chain.  There is still plenty of time to get out to our stores and pick up your arsenal of FIREPOWER!  So, come on down and let the celebration begin!
