In the Jack Link’s store, the second one in the nation, fans of the beef jerky brand can buy assorted merchandise such as T-shirts and cozies with different Jack Link’s logos and slogans.
The first Red Bull lounge in the U.S. also calls the travel center home, offering fans of the energy drink the ability to purchase Red Bull merchandise in person, as it was previously only available online. The lounge features a work station where those on the go can plug in and carry out some work on their laptop computers and a cellphone charging locker, where customers can securely charge their phones while they browse the store.
A 4,000-square-foot candy store set open by the end of July will feature old-fashioned nostalgic candy in bulk such as Bottle Pops, Bazooka Bubble Gum, candy necklaces, Chick-o-sticks, gum drops, licorice, Push Pops and more. Customers can also create their own custom assortment of Skittles via a limited-edition vending machine.
An Advance Auto Parts boutique, featuring over 500 items compatible with most car makes and models is also set to open by the end of the month.
Road House aims to offer hard-to-find snacks and items customers are unfamiliar with. “We’ll test a lot of things and see what people’s needs are,” Walters said.
Among the test products will be a yogurt station where robots serve frozen treats and a Coca-cola freezing station, which can produce a frosty Coke product in 20 seconds.
For those who didn’t get the chance to nab a Las Vegas-affiliated sports team item while in town, there is an official merchandise section for the Vegas Golden Knights gear and the soon-to-be Las Vegas Raiders.
The travel center offers 15 slot and video poker machines, featuring the latest slot games. For the children, arcade rides are located in the candy shop.
An augmented reality area will also entertain guests of all ages.
Despite opening last week, word of mouth is already spreading.
After friends told them about it, Sarah Waller, traveling last week with her family from Southern California to Las Vegas, said they had to check it out.
“My son is a huge sunflower-seed connoisseur, so he loved the selection. He got the bacon ranch flavor, which he said were the hardest ones to find,” Waller said. “We can’t wait for the White Castle to open.”
The Wallers were so impressed with Terrible’s Road House that they plan to make it a regular stop when they travel to and from Southern California.
“My son said this is the No. 1 reason to come to Vegas now,” she said.
