BUC-EE’S TO BREAK GROUND ON NEW TRAVEL CENTER IN SMITHS GROVE, KY ON JUNE...

SMITHS GROVE WILL BE THE SMALLEST CITY IN THE COUNTRY WITH A BUC-EE'S

Buc-ee's, home of the world's cleanest bathrooms, freshest food and friendliest beaver, will break ground on its new travel center in Smiths Grove, Kentucky, on Monday, June 5, 2023. At 10:30 a.m. CST, Buc-ee's will celebrate the start of construction with a ceremony attended by local and state leaders who helped make the project possible. 

Buc-ee's Smiths Grove is the second Buc-ee's location in Kentucky. The first, Buc-ee's Richmond, opened in April of 2022.

Located at 4001 Smiths Grove-Scottsville Road, Buc-ee's Smiths Grove will occupy 53,471 square feet and offer 120 fueling positions. Buc-ee's favorites including Texas barbeque, homemade fudge, kolaches, Beaver Nuggets, jerky and fresh pastries will all be available. Visitors will find thousands of snack, meal and drink options, as well as the same award-winning restrooms, cheap gas, quality products and excellent service that have won the hearts, trust and business of millions in the South for 40 years.

Attendees of the Buc-ee's Smiths Grove groundbreaking ceremony will include Rocky Adkins, Senior Advisor to Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky; Mayor David Stiffey of Smiths Grove; Smiths Grove City Commissioners Bob Buehl, Buddy Marr, Steve Roney, and Eric Schroader; Warren County Judge-Executive Doug Gorman; and former Warren County Judge-Executive Mike Buchanon.

Founded in Texas in 1982, Buc-ee's operates 45 stores across Texas and the South. Since beginning its multi-state expansion in 2019, Buc-ee's has opened travel centers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Now, Buc-ee's is headed West with store groundbreakings in Colorado and Missouri.

"We are excited to be in Western Kentucky along a beautiful stretch of I-65 between Nashville and Louisville," said Stan Beard of Buc-ee's. "Smiths Grove will be the smallest town with a Buc-ee's. It has a big heart just like we do, so we'll get along just fine!" 

Throughout the project, the Buc-ee's development team will continue to work closely with local partners including the City of Smiths Grove, KYTC and Warren County. Buc-ee's Smiths Grove will bring at least 200 jobs to the area, with starting pay beginning well above minimum wage, full benefits, a 6% matching 401k, and three weeks of paid vacation.

OTA Insight Appoints Gregory Peppel as Head of Business Intelligence Products

OTA Insight, the global leader in cloud-based hospitality business intelligence, today announced the appointment of Gregory Peppel to the product leadership team. As the new Head of Business Intelligence (BI) Products, Gregory will play an instrumental role in advancing OTA Insight's BI solutions.

For over 15 years, Gregory has specialized in hospitality-centered product development, creating vertically-integrated SaaS BI products and cultivated high-performance product development teams. His background includes a successful tenure at Avero, where he contributed to the expansion of their F&B BI product into 12 of the top 15 largest global hotel brands.

The addition of Peppel to the OTA Insight team is another strategic move to reinforce the company's leadership position in the BI space. In his new role, Gregory will concentrate on driving innovation within OTA Insight's existing BI products: Revenue Insight and Spider, the latter of which was added to the OTA Insight product portfolio through last year's acquisition of Kriya RevGEN. Additionally, Gregory will help expand OTA Insight's BI capabilities by introducing new products that meet the demands of hotel commercial teams.

Bill Daviau, CEO of Kriya RevGEN, commented on the company's growth since merging with OTA Insight in April 2022, "We've experienced remarkable progress with our two revenue management-focused BI platforms, Spider and Revenue Insight. However, we've only just begun to tap into the potential of a comprehensive commercial BI platform."

"I've known Greg for over 15 years and knew he'd not only make an immediate impact on our business processes and product vision but also be an excellent cultural fit and liaison between Kriya RevGEN and OTA Insight. We're thrilled to integrate Spider into the overall OTA Insight platform later this year and continue to expand its capabilities in the future."

OTA Insight proudly serves over 60,000 hoteliers in 185 countries. Winner of the Best Rate Shopping & Market Intelligence Solution, Parity Management Software and Business Intelligence categories in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 HotelTechAwards, OTA Insight is widely recognised as a leader in hospitality business intelligence.
