Billy Bob's Wonderland is a long-running, well-known FEC chain owned by Rex Donahue Jr. with its only currently remaining location at Barboursville, WV (5 Cracker Barrel Dr).

The remaining store is noted for being the last public places in the US and the world to view the Rock-afire Explosion, in addition to having a perpetual license for the characters - this being how they are able to use the Billy Bob character name and design in their branding.

History

Billy Bob's Wonderland originally opened in 1989, with the first location being in East Barboursville, Along with the East Barboursville location they had also opened a location in Clarksburg, WV both of which were former Showbiz Pizza Places that rebranded the exterior and interior to avoid Concept Unification. They later opened a third location in Ashland, KY, and all three locations combined in 2003 to become the larger location which they still reside in today at 5 Cracker Barrel Dr, Barboursville, WV 25504. As of April 2023, this is the last FEC in the United States where the Rock-afire Explosion is publicly viewable as all the others have been closed or are privately owned.
