Exterior of the Barboursville location, June 14, 2022



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 name and design in their branding.

History

Billy Bob's Wonderland originally opened in 1989, with the first location being in East Barboursville, which was a former Showbiz Pizza Place that rebranded the exterior and interior to avoid Concept Unification. They later opened a second location in Ashland, KY, and both 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 RockAfire Explosion is publicly viewable as all the others have been closed or are privately owned.
