I’m guessing that this store was in Arkansas. Anyone know the town?

Rogers, Arkansas. Started as a "five and dime" on July 2, 1962. The store later expanded and relocated to another area in Rogers but the original store still serves a a visitor center.
Below is what the store looked like 10 years later (after the relocation). "Alone Again (Naturally)" by Gilbert O'Sullivan was playing in some of those car radios at the time.

That was his store in Bentonville which he opened in the 50’s after losing the
lease on a location in Newport, Ak. That location is now the Walmart Museum.
In 1962 he opened the first Walmart in Rogers Ak and the rest is history.
