Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to stop in Arkansas’ capital city Friday, according to Little Rock Tours and Travel.

Pence is set to participate in a health care listening session at 2:30 p.m. at the business, which is at 3100 Interstate 30 in Little Rock.

The company's co-owner, Gina Martin, said she found out Monday evening that Pence would be visiting. By Tuesday morning, a security team was scoping out the site.

It's been busy ever since, she said.

Pence will fly to Arkansas on Air Force Two, tour the business, meet with a small group and then give a speech before departing, she added.

Martin, who founded the company in 2003, is a longtime opponent of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

At a 2013 news conference in Washington, D.C., she described the negative effects the law has had on her business. Her critique of "Obamacare" was also quoted that year by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, in a speech that was published in the Congressional Record.

In a news release, the Republican Party of Arkansas said doors will open at noon for the event. Guests should park in the parking lot of Horace Mann Middle School, 1000 E. Roosevelt Road, and will be shuttled to Little Rock Tours and Travel, officials said.
