Buc-ee’s launched its first Arizona travel center in Goodyear at 1001 N. Bullard Avenue. The 74,000-square-foot facility includes 120 fuel pumps and serves customer favorites including Texas barbecue, fudge, kolaches, jerky, pastries, and their very own Beaver Nuggets. Buc-ee’s CEO Arch “Beaver” Aplin III joined Goodyear Mayor Joe Pizzillo and City Manager Bryan Langley to celebrate the opening on Monday, June 22nd.

Reports say up to 75,000 visitors attended opening day, with about 1,000 people already lined up in the queue before the doors opened at 6:00 a.m.

The Goodyear location expands Buc-ee’s network to 56 stores nationwide and marks the brand’s debut in Arizona. Local leaders said that Buc-ee’s creates jobs, draw visitors, and supports continued economic growth.

Buc-ee’s operates mega travel centers known for clean restrooms, signature snacks, and unique merchandise. The chain has built a loyal following by transforming the traditional roadside stop into a destination. Most locations of the Texas-based 24-hour travel centers feature 100 to 120 fuel pumps, spacious parking, and expansive retail space, making Buc-ee’s a popular stop for road-trippers, families, and long-distance travelers across the country.
