Buc-ee's is Coming to Goodyear, Arizona: The West Just Got a Whole Lot Beaver!

Get ready, Goodyear! The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here. Buc-ee's, the beloved Texas-based travel center known for its iconic beaver mascot, delicious snacks, and pristine restrooms, is officially planting its flag in Arizona! The company's first-ever location in the Western U.S. is set to open its doors on the southeast corner of Bullard Avenue and Interstate 10 in Goodyear, and the excitement is palpable.

When news broke earlier this year that Buc-ee's was considering Goodyear, the response was electric. Fans across Arizona couldn't contain their excitement at the thought of finally having their own slice of Buc-ee's heaven. And now, with the purchase of the land officially closed, it's not just a dream—it's a reality!

"This is a huge milestone for the project, and I couldn't be more excited that Buc-ee's has chosen Goodyear," said Mayor Joe Pizzillo. "It's more than just a gas station or a convenience store. Buc-ee's will provide our residents with what they've been asking for—more options—and that's exactly what they'll get as our city continues to grow."

Buc-ee's isn't just any travel center; it's an experience. Known for having the world's largest convenience store and the cleanest restrooms in America, Buc-ee's has become a must-visit destination for travelers. From fueling up your car (and at some locations, even charging your EV) to indulging in mouthwatering treats like smoked brisket, Beaver Nuggets, and an endless variety of beef jerky, Buc-ee's has something for everyone. And let's not forget the famous "wall of beef jerky," a sight to behold for any meat lover!

But that's not all. Buc-ee's is committed to celebrating the local community, often sourcing products from local vendors and artisans. It's more than a place to fill your tank; it's a place to fill your heart with a sense of community and discovery.

The Goodyear location promises to be a game-changer, featuring 120 fueling stations for passenger vehicles (sorry, semi-truck drivers) and a massive 74,000-square-foot convenience store—about 23% larger than a football field! This behemoth of a store will operate 24/7, 365 days a year, bringing more than 200 full-time jobs to the area. And with starting pay well above minimum wage, full benefits, a 6% matching 401k, and three weeks of paid vacation, Buc-ee's is not just a great place to visit; it's a fantastic place to work.

So, mark your calendars and get ready to embark on a road trip like no other. Buc-ee's Goodyear is set to become the newest hotspot for food lovers, road warriors, and everyone in between. As Buc-ee's continues to expand its empire, Goodyear is poised to become the latest jewel in the crown of this iconic brand.
