Buc-ee's, the popular Texas-based travel center chain known for its massive convenience stores, kitschy style, and focus on cleanliness, has announced the opening date for its first Arizona location in Goodyear. The new 74,000-square-foot store, which will feature 120 fueling stations, is set to open on June 22, 2026.

Why it matters

The arrival of Buc-ee's in Arizona is a significant event, as the chain has developed a devoted following across the South and Southwest for its unique shopping experience. The new Goodyear location is expected to draw travelers from across the region and serve as an economic driver for the local community.

The details

Construction on the Goodyear Buc-ee's location began in October 2024 after the city council approved rezoning for the 22-acre property. The company purchased the former farmland for $17.24 million in March 2024. The new store will be slightly smaller than Buc-ee's largest location in Luling, Texas, but will still offer an expansive convenience store, abundant fueling stations, and the chain's signature focus on cleanliness and unique merchandise.
