Buc-ee’s fans rejoice, it is official! A rezoning request has been granted by the City of Goodyear, which will allow for the construction of a Buc-ee’s Travel Center in Goodyear.
According to the city of Goodyear, Buc-ee’s, the popular Texas-based store, has officially finalized the acquisition of the land located at the intersection of Bullard Avenue and Interstate 10 in Arizona.
In a statement released by Goodyear Mayor Joe Pizzillo said, “This is huge milestone for the project and I couldn’t be more excited that Buc-ee’s has chosen Goodyear,” said Goodyear 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 – which are more options – and that’s what they’ll get as our city continues to grow.”
Buc-ee’s has a massive following and has prides itself for having the world’s largest convenience store and the cleanest restrooms in America. It’s known for being a one-stop-shop, where customers can stop to fuel up – and at some locations charge their EV and get a car wash — and pick up breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as party supplies and kitchenware. Unique items that customers can find at Buc-ee’s include smoked brisket, Beaver Nuggets, fudge and never-ending options at the “wall of beef jerky.” The company also often sources its products from local vendors and artisans in an effort to represent the local community. Buc-ee’s has become a destination for travelers, and will generate revenue in Goodyear which contributes to the city’s General Fund to support key city services like public safety and parks.
The Goodyear travel center will have 120 fueling stations for passenger vehicles only (no tractor trailers/semi-trucks) with an approximately 74,000-square-foot convenience store, and would measure about 23% larger than a football field. Buc-ee’s Goodyear will bring more than 200 full-time jobs to the area, with starting pay beginning well above minimum wage, full benefits, a 6% matching 401k, and three weeks of paid vacation. Buc-ee’s travel centers are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
