**Goodyear Buc-ee’s Set to Open in 2026, Marking Arizona Debut**
The much-anticipated arrival of Buc-ee’s in Arizona has been officially announced, and with it comes more than just a typical gas station experience. The future Goodyear Buc-ee’s, located at the southeast corner of I-10 and Bullard Avenue, will feature an impressive 120 gas pumps and a massive 74,000-square-foot retail space.
Slated to open in June 2026, the location recently broke ground and promises to deliver Buc-ee’s signature blend of convenience and culinary offerings. Open 24 hours a day, the store will serve up a wide variety of refreshments including hot coffee, cold fountain drinks, and an extensive selection of snacks.
What really sets Buc-ee’s apart, however, is what’s found beyond the typical convenience store fare. Guests can expect a jerky bar, freshly baked pastries, homemade fudge, and Texas-style barbecue that’s carved to order. The brand has become famous for its made-fresh foods, extensive retail space, and unique charm.
Buc-ee’s was founded in Texas in 1982 by Arch Aplin, who named the store after his childhood nickname, “Beaver,” and his dog, “Buck.” Since then, the chain has grown to more than 50 locations nationwide and has developed a passionate following. Fans often travel hours just to buy popular items like Beaver Nuggets and to snap a photo with the iconic beaver mascot.
Arizona’s first Buc-ee’s is expected to be a major travel stop and a regional attraction, drawing visitors from across the state and beyond.
