Buc - ee’s is interested in coming to Goodyear . The world - famous travel center , beloved by patrons for its beaver mascot , massive footprint , unique snacks and cleanliness is seriously considering Goodyear as its first location in Arizona and the western United States . The proposed location would be on the southeast corner of Bullard Avenue and Interstate 10 . At Monday night’s city council meeting , the Goodyear City Council approved rezoning the site , another important needed step toward the project becoming reality .
“I’m thrilled that Buc - ee’s is interested in Goodyear as a new location , ” said Goodyear Mayor Joe Pizzillo . “It’s more than just a gas station or a convenience store . Buc - ee’s could 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 . It would be a popular stop for visitors in the Valley , including spring training fans . ”
Buc - ee’s has a massive following and has become a selfie spot of sorts , priding 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 would generate revenue in Goodyear which contributes to the city’s General Fund to support key city services like public safety and parks .
“We are happy to hear of the city’s decision tonight . Buc - ee’s is continuing its process toward making Goodyear our first home in Arizona , and this was a really big step toward that goal , ” said Stan Beard , Buc - ee’s director of Real Estate and Development .
The proposed Goodyear travel center would 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 would 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 .
