Buc-ee’s is fueling up for a larger national expansion, with 15 additional travel centers in the pipeline as the Texas-based chain pushes its empire farther beyond its home state. 
The company opened its first Arizona location on Monday in Goodyear, a suburb of Phoenix, marking Buc-ee’s first stop in the Grand Canyon State and giving road-trippers another supersized destination for fuel, snacks and the chain's famously clean restrooms, according to USA Today. 
The 74,000-square-foot travel center features 120 fuel pumps and will operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 
The store is expected to create more than 200 jobs, and city officials said as many as 40,000 vehicles could visit during opening day and the following week, the outlet reported. 
BUC-EE'S SET TO DEBUT IN 6 NEW STATES IN MAJOR EXPANSION PUSH ACROSS US 
"We could not have picked a better location for our first store in the Grand Canyon State. 
Perfectly placed for our road-trippers headed out to California or coming in for the destination-rich Phoenix area, Goodyear will be the place to stop," Stan Beard, director of real estate development at Buc-ee's Ltd., said in a statement. 
Buc-ee’s, founded in 1982, has grown from a Texas roadside favorite into one of the state's most recognizable exports. 
The chain now has 56 locations across 13 states. 
More openings are already on the calendar for 2026. 
A Buc-ee’s spokesperson confirmed to FOX Business upcoming locations in San Marcos, Texas, on Aug. 
12; Benton, Arkansas, on Aug. 17; and Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on Nov. 
16.
