Popular mega-gas station chain Buc-ee’s opened up their first location in Arizona this week, bringing their nationwide total to 56 locations across 13 states.

Their newest location in Goodyear, Arizona boasts 120 gas pumps on a 74,000-square foot property near Interstate 10 and Bullard Avenue.
What they're saying:
Stan Beard, Buc-ee’s director of real estate development, said in a statement, "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."
