GOODYEAR, AZ — Buc-ee's grand opening in Goodyear takes place on June 22, and the city is actively preparing for the event!

Buc-ee's first Arizona location is located near Bullard Avenue and the I-10 in Goodyear

The city of Goodyear shared that on June 22, the parking lot at Buc-ee's opens at midnight, with doors opening at 6 a.m., followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8 a.m.

TRAFFIC ROUTE

The West Valley city announced that a designated Buc-ee's travel route will be in effect on opening day and remain until traffic control is no longer needed. Drivers should “expect slow-moving to standstill traffic at times.” Here’s what to know:

  • The 6.5-mile route will loop through the city and lead directly into Buc-ee's parking lot.
  • All traffic to Buc-ee's must exit I-10 at Bullard Avenue, as both directions of the I-10/Bullard off-ramps will be designated solely for Buc-ee's access.
