The first customer showed up around 4 p.m. Saturday, waiting along the street with a chair and umbrella. Another fan arrived with a fresh tattoo of the chain\u2019s beloved beaver mascot.<\/p>\n<p>The parking lot quickly filled with cars as customers searched for spots and prepared to spend money on Buc-ee\u2019s food, snacks and merchandise.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Minutes before the opening, fans began chanting \u201cBuc-ee\u2019s\u201d through the doors as employees inside prepared brisket, barbecue and Beaver Nuggets.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t attend or don\u2019t want to fight through traffic, the ribbon-cutting is set to be live-streamed on the City of Goodyear\u2019s social media channels.<\/p>\n<div>\n<nav><span><span><\/p>\n<div><span>Autoplay<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><\/span><\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What if I need to access another business along the travel route?<\/h2>\n<p>Businesses, residents and travelers should expect to see a major traffic increase for an extended time.

City officials will monitor traffic conditions in real-time for any needed adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the Buc-ee\u2019s travel route, the eastbound I-10 ramp at Estrella Parkway is closed, along with Bullard between McDowell Road and I-10.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s the big deal about Buc-ee\u2019s?<\/h2>\n<p>Buc-ee\u2019s is widely regarded for its lovable beaver mascot and hot food. The chain also currently boasts the record for the largest gas station in the world at its Sevierville, Tennessee, location. Not only that, but Buc-ee\u2019s has won \u201cBest Restroom in America,\u201d and if you want to operate a car wash, you can make enough to make a six-figure salary.<\/p>\n<p>What else might you find at Buc-ee\u2019s? There are walls of nuts, gummy candies and your favorite gas station snacks, but there are also many things you won\u2019t see anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p>Take, for example, Beaver Nuggets, a best-seller that\u2019s probably best described as a sweet version of \u201cCorn Nuts\u201d you\u2019ll find at the grocery store. And the food? Oh man, the food! It\u2019s authentic Texas-style barbeque the whole way: smoked for at least 12 hours and served on a mouth-watering bun.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling adventurous? Get some Buc-ee\u2019s-branded hot sauce to take home. If you\u2019re also looking for something to cater to that sweet tooth, you\u2019ve got fudge, Dr. Pepper Icees and every southern grandmother\u2019s favorite classic: banana pudding.<\/p>\n<p><i>See a spelling or grammatical error in our story? <\/i><i>Please click here to report it<\/i><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Do you have a photo or video of a breaking news story?
