GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Arizona residents got their first taste of Buc-ee's most popular treats ahead of the store opening in Goodyear.
The City of Goodyear posted a video of residents trying everything from Beaver Nuggets to lemon pepper jerky on their social media accounts.
"Thumbs up!"
"Very tasty!"
"I thought it was excellent."
Those were just a few reviews of some of the one-of-a-kind treats the mega convenience store offers.

Known for its award-winning clean bathrooms, all Buc-ee's operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The store will serve Buc-ee’s favorites including Beaver Nuggets, Texas barbeque, fudge, kolaches, jerky and pastries.
The Goodyear travel center will have 120 fueling stations for passenger vehicles only with a convenience store measuring 23% larger than a football field. The store would bring more than 200 full-time jobs to the area, the company said, with starting pay beginning well above minimum wage, full benefits, a 6% matching 401k, and three weeks of paid vacation.
The company said it also often sources its products from local vendors and artisans to represent the local community.
The famous convenience store is expected to bring in 100,000 people every week, which is the same amount of people who currently live in Goodyear.
Business Insider recently ranked Buc-ee's fifth for highest-paying entry-level retail jobs across the country.
The new Buc-ee's will be located near Bullard Avenue and Interstate 10. It is expected to open in the Spring or Summer of 2025, Goodyear officials said.
