Phoenix, AZ – Construction of Arizona’s first Buc-ee’s convenience megastore is well underway, with new fuel lines and underground tanks now installed on the property, according to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ).
ADEQ crews recently conducted an inspection focused on the fuel piping connected to the Underground Storage Tank (UST) system, ensuring compliance with state environmental safety standards. In a shared update, the agency confirmed that gas pump lines are now being installed, marking one of the final infrastructure phases before exterior work and interior construction ramp up.
According to ADEQ, the UST permits have been approved, and the department will continue to oversee the installation to ensure environmental and public safety. The upcoming Buc-ee’s—known for its massive fueling stations, clean restrooms, and signature snacks like brisket sandwiches and Beaver Nuggets—will be Arizona’s first location of the Texas-based chain.
The new travel stop is expected to officially open to drivers in 2026, though a specific month has not yet been announced.
