Arizona’s first Buc-ee’s arrived in Goodyear with huge fanfare, bringing with it enormous crowds, statewide attention and a new destination for in-state and out-of-state travelers. But long before opening day, city leaders were working behind the scenes to prepare for what would become one of the region’s most talked-about economic development projects.

In this episode Tom and Gina sit down with Goodyear Mayor Joe Pizzillo to discuss how Buc-ee’s chose Goodyear, the city’s role in bringing the project to life and what it takes for local government to prepare for major growth.

Listen to what the final tally of people was on opening day and hear first-hand all about Buc-ee's employee benefits. Plus, hear if the brisket or the fudge are the mayor’s Buc-ee’s favorites!
