Arizona’s 70-Year-Old Triple-T Truck Stop in Tucson Secures Its Future After $8.25 Million Sale Keeps Landmark Open
TUCSON, ARIZONA — One of southern Arizona’s most recognizable truck stops will remain open after a recent sale ended months of uncertainty about its future. The Triple-T Truck Stop in Tucson, a more than 70-year-old landmark along East Benson Highway, has been sold for $8.25 million and will continue operating under new ownership.
Sale Ends Months of Uncertainty for Historic Truck Stop
The Triple-T Truck Stop, located near Interstate 10, had been listed for sale last year at $10 million, raising concerns among drivers and locals about whether the long-standing business would close. Earlier this month, the property was officially purchased for $8.25 million by Satguru Enterprises III LLC, securing its continued operation. The sale comes after the original family owners decided to sell the property following their relocation out of Tucson.
New Owners Confirm Truck Stop Will Stay Open
According to the new owners, the Triple-T will continue operating as a truck stop, preserving its core services for truck drivers who rely on the location for fuel, parking, and rest.
Planned renovations are expected to include adding fuel pumps for passenger vehicles, while maintaining the essential services that have defined the stop for decades.
Reputation Built on Reliability and Community
Drivers who frequent the Triple-T say its reputation is rooted in reliability, familiarity, and community, rather than size or modern branding. Longtime truckers describe it as a dependable stop that has remained consistent while much of the trucking industry has shifted toward larger, more corporate-style travel centers. Many say the friendly service and straightforward layout have kept the Triple-T relevant through generations of drivers.
A Landmark That Means More Than Fuel
For many in the trucking community, the Triple-T represents more than just a place to refuel. Its long history along one of southern Arizona’s key travel corridors has made it a familiar and trusted stop, setting it apart from newer truck stops across the region. The decision to keep the Triple-T open has been welcomed by drivers who value its history and atmosphere.
