As Buc-ee’s heads for Ruston, here’s what it’ll take to bring one to south Louisiana

by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor​ ​ ​

Good morning, Acadiana business news readers. Let's get down to business.

Buc-ee's is coming to Louisiana when it plans to open a location along Interstate 20 in Ruston likely in two years, and the news couldn't help but raise the hope once more that south Louisiana could one day have one built along I-10.

To be clear, one isn’t coming anytime soon. Buc-ee’s officials were mum on future new locations, which have exploded since the 2016 breakdown.

South Louisiana has the tools needed to reel in a location, real estate experts said: plenty of large plots near an interstate with enough traffic volume to justify the investment. A tax incentive package also helped Ruston’s case, though no such efforts are seemingly underway here.

You can read the full story here. 

Have a great day and thanks for reading.
