by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor Happy Friday, Acadiana business news readers. It's business news time to wrap up this short week. HTeaO, a Texas-based iced-tea franchise, could open a location in Lafayette near River Ranch. Owners of the property at 1606 Kaliste Saloom Road were granted a variance last month by Lafayette Consolidated Government’s Board of Zoning Adjustments to build at the location despite not meeting the frontage buildout requirements due to a billboard and other constraints on the lot that is just over half an acre, documents show. It's a pretty popular brand right now with ambitious growth plans for the coming year. If it opened tomorrow, it would be its first location in Louisiana. But who knows -- there might be other locations farther along in the process somewhere else. You can read the full story here. Have a great weekend and thanks for reading. |
