Bucc-ees pays $20 per hour for employees that are assigned to clean the restrooms! The Managers make $150,000 - $225,000 per year! Obviously all other employees are paid an above average wage for that type of work. Not to mention the matching funds in their 401K program, paid vacation, etc. They have a tremendous business model and Lafayette would be fortunate to get a store located within the parish.
Great Lafayette will get a BucKees but ain’t where I stop ever again. Too many damn people and traffic. lol.
Was a topic at supper tonight. Politicians that pushed for any development at this interchange need to get the word out in the community don’t blow this like Walmart. Walmart closing was straight up on their constituents. With Buc-ee’s you’ve hit a mother lode.Quote:

if you need to find a nice Nick Nack for a friend or helper or family back home you can usually find something for anyone
just a great concept to utilize when you are traveling
I would never go to one in Lafayette because it is just not designed for any need which I would have that close to home
it’s just not what it is for
Never went to one. I would go out of curiosity or if I needed gas. It will help the shopping center across the interstate too. If they stop at Bucees and see a target, jc Penney and academy across the way they may go there too.
Walmart makes their own decisions. They base their decisions on demographics and local sales data like all major retail groups. Blaming others is useless.Quote:

I went to Walmart in Carencro to get a replacement bulb for the turn indicator on my wife's vehicle. All of the vehicle bulbs are locked up in a glass shelving unit. Strange times.Quote:

This is just one operation busted this year.Quote:

There was a bust in Chicago that made this one look like chump change. Allegedly had a storefront for new tools on the dark web.
Home Depot and Lowes instruct their employees not to stop thieves due to liability and thieves take advantage.Quote:

it’s infuriating
It’s going to get to the point retailers will look at the security at places like Jarad’s Jewelers as models.Quote:

I hate that this store is going to be at the Louisiana Ave exit since its the exit I use when I come to LafayetteQuote:

The exit of of the east bound interstate is a three lane exit. West bound exit is 2 lane. Louisiana Avenue is a four lane boulevard with dedicated turning lanes. East pont des mouton road is also a 4 lane boulevard for a portion of the frontage. They constructed a 3 lane Upper Lafayette Parkway out side of controlled access and parallel to the east bound exit. I think this should be more than adequate to handle traffic for the Buc-ees.Quote:

Some people are crazy about nothing. Buc-cees the largest convenience store in America. LOL!!!Quote:
