Buccees definitely coming - golden opportunity

[BeauCajun]

You might be onto something. A nutria.

Popcorn anyone?

Try Beaver Nuggets instead.

Try Beaver Nuggets instead.

those are the best

always get a couple 3 bags every time we stop

wife loves the large and immaculately clean restrooms

50 gas filling stations so always one available and price of gas is always competitive

so much stuff to browse and great sandwiches

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

[HelmutVII]

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.

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.

Yes, we’d drive across town for a ‘tammage.

Walmart makes their own decisions. They base their decisions on demographics and local sales data like all major retail groups. Blaming others is useless.

“Inventory shrinkage” wasn’t a secret with the thruway Walmart. Part of the “analytics” sited for the closing.

The home Depot on the thruway has just about every tool over 20 bucks locked up or behind a cage. .

Sam's has just installed an overhead scanner at the exit door

It's kind of depressing

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.

I was helping a client build a house a few years ago. His framing carpenter was using his nail gun when, all of a sudden, it quit working. The carpenter went to the front of the house and saw his air compressor was stolen. I said that's a hell of a thing, here is this guy trying to make a living and some low life steals his air compressor sad sad sad.

This is just one operation busted this year.

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.

This Academy employee got fired for trying to stop a thief

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

The traditional, sweet nuggets are awesome, but these are downright addictive.

[CajunVic]

love me some Buc-ee’s Nuggets

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

Yeah, that might not work anymore for you.
