Id imagine either hednerson or like gonzales-ish would be good candidates.
I thought I read somewhere that their goal is to have a location every 100-150 miles along I-10. They have one at Baldwin Beach Express. They are putting one at the Menge exit near Gulfport. Working your way west, the next would be Baton Rouge/Denham/Walker (maybe even Hammond since you have I-55 and I-12) then Lake Charles as the next one that is open is in Baytown TX. That would make them all 100-150 miles apart.
I could be wrong though.

I was told that Bucees was too trashy for South Louisiana, after they selected Ruston first.

You are not wrong.
They have done research that especially during the day, most families need to stop after 2-2.5 hrs of driving for snacks and for the kids to pee. Thats about 150 miles or so depenidng on traffic conditions.
Any closer than that, they run the risk of the stores stealing business from each other.

They’ll do that distance mainly/only within Texas. Other states, not so much. There could be multiple locations per state but Texas is where they may put them closer together.
