That's OK by me! Next he needs to bring back Manuels Hot Tamales. He'll win in a landslide.

If he could that, i'd consider asking my daughter to vote for him (maybe)

but, is anyone else curious about the relocation into Jefferson Parish? wonder what kind of incentive was tied to that?

JBE thinks this will save him to get re-elected

yes its universally cheered but its not gonna save his arse or get him more votes

one good thing doesnt out way 4 years of total dimm cuckery and pandering

not to mention the actual result of creating jobs is nothing

quote:

The project initially will create 14 full-time direct jobs,

Louisiana Economic Development estimates the project will result in an additional 16 new indirect jobs,

for a total of 30 new jobs in the Southeast Region of Louisiana.

so wowee, 30 people will get a job

Coconut with a hot cup of coffee was always by favorite.
They are all good. I hope they are as close to the original as possible.

They don't actually have a location yet and no timeline.....I'm not 100% excited yet considering the owners haven't got their act together in over 7 years..,.

Agree! I don’t understand why wait so long to start again. Something does not make sense. I’m sure the building was paid off, the equipment was paid off, over the many years built up a nest egg. So why the delay?

What I am worried about is the increase cost to produce and now the facility needed. The price will not be as cheap as it was. I just hope it does not end up like McKenzies.

This was a family business, and not all of the family members agreed on how to proceed. Some may have just been satisfied with divvying up the insurance proceeds or have another reason to disagree. As long as the business was operating, they really couldn't do what they want. Once the company had almost no assets other than insurance proceeds, things changed.

I think this is the dynamic that doomed Manuel's Hot Tamales. I know that the owner's grandson registered the Manuels trade name with the Secretary of State's office several years ago. He was planning to open in Metairie. That's been about seven years since I found that and as yet, nothing.
