That’s a bold move with lots of $$$ invested. I’ve lived in Laffy since 1987 and the locals are very finicky about dining establishments. If the investors are local with strong ties to the community, they’ll receive support. If the owners are not from here, it’s gonna be a tough hill to climb. Lafayette is a food town that can be difficult to survive long term.

This is what I’ve been waiting for since the day I left BR.

Lafayette people drive to Baton Rouge to eat at PF Chang’s. Says a lot.

Pretty sure Scout owns the land and will develop it for commercial use. Chimes will sign a long term lease of 5-10+ yrs with monthly notes close to $35,000 per. That doesn’t include the building costs. If Chimes defaults on the lease agreement or doesn’t succeed Scout still owns the property and land.
My friend who brought Mellow Mushroom to Laffy lost his azz on that deal. They showed a profit for the first 4 months and everything thereafter was in the red. He was fortunate and got out of the lease agreement to the Judice family when Drago’s bought the building and took over the lease.

No offense intended, but I am 100% sure that you are incorrect. The Chimes group already owns the acreage tract. Just setting things straight

Appreciate the clarification. Scout has that property listed as available lease development. Did not see it listed as sold. My bad

No worries. The Chimes group bought the property in late 2018. I'm just trying to correct misinformation in a non-OT fashion.
Posted on 2/12/20 at 9:20 pm to Degas
Do people from Baton Rouge really think Chimes is good food?

Traffic isn’t bad if you live in that area

Only time traffic is bad is at amb/Kaliste between 5 and 5:30

Right, and you can avoid that intersection by using Settlers Trace, or possibly Verot (not sure if that intersection sucks because I rarely go that way).
