Conn’s building distribution center in West Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge Business Report

Conn’s Inc. Chairman and CEO Norm Miller and Gov. John Bel Edwards today announced the Houston-based specialty retailer of furniture, mattresses, home appliances and electronics will open a 250,000-square-foot distribution center in West Baton Rouge Parish.

Conn’s HomePlus will be the major tenant in a new distribution complex to be built on Commercial Drive between the Port Allen and Lobdell exits along Interstate 10.

The Conn’s distribution center is the first of two potential logistics facilities on the 34-acre Commercial Drive site. CAP Industrial Park I is seeking other tenants while completing design work for a potential second distribution building of up to 270,000 square feet.


The jobs are a very welcome addition, but the increased truck traffic on an already obsolete portion of I-10 and I-12 will suck.

I went one once. Just that one time. It was enough, that one time.

They must be planning to sit there and watch the parking lot, because they're not going to get far.

I wouldn't think it will even be a noticeable increase in traffic

It’s hard to distribute if the trucks are stuck in traffic all day
