50 largest local businesses in the Lake Charles Area. Any notable omissions?

It's a joke list for many reasons.

The list is mostly just people who advertise on a regular basis with Lagniappe.

My business would be on that list, as would some of my friends if we all actually reached out and asked to be in the Lagniappe magazine

The biggest reason I know it's bullshite is that there isn't a single large contractor on there, despite a company like Keiland, which does a ton of multi-million dollar projects every year.

Southlad Coins and Collectables, 6 employees, $75-$100M

What they collecting?

Darrell’s has to bump those sandwiches numbers up baw

Roach Law Firm? Why would an insect need a lawyer?

Cajun Industries down at the port, Alfred Palma, Trahan Construction, PAR group, Arkel, Fontenot Construction, Lewing…and I’m forgetting some, but those guys pretty much rebuilt Lake Charles after the hurricane

Them as well as Thrive (as I’m sure most free magazines are). Thrive’s 40 under 40 list is either people who advertise with them or friends of the management staff. I guess they have to do what they have to do to keep the money coming in. Ron Richard may own a portion of both with as much money as he spends advertising.

I know of multiple businesses that would be in that would be towards the top of that list. Like someone else said, no contractors is a dead giveaway.

I see nobody named Lawton.

The top two on the list are worthy, of being on the list

the rest is shite

i can think of at least 10 not on there but right off the top

bolton?? they have 5 dealerships

stout mentioned Keiland, that is just one of many contractors not on the list.

list is dog shite
