Are there any places in Louisiana besides Ruston that can support a Bucee’s?

Just wondering why one hasn’t been installed on I-10 yet.

Also, are there any places that Buccees builds that are on a non-interstate highways such as regular federal highways? Maybe Hwy 90 in the Houma area could support one?

Imagine how glorious it would be if just 10 or so Bucee's employees went and worked at a Popeye's. All the spicy, no pulling up. No throwing hands.

I stopped at the first Bucee's on my way to fish a few days ago

Somewhere along I-12 in Livingston, Tangipahoa, or St. Tammany would be good. Growing area with tons of traffic and plenty of white trash to work there.

I couldn’t imagine the populated cities of St Charles, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Alexandria, and the North Shore area not being able to support a gas station.

Slidell…load up for your gulf coast trip after you get the hell out of the NOLA area.

Or for those coming from the East, load up for your trip out west so you won’t have to stop anywhere else in Louisiana.

Why is that Buccees so small? Looks like a 7/11. Defeats the purpose

To run a successful Buc-ee's you need a decent pool of employees to choose from who are going to be presentable, have good communication skills, professional, & are going to actually show up for work consistently. In the big picture in terms of Louisiana, Lincoln Parish is one of the only Parishes that fits these standards. It is the Western St. Tammany Parish of North Louisiana.

Tbh I don’t want one in Louisiana. I enjoy the novelty of stopping at one in TX or on the way to the beach

There should be one on the corner of I12 & I55. There is plenty of room and tons of traffic.

Anyplace along I-10 or I-12 or any interstate in LA could support a Bucee’s.

There are smaller ones inside Houston. Still big, but not the San Antonio/Baytown size.

Louisiana political stupidity cannot support a Bucees.

Define white trash. Then describe the ideal white person in your opinion.

When they supposed to break ground for the RSN one? I heard recently that the state now wants to do a traffic study on new interchange before it can start?! What a joke!

My money would be on the southeast quadrant of the Satsuma exit. About an hour away from the new one in Mississippi and about the only tract not already developed.

Whoever on the OT owns that needs to give Buc-ee's a call.

I’m sure there are quite a few. The population of Louisiana has the right diabetes profile to be right in Bucees wheelhouse and the people already enjoy living on gas station food. They’ll just need to start taking EBT if they don’t already.

West of Lake Charles along I-10 would be ideal to catch all the Texans heading to/from the casinos.

Buccee's Employees are not allowed any facial piercings, your nails can't be longer than 1/4 an inch, and no visible tattoos.

Pay is decent for the work. You won't be lollygagging

Believe Bucees was slated to open shop off I12 in BR but Louisiana political frickery killed the deal. Apparently Bucees thought more of this area than your wretched “consolation prize” of a location.
