Buc-ee's Breaks Ground In Lafayette

Construction is finally underway on a long-awaited Buc-ee's in Lafayette.

Gov. Jeff Landry attended Wednesday's groundbreaking ceremony along with Buc-ee's founder Arch "Beaver" Aplin and city officials.

The new travel center on I-10 at Louisiana Avenue will feature more than 100 gas pumps and nearly 700 parking spaces.

The massive store is expected to support the local economy with new jobs and sales tax revenues.
