Huber Heights Ohio Buc-Ee's
LAFAYETTE PARISH, LOUISIANA, JUL 11 – Construction of Lafayette's first Buc-ee's halted by design setbacks and ongoing poor weather, with work expected to resume soon, Triton said.
- Construction of Buc-ee's second Louisiana location in Lafayette began but is currently paused due to weather and design delays.
- The pause follows heavy rainfall and soil issues requiring re-grading and additional fill dirt, which has delayed site progress.
- Triton Construction, the general contractor, and the owner agreed to hold off work, while no conflicts exist between them.
- LEDA stated Buc-ee's plans an $82 million investment on a 74,000-square-foot store with 120 fuel pumps and 150–200 jobs, opening expected in 2026 with delays accounted for.
- The project promises significant economic benefits and ongoing tax revenue for Lafayette despite temporary setbacks in construction.
