LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — Most of the recent news about the planned Buc-ee’s store in Lafayette has been bad, but construction has begun at the location.

According to KLFY+ partner
Developing Lafayette, the site, located just off I-10 at Louisiana Avenue, is active with dirt work and grading.
Triton Construction, the general contractor on the project, said in July that construction was on pause due to a combination of design delays and poor weather conditions. The store was originally expected to open in 2026, but the delays pushed back the timeline by two years.
The Lafayette location will encompass more than 74,000 square feet and will provide about 120 gas pumps, according to the Lafayette Economic Development Authority. The new travel center is also expected to create 150 jobs with pay starting at $17 per hour.
Buc-ee’s will spend $82 million on the project, with approximately $12.5 million for public infrastructure, LEDA said.
