After much anticipation and speculation, Buc-ee's announced they are, in fact, opening their first location in Louisiana.  Ruston Mayor Ronny Walker told KEEL News Tuesday morning:

"This is a tremendous project. We are so grateful that Buc-ee's has decided to locate its first travel center in the state here in Ruston. The capital investment is huge and the 200+ jobs being created are extraordinary for the citizens of Ruston. We are excited to welcome Buc-ee's to our community and look forward to their success. This project has been in the works for several years and would not be possible without our wonderful City Council members. I would also like to say thank you to the Lincoln Parish School Board, the Lincoln Parish Police Jury, and the Lincoln Parish Sheriff for their partnership in this project."
