Re: Peanut Buckets Coming to DAWGTOWN
Thanks, I didn't put much stock into that crazy rumor and thought it was a weird place for on anyway. I guess it was wishful thinking on the part of whoever started it.
Re: Peanut Buckets Coming to DAWGTOWN
If anyone says "I heard a chick-fil-a may be coming to Ruston," you can tell them not anytime in the next 10-15 years.

because the most persistent rumor for years has been chick-fil-a, and no less than half a dozen people have inquired with corporate to procure a Ruston location...and a free standing one with a drive thru in Ruston would make someone rich.
But for a variety of reason I'm not going to disclose...it ain't happening.

You probably know this but, Chick-fil-a doesn't use the franchise model, but an operator/employee model, no equity is built into the business. The operator does get a certain percentage of the sales but has no ownership over the business

I can imagine why CFA wouldn't want to be involved with that scene.

It has nothing to do with shenanigans, but more of what longdawgview posted.

The dirt on the lot(s) behind Walmart is being used as fill on the work behind Spiritmart (Texaco) across the interstate. The Spiritmart location could become the new home of Courtesy Chevrolet.

Who do we need to bribe to get the Cooktown bridge over I-20 replaced?
Re: Peanut Buckets Coming to DAWGTOWN
Is Ruston getting a Dairy Queen? I noticed in the gameday program that they are now a sponsor

There is a certain person in Ouachita parish that if they wanted to build one in Ruston, construction would start tomorrow.

That certain person has pull and may could get it done, but I don't think he has that much. It certainly wouldn't be as sure a thing as you insinuate. There are two lists and Ruston is on neither one.
I don't post BS.
