Council erred in rejecting gas station

BY ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

A state appeals court has ruled that the Lafayette Parish Council erred in 2023 when it rejected plans for a convenience store and gas station in an unincorporated area between Lafayette and Youngsville.

Singh Signature Stores, the owner of Grab-N-Geaux convenience stores in south Louisiana, bought property at the intersection of Fortune Road and Chemin Metairie Road to build a convenience store and gas station.

Have a great day and thanks again for reading.
