A 2,300-square-foot historic building in North Lafayette is being turned into a small neighborhood grocery store instead of getting torn down or sitting vacant.

Nothing sexy. No $100 million development.

Take an existing building → solve an actual neighborhood problem → build a business inside it.

We need WAY more small-scale redevelopment like this in Lafayette.

Something interesting is happening in Louisiana right now...

Meta is now talking about $50+ BILLION invested into its Louisiana AI data-center project.

Spacex is talking about $100 BILLION in Vermilion Parish.

And smaller Louisiana businesses are already popping up specifically to serve the workers around these massive projects.

My prediction:

The biggest opportunity for most Louisiana entrepreneurs won’t be AI or rockets.

It’ll be boring businesses selling things to the people building AI and rockets.

Housing. Construction. Food. Equipment. Maintenance. Transportation. Staffing. Storage.

If you had $100K and had to start or buy ONE boring business positioned around Louisiana’s next 10 years of growth…

What are you buying?

Interesting disconnect happening right now:

Construction spending nationally is slowing.

Meanwhile, Louisiana reportedly has the fastest construction job growth in the country.

For the Louisiana business owners / contractors on here:

Does business actually FEEL busy to you right now?

Because I'm not sure the economic numbers and what small business owners are experiencing on the ground are telling the same story.
