Pizza Hut is Coming Soon To Broussard, LA On Saint Nazaire Road
Pizza Hut, one of the nation’s largest pizza brands is coming soon to Broussard, Louisiana at 224 Saint Nazaire Road in Suite 105, in the same center as Burgersmith. When it comes to pizza, it’s safe to say that Pizza Hut is still one of the most well-known go-to places for that signature, Americanized pie topped with meats, cheeses, sauce, and whatever else you decide to add. Back in the 1990s, Pizza Hut was THE place to go as a kid. I can still hear the pinball machine, the red drinking glass, the red & white checkered pattern table covers, and the smells—oh, the smells were blissful. Today, Pizza Hut has gone through several branding changes but has seemingly circled back to what it was like in its prime or so it seems that is the direction. Today, the model is still a bit deluded from what we remember, though the essence is there—minus the pinball machine.

QuikTrip, an Oklahoma-based Convenience Store Company Is Coming Soon To Louisiana Avenue & I-10
Tulsa, Oklahoma-based convenience store company, QuikTrip, is coming soon to the Northwest corner of I-10 & Louisiana with South Louisiana’s first location. Founded in 1958, QuikTrip has grown beyond an $11 billion company with more than 900 locations throughout 14 different states with many more set to open. The company also partnered with Amazon’s no-checkout “Just walk out” technology used in Amazon Go convenience store concepts. The technology allows store customers to save their payment information ahead of time with QuikTrip so that when you shop there is no need to wait at a checkout line to pay for your items, you just walk out. Your saved payment will then only be charged for the items that you grabbed inside as you are walking out. Pretty cool, right? As cool as it is, they are currently testing this model in the company’s home city of Tulsa, OK, and with only non-gasoline stores usually found within high-end office buildings. — See more at https://www.winsightgrocerybusiness.com/amazon/quiktrip-opens-store-amazons-just-walk-out-tech.
