The Challenge
The site previously operated as a convenience store and needed to be repositioned for a new retail use that could better serve the demands of the Highland Road corridor.

Completed in 2024, the project brought new energy to a prominent Baton Rouge retail corridor by converting an underutilized former convenience store site into a contemporary restaurant destination. The redevelopment strengthened the site’s commercial value while adding a recognizable national tenant to the area.
