Overview

Description

This Commercial location was once a thriving truck stop & home to Southwest Station located at the intersection of S MacArthur Drive (Hwy 71S) and Sugarhouse Road (LA 3250). This property, spanning 6.01 acres, was a significant hub for travelers and truckers alike, offering various amenities and services. Now vacant, it presents an opportunity for redevelopment into a hotel, a welcome center, or another convenience stop catering to high traffic counts in the area. The tanks on the property are certified annually, ensuring compliance with safety standards. This location appears ripe for someone with a vision to capitalize on its strategic position and history of serving travelers.
