The 15th annual LSU100, which recognizes the fastest-growing businesses either owned or led by LSU graduates, is out.

The company said it has reached deals to sell its stores at 8601 Siegen Lane and 13002 Coursey Blvd. to Texas-based Brookshire Grocery Co.

The Belle of Baton Rouge will be known as Bally’s Baton Rouge Casino and Hotel when the downtown casino opens its land-based expansion in December.

Mississippi-based Merchants & Marine Bank said it has reached a deal to acquire FM Bank of Breaux Bridge in an all-cash deal.

The chain has more than 1,900 locations in the U.S.

The expanded, land based casino will open at 6 p.m. Saturday.

The move follows a vote by McGlinchey leaders Monday to wind down their New Orleans-based law firm after more than 50 years in business. 

This specialty supermarket is expanding its presence in Baton Rouge.

The jobs will have an average annual salary of more than $117,000, according to Louisiana Economic Development.

Truce & Chaos, a new cocktail bar from the co-owner of Olive or Twist, is set to open Friday in the former Uncle Earl’s space on Perkins Road.
