The top five business stories of 2024

BY ADAM DAIGLE | Staff writer​ ​ ​

Today's top story is one I look forward to every year. It's my top five business stories of the year.

Since I'm still an old sports writer at heart, I like to rank things. Buc-ee's in Lafayette is easily the top story in 2024, but nailing down four others was not an easy task.

You can read the story here. 

Have a great weekend and thanks for reading.
