WORTHGROUP is proud to partner with the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana on the design of the new Coushatta Travel Center, a modern, full-service fueling and convenience destination that will serve both locals and travelers visiting the region. Thoughtfully designed to complement the Tribe’s broader hospitality and entertainment offerings, the Travel Center reflects WORTHGROUP’s ongoing commitment to supporting Tribal economic development through architecture that is functional, inviting, and rooted in community identity.

The Coushatta Travel Center will feature a 10,000-square-foot facility designed for both passenger and commercial vehicle use. The site will include approximately 20 passenger fueling positions and 5 high-speed diesel fueling lanes, along with underground fuel storage tanks designed in compliance with all relevant EPA regulations. The facility will also provide EV charging stations, 50 passenger vehicle parking stalls, and 15–20 truck parking spaces to accommodate a wide range of users.

Inside, guests will find a convenience store offering a variety of hot and cold food items, reach-in beverage coolers, snacks, and essential travel goods. Amenities will include a fountain beverage station, quick-serve food venue, and spacious restrooms with approximately 10 stalls and 4–5 private shower rooms. For long-haul drivers, the center will also feature trucker amenities such as a comfortable lounge area, laundry facilities, and showers.

Architecturally, the building will be constructed of structural steel with metal stud framing, featuring a warm and durable exterior palette that includes EIFS, stone veneer, tile, storefront glazing, and heavy timber framing. Together, these materials will create a modern yet regionally grounded aesthetic that aligns with the Tribe’s values and enhances the overall travel experience.
