LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) - Retail sales in a south Louisiana parish are on track to rival the area’s record for the highest annual sales.

That year saw the highest annual retail sales across Lafayette Parish at $6.4 billion, and 2019 is on track to have the second-highest sales figures in a decade.
Figures come from the Lafayette Economic Development Authority.
