Ralph and Kacoo’s is located at 1700 Old Minden Rd. They are one of the many local restaurants in Shreveport-Bossier located near the I-20 construction set to last two years. Ralph and Kacoo’s, like many others, has seen a decline in their attendance since the construction project began. A simple and impactful way the Shreveport-Bossier community can show their support is by opting to take the route through downtown Bossier instead of bypassing it via I-220. It only takes a few extra minutes to go through town, but the payoff to local businesses and their families is worth it.

Local restaurants play an important role in the tourism industry. They are more than just economic drivers; they represent that genuine Shreveport-Bossier connection that tourists can’t get anywhere else.

So, take the time to visit the many local restaurants and businesses along the I-20 construction that need community support!
