""Just this month, we picked up about 10 caterings," Allen said. Without Meta, he added, the family likely wouldn't have taken the leap. "It's been a huge blessing for us.""
"When Meta announced in December 2024 that it was investing in a $10 billion facility in Richland Parish, its largest data center to date, they saw a rare opening."
Meta's $10 billion investment in Richland Parish has significantly impacted the local economy, providing new opportunities for businesses. Tim and Lindsey Allen capitalized on this by launching a taco catering service for construction workers at the Hyperion data center. Initially planning to use a taco truck, they adapted by renting a building to serve meals. Their venture has thrived, with increased catering contracts and a surge in customers, marking a positive change in a previously economically depressed area.
