Work begins as Mississippi prepares for first Buc-ee’s
SUMMARY: Construction has begun on Mississippi's first Buc-ee's, a popular road stop that is expected to bring increased traffic to the area. The store is projected to be 70,000 square feet, larger than any of the four locations in neighboring Alabama. Buc-ee's is known for its positive impact on the local economy, creating nearly 200 jobs with above-average pay. Despite being the world's largest gas station, Buc-ee's does not cater to big rigs and does not offer gas pumps for 18-wheelers. The store is also well-known for its clean bathrooms, extensive food selection, and world records, such as having the longest car wash. The grand opening is scheduled for December 2024.

SUMMARY: Former salesman Charles Ferrell Trimm has pleaded guilty to participating in two bid-rigging conspiracies under the Sherman Act and one wire fraud conspiracy, targeting over 100 schools in Mississippi. Trimm, who worked with Riddell and others, manipulated bids for school football equipment from August 2020 to July 2023. Their scheme involved submitting coordinated bids and misusing an individual's identity. The U.S. Attorney emphasized the harm to schools through these anti-competitive practices. Trimm could face up to 10 years for the antitrust violation and up to 20 years for wire fraud, including potential fines and restitution. The case is part of a larger antitrust investigation into school sports equipment by the FBI.
