BATON ROUGE, La. (TWILA) — As temperatures rise during National Dairy Month, the Louisiana State University AgCenter Dairy Store is giving customers a new place to cool off.
The store recently moved to a new location, and staff say the upgraded facility has helped drive a significant increase in customer traffic.
Student employees also play a major role in the operation, helping test new flavors and gain hands-on experience by working in the store.
In addition to dairy products, the store serves as the only retail outlet for LSU AgCenter beef products.
