Head Out On The Highway - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

If you drive around Baton Rouge, chances are you ve had your car
washed at Benny s Car Wash. The locally owned company has 14
locations around the area and is as well known for its quick oil
changes and B Kwik convenience stores as it is for its automated
car washes, which can be had for as little as 4. Justin Alford is a
member of the third generation of the Alford family, which owns the
car wash chain. Starting out way back in the 1940 s, Benny s was a
world leader in the automated car wash biz. Today they re still
ahead of the curve, selling car wash machinery to other car wash
businesses across the country. Jeff Cobb knows a thing or two about
cars. More than 30 years ago Jeff walked away from his job with an
engineering firm to turned a hobby into a livelihood, opening a
full service Exxon Gas Station and Auto Repair Shop on South
Acadian thruway. Today, the gas station is gone but Jeff Cobb Auto
Works is well known as one of Baton Rouge s true experts in
repairing high end vehicles. Whether you get around Baton Rouge by
car or bus you ve no doubt noticed all the giraffes around town. On
the bus benches that seem to have popped up everywhere. The man
behind the giraffe and the benches is entrepreneur Brooke Barnett,
founder of Giraffe Advertising. Photos at Mansur s On the Boulevard
