Bruiser’s Covington Building Update: Big Step Forward!

We’re thrilled to share a major milestone in our journey — Bruiser’s Covington building update is finally here! After months of hard work, planning, and coordination, we’ve officially received approval from the Louisiana State Fire Marshal (LSFM). This approval marks a huge step forward toward bringing Bruiser’s Hot Dog Place back to life on the Northshore.


Moving Forward with City of Covington Permits

Now that we have LSFM approval, we can officially apply for the City of Covington building permit. Because the City of Covington relies on LSFM’s approval to issue permits, the process should move along much faster from here. We’re optimistic that paperwork and reviews will wrap up quickly so we can begin the next phase of construction.

Building Contract and Project Progress

Meanwhile, our General Contractor (GC) is finalizing the building contract to prepare for construction. We’re also incredibly thankful to American Bank, who has been an active and supportive partner throughout this process. Their commitment, along with the dedication of our team, keeps everything moving in the right direction.

Getting Closer to the Grill

Each approval and signature brings us one step closer to hearing that familiar sizzle and smelling hot dogs cooking on the grill again. The thought of serving our Chicago-style favorites to our community in Covington keeps us motivated every single day.

You can explore our menu to see the gourmet hot dogs, sausages, and sides that made Bruiser’s a fan favorite in Slidell and beyond.


Thank You for the Continued Support

We can’t thank our loyal customers and supporters enough. You’ve stood by us through every obstacle, and that support continues to fuel our comeback.

Stay tuned right here for more Bruiser’s Covington building updates, construction progress, and behind-the-scenes news as we move closer to reopening day!
