Rays Bakery II Reopening In Eunice After Devastating Fire

(Eunice, Louisiana) - Many people in Eunice and within the surrounding area are rejoicing after a sign has been mounted oon a building, signifying that an iconic business is returning.

In 2025, a fire destroyed the building that was the home of Ray's Bakery on Hwy 190 in Eunice, and many were left asking if it would ever return.

Ray's Bakery was part of the Eunice community for 60 years until it went up in flames, and as you may imagine, a piece of Eunice's "heart" was ripped out when the iconic business was forced to close after the fire.

Well, they say to never question faith, and we can now proudly report that a new sign announcing Ray's Bakery II is coming back to serve the people of Eunice.

Known for their donuts, cakes, and other treats, Ray's Bakery has been part of many families' celebrations and Saturday mornings. Heck, when I was a kid, I can recall one of my birthday cakes coming from Ray's, along with donuts, and it's something I'll never forget.

New Ray's Bakery in Eunice

Several videos on social media show the Ray's Bakery II sign being mounted to the building, which was once the home to Dairy Queen, but now it will soon be the home to the treats that many in the Eunice area have grown to love.

I drove by the new location this week, and you can tell that there's work being done inside the building and that the sign for the new bakery is indeed mounted. The new location for Ray's Bakery II is located at 1551 West Laurel Avenue.

Now, I did not see a sign announcing an opening date, nor has Ray's Bakery announced it on social media, but once we are made aware of its opening date, we willl update this post and likely be there on the day the doors open.

Personally, I'd like to congratulate the owners of Ray's Bakery on their new adventure, as it's never easy to bounce back from a devastating fire, but I have no doubt in my mind that Eunice and the surrounding communities will once again be there to support them moving forward.
