I've been gone from the area for a number of years actually more than a few decades so the first…read moretime I saw a Rouse Market here I was just as impressed as I was when they turned the narrow two lane Highway 378 into the massive expressway it is today, for years there were two places to buy groceries in MB there was Market Basket and Sonny's (closed decades ago) which was directly across the street from the now ailing Market Basket who's smoked boudin is legendary and may be one of the few reasons the faithful still trade there - yes it's great there are now choices and even better that there is now competition. Now let me give credit where credits due - Rouses Market is a level above anything in town well at least in Moss Bluff being everyone here still has a Lake Charles address. Oh yea there Walmart Market Place with its parking lot filled 24/7 and then there's Amazon the store that will eventually crush them all as soon as the old touchy feely generation goes to the promise land, but until that time you have to experience a Rouses Market its Louisiana through and through. I mean tell me where you can match the line up I observed today e.g. fried chicken seasoned with crawfish boil seasoning, fresh turtle meat, fresh Louisiana crawfish tails, roux, jars of gumbo, étouffée, shrimp with their head still on and a fricking "king cake" oh yea I could go on and on and on but you get the picture or you just don't care because you stopped in for a loaf of French bread and a Yoo-hoo. I came here looking for something to throw on the grill and found it, the butcher cut me four one inch and a quarter thick ribeyes that any carnivore would crawl through three miles of cypress swamp just to light the grill their cooked on - no seriously these were some serious steaks. But wait one of the things I love about Rouses is that they use "locally sourced" everything when it's available and the quality meets their high standards. If some of this sounds familiar it should for some of you - it's exactly what was said when Market Basket was being built decades ago...

We had about $200 of groceries and the one behind us has about $100 maybe more. After unloading onto the belt we were all told "only cash" by the poor cashiers that had that "deer in the headlights" look. This is the second time my husband had this happen in the last few months. Something has to be done or yall lose clientele. Right now we are heading back out but to KROGERS!

However, there is something that grabbed my attention on every aisle. The staff there was willing to assist with finding products.

There is accessible parking and entrance.

It's been decades since they opened their doors and Sonny's closed theirs in a community which has grown exponentially from a two light town on a two lane road when life was a little simpler. Back in the day you could come here and get a full weeks worth of groceries for under $40 and the butcher in the meat market knew you by your first name and would hand cut your steaks to order - I can't speak of the quality of the produce, seafood or meat counter now but the staff is still friendly and treats you like a neighbor. The shelves today were filled as they always were, showcasing lots of food options only found in Louisiana, their meat cases are still stocked by men and women in white coats busy taking care of generations of customers with a smile and a giant selection of boudin and sausages made onsite or other delicacies from fresh caught Gulf Shrimp, Locally Grown Louisiana Crawfish and every Cajun seasoning you can imagine. This store brings back lots of good hometown memories where customer service is of the utmost importance and the quality of their products are guaranteed. They now have legit competitor from another grocer in town with a larger store that is fresh and modern but this location seems to still have a loyal following although the parking lot doesn't always reflect this with its faded parking space stripes, and deteriorating asphalt but their still here which speaks of its resilience so I'll continue to show up when I'm in the area...

Market Basket is a good company and hopefully it can stand the test of time with the forthcoming competition in our area.
