Still it gave me the opportunity to browse around and get some gift ideas for some special people in my life. I didn't make a purchase today but I'll be back. They have lots of Acadiana themed gifts of course, but for those who are in the market for something more mainstream you'll find it here as well.

We are able to call in our order, which they have record of from previous years, so they can pull that up and we are able to adjust what we want for the new MG season.

It's in what appears to be an old house which is a little odd but it works for them. The selection was fun to look at (especially the Cajun/funny versions of items: Cajun toilet paper, Cajun wind chimes...) but I found the prices to be too high for my wallet. I'm also not sure the items for sale really fit what I normally buy for myself or for others so the only thing I ended up buying was some alligator jerky. I doubt I'd be back unless we are passing through and need a quick stop. Definitely worth a visit if you haven't been there and want a laugh!

The wares are very touristy…read moreand out of my price range, but it is fun to look around at the gifts and laugh at the gag items such as a "redneck wind chime," made from Bud Light cans. There is also a furniture shop and a museum connected with the store (we did not do the museum), so it is a nice place to stop and take a driving break. I would recommend stopping if you are driving through!

Every year I see super cute Mardi Gras clothes and every year I want some. I really, really want a…read moresparkly sequined jacket and an amazing purple, green and gold outfit that looks cute and trendy and NOT loud and obnoxious. This year I saw some glittery shoes all decked out in MG colors and YALL. I *need* some Mardi Gras shoes. I am a born and bred Louisiana girl. Like why do I not have a pair of sparkly MG shoes yet?! And so I get to shopping and then remember why. I am cheap y'all. I like my money to stay in my pockets and Mardi Gras gear ain't exactly inexpensive. I just can't justify spending upwards of $70 for a pair of shoes that I will only wear for a few weekends out of the year. This is what brought me to Beads Galore. I was hoping I'd find some cute stuff here for a little less than what I was seeing at all the boutiques. I didn't find any huge discounts but I did find a Mecca of MG stuff, like way more than I had imagined. I rode in a parade this year so I picked up a few things here. If you are riding and need some special throws you will definitely find them here. Two locations, this one being the bigger one and in Broussard... smaller, yet just as great. The owners here are FANTASTIC and so helpful so if you have questions, don't be shy.

The staff here is so friendly and welcoming and you're in for a big surprise after walking through the doors, this store is filled with souvenirs and gifts items with just about any kind of snacks you can imagine. The restrooms are immaculate and spacious you can see the team here understands what's important to travelers. I picked up a cute wooden refrigerator magnet for the RV that documents our visit with the store's theme and location. There are always interesting places to stop while traveling and Henry's is among the great ones in my opinions...

I stopped here to charge my car while traveling home after working long hours on a healthcare assignment. My emotional-support animal was wearing an ESA harness, yet an employee attempted to deny us entry, even though I personally watched several other customers enter and leave with dogs without being questioned. Unfortunately, my travel route required me to stop at this location twice. During my second visit, I overheard the same employee whispering to another worker about me and my animal. She said that she had already addressed us before and was now going to "let us do whatever we wanted." Shortly afterward, the other worker approached me and demanded to see my dog's "papers." Meanwhile, the other customers with dogs were not approached or asked to provide documentation. I explained the situation to employees at the neighboring gas station, and they told me they had heard about similar experiences involving this location. The way I was singled out, watched, discussed, and confronted made me feel unwelcome and racially targeted. Spend your money somewhere that treats every customer with equal dignity and respect. If you are Black, I strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere.
