Rouses

Rouses Markets is a family-owned supermarket chain founded in 1960 in Houma, Louisiana. It has grown from the City Produce Company, established in 1923, into one of the largest independent grocers in the United States, operating 66 stores across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. The company employs over 7,000 people and serves a diverse customer base in urban and suburban areas.

Rouses Markets offers a wide variety of grocery products, including fresh produce, organic items, meats, seafood, bakery goods, and household essentials. The company emphasizes local sourcing, supporting regional farmers and producers. Rouses was among the first grocery stores in America to provide organic produce and introduce exotic fruits to its customers. With a focus on quality and community involvement, Rouses Markets aims to deliver a family-oriented shopping experience while continuing to expand its presence in the Gulf Coast region.
