Dow Jones Description

J.P. Rouse, father of Rouses founder Anthony Rouse Sr., is pictured here with colleagues in his produce shipping business. Anthony grew up working alongside his father, learning the food industry as a young man and eventually opening a grocery store with his cousin, Ciro DiMarco in 1960. Founded in 1960 by Anthony J. Rouse, Sr., Rouses is now the largest Louisiana-owned grocery retailer with stores in Metairie, Houma, Thibodaux, Morgan City, Raceland, Lockport, Larose, Covington and Mandeville. The company opened a new store in Slidell on November 8, 2006. The first Rouses store was a 7,000-square-foot grocery in Houma, but today the stores range from 15,000 to over 70,000 square feet in size. With an increase in stores and business, there was an increase in employees. At the original store in Houma, there was a count of only four workers. Now, not only does Rouses employ over 2,000 people overall, but a new generation is minding the store. Sons Donald and Tommy Rouse are managing partners. The company is committed to Louisiana and proud of its heritage. "We're from Louisiana. We were born here. We grew up here. We know what people in Louisiana want, what they like to eat," said Donald Rouse. To that end, Rouses has developed its own line of home-smoked and Cajun Specialty Meats, including homemade sausage, boudin, head cheese, smoked meats, turduchen, and stuffed turkeys, chickens and brisket...
