Eunice Superette

You know that feeling, the one you get knowing you can get doughnuts at a drive thru without having to get out of your pajamas?
Now imagine it with boudin instead of doughnuts.
The dream will be a reality when the new Eunice Superette location opens on at 1230 W Laurel Avenue in February 2016.
Willie Burson, vice president of Eunice Superette, said, “We hope to be open in time for Mardi Gras. We will have boudin and cracklins, and people can call in their orders for rotisserie chickens and briskets and pick them up at the drive thru. We will also have take-and-bake casseroles and frozen gumbo.”
The store will also sell alcohol as well as items like paper products and groceries.
Burson added, “Anything you want to cook with your meat, to make a full meal, you will be able to get it all.”
The meat market carries both pork and beef meat, and customers can chose between meats from grass-fed, corn-fed or grain-fed livestock.
“The grain-fed is (tastes) the best to me,” Burson said.
The Superette has wholesale customers from all over the area and even from Kingfish Kitchen and Cocktails in the French Quarter.
The Superette’s new location is two years in the works, and the price tag on the new location is about $1 million. Burson said the reason for building the new location is that those passing through town don’t know about the business because of its current location at the southern end of Bobcat Drive.
The location, at 1044 La. 91, will continue to handle wholesale, slaughter and wild game processing business, and the new location will be strictly retail. Burson said he will hire more people in order to staff the new location.
“The community has been very, very good to us,” Burson said. “We have been blessed.”
