In the mid-1980s, Louisiana’s economy suffered a severe blow. Despite being employed, Lawrence Menard (affectionately known as Uncle Brud) and Robert Cormier needed additional income. They met in an empty parking lot in Scott, Louisiana, to discuss new possibilities.
This deserted lot would soon turn into The Best Stop Supermarket.
Opening its doors on November 1, 1986, Lawrence and Robert worked tirelessly seven days a week developing and refining their boudin, cracklins, sausage, specialty meats, and cajun seasonings recipes. Alongside the duo was Mrs. Jerry Prejean Hovatta, who helped create the recipe and made and prayed the rosary for it every day.
Lawrence and Robert had a straightforward goal when they created The Best Stop Supermarket. The mission was to provide the best specialty meats in Louisiana while creating a brand that their families could be proud of. Thirty years later, it’s clear that the mission has been a success.
Today, The Best Stop not only serves the local community in and around Scott, they also provide their award-winning meats to online and wholesale shoppers across the country.
“You can fool most people, most of the time,’ says Cormier, “but you can’t fool their taste buds. If they like something, they’ll come back.”
Best Stop Cajun Market – Broussard, Louisiana, is located at 1008 Smede Hwy A
