Breaux Mart Supermarkets
With low prices, clean facilities, and a friendly staff, Breaux Mart is able to maintain the highest possible level of customer service available in today’s market. Up-to-date, fast checkout counters further expedite this process for shoppers with little time to burn, and a wide assortment of products ensures customers have access to the brands they know and love.
The newest Breaux Mart location, in Chalmette, opened just a few years ago. To celebrate its grand opening, the supermarket’s team hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of the store. Everyone was excited—including, of course, the organization’s owner. In the October 2006 issue of New Orleans City Business, a local weekly newspaper, Barry Breaux said, “Chalmette is an exciting area; it is a beehive of activity. The residents are coming home, and there is definitely a need for a store like Breaux Mart in this area.”

Whether it’s due to a natural disaster, shift in demographics, or anything else, Breaux Mart is prepared.
Its team knows that people want a variety of different brands to choose from, whether they’re purchasing peanut butter, milk, or cereal, and for this reason, the chain stocks a wide assortment at each of its locations. In addition to its grocery offering, Breaux Mart has breadth of specialized services. Here’s a closer look of exactly what they have to offer.

Bakery: All of the Breaux Mart locations stock freshly baked bread, cooked periodically to ensure customers can count on getting a warm loaf. The bakery also prepares cakes, pies, and rolls on a daily basis.
For a short time each year, the supermarket chain bakes what it refers to as King Cakes. These are prepared daily during the period that begins on January 6 and ends on Mardi Gras. The cakes are available to locals as well as those living elsewhere in the US. Shipped fresh out of the oven via next-day service, the cakes are boxed with Mardi Gras throw beads, cups, and a flyer explaining the King Cake tradition.
