The Humble Beginnings Of The Best Stop
Family has always been important to the Cajun people who call South Louisiana home. It’s not uncommon to still see many small businesses in the region that are operated by third or fourth generation family members. The Best Stop followed this great tradition when opening their small supermarket in 1986.
Robert Cormier and Lawrence Menard had a straightforward goal when they created The Best Stop. 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 grocers, food distributors and online shoppers across the country.
