Rouses is set to open its newest supermarket in Picayune, Mississippi, on Wednesday, marking the grocery chain’s fourth store in the state.
The 40,000-square-foot store will be located in River Ridge Shopping Center, at 1701 Highway 43 North. About 150 people are expected to work there.
Donnie Rouse said he decided to open a store in Pearl River County because customers were traveling across state lines to shop at his Slidell store.
“We wanted to open a store close to their homes,” he said in a statement.
The store will have all the amenities boasted at other Ruth’s locations, including a full-service seafood department with boiled shrimp and crawfish, a butcher shop with lockers of dry-aged beef, a bakery and a wide range of prepared foods from fried chicken to poke bowls.
Luces plans to open another South Mississippi store next month at the corner of Pass and Pops Ferry roads in Biloxi. The chain’s other Mississippi locations include Gulfport, Ocean Springs and Diamond Head.
