Rouses Market Debuts Collegiate-Themed Store

Rouses Market has partnered with Nicholls State University, in the grocer's hometown of Thibodaux, La., to add collegiate flair at its newest location. The store is located down the street from the university and sports the school's red and gray colors, with logos and school photos featured throughout. The school mascot, Colonel Tillou, not only made an appearance at the grand opening, but the store also has a Colonels basketball scoreboard in the cafe, and both a coffee and lager named for the school. 

"We have decades worth of tradition and ties to Nicholls State University," said Donny Rouse, Rouses Market CEO. "We have a lot of family members and team members who are graduates, and we employ hundreds of current students.”
