J.P. Rouse founded his first supermarket in Thibodaux, Louisiana, in 1923. Initially named City Produce Company, Rouse purchased produce from local farmers and shipped the excess around the US.

In a local news media post, Rouses was listed as the favorite market of locals living in the state of Louisiana.

On 7/14/23 at 7:28 AM, I was attempting to cross the crosswalk after shopping at Rouses, in Diamondhead MS. As I approached the crosswalk, this old woman sitting her car charged me with her vehicle stopping within inches of hitting me. At the same time, one of your butchers was walking out the store and witnessed the incident. I called and spoke with Chuck the manager, and he said unfortunately, he didn’t have the password to the cameras at the store so he couldn’t do anything about it. Since I don’t feel safe going to your store anymore and the manager was nonchalant about my safety, I wont be back. Too bad you care so little about your patrons.
