Rouses is a Proud Partner LSU Athletics. NICHOLLS STATE COLONELS Coach Tim Rebowe is doing good things for the Colonels, and fans are showing their support on gameday. Stop at Spahr’s Seafood, self- proclaimed home of “the best Bloody Mary,” for a gallon to go, or hit up Peppers Pizzeria for a Bloody Boudreaux with Honey Baked Sauce (both have Downtown Thibodaux locations) before Colonels kickoff. Rouses is a Proud Sponsor Nicholls Football. UL RAGIN’ CAJUNS I’m a UL alum, and at least once a year my college friends and I head back to Lafayette to tailgate at Cajun Field, which is across the street from our market on Bertrand Drive. When I man the Bloody Mary bar, I stick with Zing Zang, vodka and ice. With Zing Zang, you don’t need any extras. Rouses is a Proud Sponsor UL Football.

Official Supermarket of the New Orleans Saints I’m thrilled to let you know that we’ve teamed up with the New Orleans Saints! If you’re not from around here, it’s hard to explain just how much the Saints mean to the Gulf Coast. The Saints are the only professional football franchise on the Gulf Coast. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas each have two teams. New York and Florida each have three. Even in Baton Rouge and Tuscaloosa — where college football naturally dominates discussions — Sundays are reserved for the Saints. In cities and towns all across our region, from Houma to Lafayette and Gonzales to Gulf Shores, loyal Saints fans are glued to the TV set, and often tailgating outside the Dome, on gameday. My family has always had season tickets to the Saints. I’m not ashamed to tell you I got goose bumps the first time I saw the team come out of the tunnel. As a lifelong fan and local business owner, I’m very proud to be an official sponsor. And, we’ve come up with some exciting promotions to celebrate our sponsorship. Look for in-game contests and in-store sweepstakes — including the chance to win a fly away trip to Atlanta for the Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons game! We also have a variety of promotions from your favorite brands including the Coca-Cola Cash Catch, making it even more fun to root for the Black & Gold. If you’re in that number on gameday, our Downtown New Orleans store is right smack in the middle of all the excitement — literally blocks away from all the action in the Superdome. We’re open 6am to midnight every day. So stop by to get hot food, cold beer and a pre-game Bloody Mary on gameday. Here’s to a great season! Donny Rouse , CEO 3 rd Generation California has four — two of which play in Los Angeles. On the Gulf Coast, we’re just one team — the Saints.
