Best Stop Cajun Market held a groundbreaking ceremony March 30, launching the construction phase of its New Braunfels location, located at Creekside Crossing and Sophie Lane.
The Cajun market is family-operated. Its original location has been open in Scott, Louisiana, since 1986.
Damon Cormier—owner of the original Best Stop Cajun Market in Louisiana—said his father, Robert Cormier, and his cousin Lawrence Menard opened Best Stop after the oil market crashed. Damon’s father was a carpenter who nearly went bankrupt after building three homes that he could not sell. He noted that many of the people who drive through stop for Best Stop's Cajun products have Texas license plates.
"Often they say, ya'll need to move to wherever, Texas, Katy, everywhere in Texas they want Best Stop," he said.
