"A Baton Rouge-based mini-chain with locations in South Louisiana and Florida has shut down all of its company-owned locations, including an outpost on Freret Street that opened in 2018 (another local location in the CBD that opened in 2020 has since closed). According to the Advocate, the decision was made as summer approached, following a 'perfect storm' of a challenging labor market, inflation, and too-rapid growth. One Baton Rouge location, which is privately owned, will remain open." - Clair Lorell
