LEROY — Breaux’s Grocery is tucked under a canopy of tall trees in the small community of Leroy on LA Hwy. 699.
Across the street is the Catholic Church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help. There’s a bench on the small porch where patrons can sit back to drink a cup of fresh coffee.
To the left of the door is an improvised community bulletin board. Cards and signs advertise fresh eggs for sale, pecan cracking and shaking, and lawn care.
