MOBILE, Alabama — Rouses Market opened its third store early Wednesday in Saraland, further expanding the Thibodaux, La.-based company’s footprint in Alabama.

The early morning shoppers were treated to samples of King cake at the entrance and coffee before entering the 42,000-square-foot store at 112 Saraland Loop.

Many residents were anxious to see the remodeled building after the months-long waiting period since Belle Foods sold the location after filing for bankruptcy last year.
