• What makes his newest location so unique is that the New Orleans East is still affected from Hurricane Katrina from 2015. His new store is in an area that hasn’t fully been occupied since then. Having his We Dat’s in the neighborhood would be a relief for his customers that are always traveling to his farther locations.
