Actor Wendell Pierce has another title to add to his resumé: Grocer. The New Orleans born actor, who has a recurring role in the HBO series Treme, opened the first Sterling Farms. The Marrero location, which was a retired Winn-Dixie location in Marrero, La., is the first of four that Pierce is developing along with partners James Hatchett and Troy Henry. The threesome are also developing four Sterling Express convenience stores.
There are over 60 employees, including Butcher Aubrey Lockett and Dwight Henry, owner of Buttermilk Drop Bakery and Café and Grammy-nominated Beasts of the Southern Wild's Wink. The store offers a full variety of fresh produce, meat, seafood, a pharmacy, and more. For customers spending $50 or more, they will have access to the Sterling Shuttle service.
Sterling Farms is located at 5969 Lapalco Blvd.
