“Generations Rooted in Service and Supply”
Since the 1800s, the village of Loreauville has been built on agriculture, boat‐building and community service. Early settlers cleared sugar cane fields beside Bayou Teche; townsfolk depended on locally owned stores that knew their name, their jobsite and their family. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
In 1867, Adrien Gonsoulin opened a coffee house and bakery in Loreauville — soon thereafter turning it into a general mercantile store. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6} Over time, the business evolved with the community, offering tools, lumber and household goods to the mechanics, farmers and makers of the area.
As Loreauville grew, so did its building needs. Oubre Lumber Company opened a branch and served the growing demand for lumber and hardware in the region. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8} It added depth to that early “store that knew your name” ethos.
Today, the business operates under the name Gonsoulin & Price Supply & Lumber, continuing the tradition of a family-owned hardware and lumber yard in Loreauville. Our promise: There will always be a locally owned hardware store here. Whatever you build, fix or feed, we’re rooted here with you.
From framing lumber to coated nails, from delivery to contractor accounts, we support local builders, ranchers and generations of home-owners. Because a place like Loreauville deserves a store that knows the land and its people.
