Hanson’s Super Foods — Local services in Jennings

I appreciate the variety of food options at this store and how well-kept it is. One highlight for me is that they sell oxtails, which I love. However, I’m giving three stars instead of five due to some uncomfortable interactions with cashiers.

Several years ago, before 2020, an older female cashier made a point to check our food stamp balance on the receipt before handing it over to my partner. It was intrusive and unnecessary. Having worked in retail myself, I know there’s no reason for a cashier to focus on a customer’s food stamp balance—it felt inappropriate.

More recently, in January 2025, my partner and I had a friendly conversation with a cashier while checking out, discussing how changing weather can affect people’s health. As we were finishing up, she suddenly pointed at her forehead and awkwardly suggested I use Vital Proteins for wrinkles. It was an unprompted remark, completely unrelated to our conversation, and came across as rude and unnecessary. Her hesitation before saying it made it clear she knew it wasn’t appropriate.

It could reduce customer discomfort and improve efficiency, ensuring interactions are professional and respectful. I understand staffing decisions are up to the store, but I wanted to share my honest experience along with a possible...

I shop here for meat more than anything else! They have the best prices, and some of the best quality meat of any place in town. And the butcher is also very friendly and helpful! Their produce section is also always good, and fresh! Some of the stuff here is obviously a little bit more pricey sometimes then the other stores in town. But you pay for the convenience of the location. More often than not I don't mind paying a little bit more, because it's much nicer being able to come here. As opposed to going all the way across town to Walmart.

Over all it's one of my favorite grocery stores to shop at, and I would definitely...

So....I ran into this lady at the SWLA Human Services Office here in Town ( Lake Charles, LA.) and OF COURSE 😁 me and my love for the heart of any home...The Kitchen! We started talking about the prices or rise of the price of groceries and meat deals. They do not offer meat deals but the prices of the meat and the beauty 😍 Red marbleized ribeye steaks and the ox- tails...full of meat. There is also a butcher there for your every need but Fridays and Saturdays he gets off of work at 12 noon. It's SO.....WORTH THE DRIVE. I'll post some pictures on my...
