IN OUR STORES
PREPARED FOODS
T
he holidays are showtime for our
Rouses chefs and cooks. We have fully
prepared traditional and premium
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
You can order these dinners at your
neighborhood Rouses Market deli. We
also have extras of our holiday sides-to-
go in our prepared food case just in case
you need to round out your feast.
WINE, SPIRITS & BEER
We offer wines at every price point and
have wine experts on the floor to answer
questions and offer pairing suggestions.
We also have spirited gifts for the holi-
day season, including commemorative
packages, barware, and bourbon and
whiskey personally selected by Donny
Rouse. For the beer drinker, we offer the
largest craft selection on the Gulf Coast.
Eat Right With Rouses
Our Rouses registered dietitian Esther
has handpicked more than 500 grocery
items that have lower sodium, saturated
fat, healthier fats, more fiber and less
sugar. Just look for the Eat Right logo on
the shelf tag or package.
“A race or walk before the big
Thanksgiving meal is a great way
to burn calories and can put you in
the right mindset to make healthier
choices. Setting a goal to complete
the race can also keep you
motivated to train regularly, which
can stave off any weight gain you
may normally experience around
the holiday season.”
—Esther Ellis,
Rouses Registered Dietitian

generation farmers like Ben & Ben
Becnel and Matt Ranatza.
