GALLIANO FOOD STORE FOCUSES ON FAMILY, SERVICE

Owned and operated by the Burregi family for nearly four decades now, Galliano Food Store stands today as the only small, family-owned grocery store in its area and upholds its commitment toward ensuring customers have access to any and every item they need.

Operating Galliano Food Store has run in the blood of the Burregi family since Sam Burregi opened the store in 1976 alongside his brother Joseph. Today, Sam’s son Dannie and his grandson Jaedon continue the family tradition of running the store.

“It means a lot that we’re all here, and we all work together every single day. It really means a lot to especially my grandpa, how his legacy is being kept on through all these years and these generations, and that it’s still part of the family,” Jaedon says.

The store is set apart by its efforts to make every item that customers request available, Jaedon says. When the store had to close its doors for nine months due to the impact of Hurricane Gustav in 2008, the Burregi family realized the value their store brought to people through its personal approach to business.

“If we don’t have something in the store or if somebody wants a certain item, we try our best to get every single item here,” Jaedon says. “We bring in so many new items a week because people request them, and they know they can come to us.” In addition to its general services, Galliano Food Store partners with the local marine industry to provide grocery orders to people working on boats. It’s important to the Burregi family to support such a valuable industry in South Louisiana, Jaedon says.

“They’re gone for weeks at a time, so it’s so important for us to make sure we fulfill every single thing as much as possible on their order...We try our best to make sure they are set and that they can do their job,” Jaedon says.

The Burregis take pride in being the only independent, family-owned store in their area and being able to serve their community in the way they do.

“We attribute our success to maintaining friendly, personal relationships with our shoppers. It hasn’t always been easy, but God has blessed us through it all.” Jaedon says. •
