MARRERO, La. (WGNO) – It started with a lot of promise when it opened last year, but the Sterling Farms grocery on Lapalco Boulevard in Marrero may soon close.
Sterling Farms is co-owned by actor Wendell Pierce. Pierce told WGNO last year how important it was for the community to have fresh local produce in a part of New Orleans that’s considered a “food desert.”
But on Thursday, Sterling Farms announced that — while it’s expanding the company to other cities — the store in Marrero won’t make it.
