A fresh slate in the French Quarter

By READYSLATE®. 

Historic charm meets modern innovation atop a local icon. 

In a neighborhood where every corner tells a story, even a supermarket roof has something to say. In the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter, where wrought iron balconies, gas lamps and cobblestone streets set the tone, Rouses Market has quietly pulled off a striking transformation. This time, it’s not about what’s on the shelves, but what’s overhead. With a sleek real-slate roof by READYSLATE® now crowning the historic structure, the market has redefined what it means to preserve tradition while embracing progress. 

Rouses Market is a well-known grocery chain in the region, celebrated for its strong ties to local communities and its emphasis on fresh, regional products and with a reputation for offering a unique blend of traditional Southern fare and modern grocery selections. 

In this vibrant blend of local flavors and cosmopolitan touches, READYSLATE has seamlessly found its place. The traditional building now boasts a beautiful and durable roof, enhancing its timeless appeal while ensuring lasting protection. 

READYSLATE is an innovative roofing system for real slate, designed for efficiency and elegance. It comes in six pre-assembled panels, making installation easier, faster and more cost-effective without compromising on quality.
