J A Barthel

General Merchandise, Circa 1880.At Bayou Paul Road is the rustic M. Barthel Store, although locals call it the J. A. Barthel Store. The swayback plank porch leads to a dim interior captured for its atmosphere in numerous commercials and films. Although the store no longer stocks general merchandise-buckets, boots, moss, and such-the straightforward display of foodstuffs and sundries on unadorned shelving preserves the flavor of a River Road general store where the proprietor greets everyone by name and business is still done the old-fashioned way.
