PRESS RELEASE
On August 29, 2005, the Robért grocery stores sustained significant damages due to Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath. All of our stores were damaged.
Since 2005, we have anxiously tried to return to our site at St Claude and Elysian Fields. Due to Hurricane Katrina, the building was destroyed, and the landlords refused to uphold their responsibilities as outlined in our lease.
Robert MarketFare St. Claude has just successfully completed a three-week jury trial in Orleans Civil District Court against our landlord, the Schwegman family. Friday, March 16, 2012 marked the end of the trial, and it is the day that we can finally begin our plan to return to the St. Claude and Faubourg Marigny neighborhoods. The landlords for this site, the Schwegmann family, were found in breach of the lease by a twelve-person jury for not restoring the building to its pre-Katrina condition. Robert MarketFare St. Claude was NOT found in breach of lease at any time before or after Hurricane Katrina in response to allegations from the Schwegmann family. The Schwegmann family has been required by the unanimous decision of the twelve-person jury to restore the building at 2222 St Claude Ave. to its pre-Katrina condition.
The landlords must restore the structure before Robert MarketFare St. Claude can return to full grocery operations. Any further delays are entirely the fault of the landlords as found by the twelve-person jury in the Orleans Civil District Court.
For six years, we have expended tremendous efforts to return to this neighborhood with every intent to bring a full service grocery store to an area that has been considered a “food desert” for six plus years. As a locally owned and operated grocery company, we are committed to the continued revival of the St. Claude community and the New Orleans community as a whole.

Thank you,

Robert Fresh Market Introduces
The NuValÒ Nutritional System
New Orleans, Louisiana (January 10, 2012) – The NuVal® Nutritional Scoring System is coming to the Big Easy just in time for the New Year. Robert Fresh Market, New Orleans’ favorite neighborhood grocery store, will unveil the food labeling system exclusively at all three of their supermarket locations. The NuVal system, adopted by more than 1,600 grocery retail stores from coast-to-coast, guides customers to make well-informed nutritional choices. Foods throughout Robert Fresh Market will be scored on a scale from 1 to 100. The higher the NuVal score, the higher the products nutritional value. NuVal scores cover a wide variety of categories including meat, seafood, poultry, vegetables, cereal, soft drinks and snacks just to name a few. Nutritional scores will be placed on shelf tags next to the price. Consumers will be able to compare nutrition the same way they compare pricing.
Developed by Dr. David Katz and a team of twelve nutrition and medical experts, the NuVal System weighs nutrients with favorable health effects over nutrients with unfavorable health effects to get a single score from 1 to 100. Studies reveal that the higher the NuVal score, the lower the risk of diseases such as diabetes. “We are committed to offering our customers expert nutritional knowledge that is easy to understand, quick to locate, and simple to use,” explains Marc Robert, CEO of Robert Fresh Market. “The NuVal system not only guides customers to make more informed food choices, but provides our customers with a level of confidence in the products they choose.”
NuVal is also a great way for the whole family to learn about nutrition and get educated on the items they place in their shopping cart. Children can easily compare the nutrition of their favorite foods by glancing at the score on the tag. With the NuValÒ system, shoppers are empowered with nutritional knowledge.
