Bourque’s Specialties will close its mid-town Lafayette location on Sunday before it moves to a larger location. Manager Nick Savant said the specialty meat shop will leave its location at 3211 Johnston St. for a larger, 2,600-square-foot space that would allow for more specialty grocery items to be sold. He declined to give specifics on the move. Bourque’s, known for its jalapeno sausage cheese bread and other prepared foods, has been at that space since 2019, Savant said. The Port Barre-based business dates back to 1948 out of the home of Adolph and Yvonne Bourque and expanded into its first grocery store location in Port Barre.
