Opened in 1895, Justin Gras Grocery and Liquor here once stood as Shreveport's largest retail grocery business. Famous for saying "What is good for Shreveport is good for me," Gras gave to numerous causes, including a $2.3 million endowment to create what is today The Community Foundation of North Louisiana. The philanthropic legacy of Justin and Eugenie Gras continues today from this endowment to make our community a more vibrant place to live.
