Rouses, Associated Grocers Settle Membership Court Case

After three days in court last week, Rouses Markets and Associated Grocers-Baton Rouge have come to a settlement, the terms of which are confidential.

According to Donny Rouse, managing partner of Thibodeaux, La.-based Rouses, "The Rouse family is very satisfied with this resolution."

The Louisiana companies ended up in the state's 17th Judicial District Court over whether Rouses' membership in Associated Grocers was improperly terminated back in 2008, and whether the grocer was compensated adequately for its ownership interest in the wholesaler.
