While the rest of the country is finding it challenging to purchase meat in supermarket chains, there are two businesses in Abbeville whose business has picked up because of the decrease in meat nationally.
Richard’s Meat Market, Hebert’s Slaughterhouse & Meat Market, south of Abbeville, and Hebert’s Specialty Meats in Maurice have seen a spike in business for the last two weeks because of what is happening with the closure of meat processing plants in the United States.

Paul Patout celebrated 40 years at Gulf Coast Bank.
Charles Patout, Paul's father, founded Gulf Coast Bank in 1971 in Abbeville.
Paul joined the Gulf Coast Bank team in 1980 when the Bank had four branches total: Abbeville, Erath, Delcambre, and Maurice, and only 30 employees.
As with many bankers, Paul was first a teller on the front line. He then went on to work in different departments, and was always willing to help wherever needed.
