Acting as part restaurant and part grocery store, Creole Nouvelle, loosely translated as, “experience the essence of Creole Cajun cuisine,” offers customers high-end Cajun style groceries including gourmet honeys and teas. Serving authentic Creole Cajun food, everything made fresh, the menu has not changed from what Brown had originally fabricated.

Parish Foods and Goods, located within two miles of what had opened as Parish Market, provided grounds for a possible legal battle in trademark and copyright infringements. Browns attorneys advised her to consider a name change knowing that Parish Foods and Goods had been in business for over two years. That’s when Brown cranked up the creative juices.

Without wanting to get involved legally and to keep potential customers from confusion, Brown temporarily closed Parish Market around Thanksgiving of last year.

“We were going to operate strictly as a quick service environment,” Brown says, referring to Parish Market. With only eight seats in the dining area at the time, most of the business was to go orders and delivery.

After receiving an array of feedback from the existing clientele including the desire to dine-in and order beer and wine, Brown decided to cease her misfortune as an opportunity to work in her favor.

“Our overall concept has not changed. Although, as the awareness of the market increased, customers wanted to sit and eat,” Brown told what now, atlanta?. She went on to say that the desire for beer and wine lead to more than just a name change.

Creole Nouvelle has opened with vengeance and a complete revamp: a change in the color scheme, additional dining as an upscale yet intimate environment, a bar, and a liquor license.

In addition to exceptional food, customer service will be a top priority for Creole Nouvelle. “Once people find out where we are and when they experience the Cajun cuisine we offer, it’s a wrap,” Brown concludes.
