What businesses are opening in Shreveport and Bossier City in 2022?
With 2021 coming to a close, what businesses can the Shreveport-Bossier area expect in 2022?
From state-of-the-art apartments to seasonal cookies the check out our list of businesses to look for in the new year.
Fairfield Estates
A new apartment complex will be coming to the Highland neighborhood in 2022. Once home to the historic Wilkinson Terrace, Fairfield Estates will be redefining affordable housing.
"We usher in a new chapter and we prepare for a resurgence in our city,” Perkins said.
The demolition of Wilkinson Terrace should be completed by January 2022, and the following month Fairfield Estates should be completed and ready for move-in.
Wilkinson Terrace, a 184-unit apartment complex, was completed in 1951 under the Housing Act of 1949.
Fairfield Estates will not look like affordable housing built in the 1950s with over 184 units in one complex. But, will rather be two standalone complexes with six units in each complex.
Brookshire's Grocery and Pharmacy
Brookshire's Grocery and Pharmacy is expanding its reach in the Shreveport-Bossier area with two new locations.
"It is a new model a lot of new things we have never put in a store before, new layout, so we are just very excited, this will be the best grocery store we have ever built in company history," Brad Brookshire, Chairman and CEO of Brookshire Grocery Company said.
The Bossier location will be on Airline Drive and will be Brookshire's first step in moving north of I-20. The Shreveport location will be in south Shreveport off of Norris Ferry Road.
