The Louisiana Hospitality Foundation marked its 14^th year of giving by granting $5,000.00 to support Gendusa’s Italian Market, a locally-owned restaurant located in Kenner, LA. The restaurant was destroyed by fire before dawn on Tuesday, June 16, which was determined a complete loss but no one was hurt.

The grant from the Louisiana Hospitality Foundation was presented in the form of purchase credits for two restaurant supply companies, which will allow Gendusa’s the flexibility to use available cash resources for other business needs. Mr. Gendusa recently announced the purchase of a building two doors down and hopes to open within days for serving their customers again.
