Southerns Expands to Hammond: New Location Coming to Channell Shopping Center

We’re excited to announce that Southerns, the award-winning chicken sandwich restaurant born in Louisiana, is officially expanding to Hammond, LA, with their second location set to open soon in the Channell Shopping Center.

The deal was brokered by Matthew Saucier of Gulf States Real Estate Services, continuing our mission of connecting thriving local businesses with strategically located commercial spaces throughout the region.

A Brand on the Rise

Southerns has quickly gained a cult following for their signature Southern hospitality, high-quality ingredients, and purpose-driven growth model. With their original location in New Orleans, Southerns has become more than just a place to grab a great sandwich; it’s a company rooted in team empowerment and community connection.

In a recent announcement, the Southerns team shared their vision:

“Our dream is to have GMs making 6 figures and running their own location. We believe any good idea or product is only as valuable as the people that make it come to life, and we have some amazing people on our team.”

Their expansion to Hammond is a strategic move, especially with Southeastern Louisiana University just minutes away, and they plan to have the new location operational within the next 60 days.

Channell Shopping Center: A Prime Retail Destination

Located in the heart of Hammond, the Channell Shopping Center offers high-visibility frontage, strong daily traffic counts, and an ideal tenant mix for retailers and restaurateurs. With Southeastern Louisiana University and a growing local population nearby, this center continues to attract both local entrepreneurs and regional brands seeking to expand their presence.

Partnership with Gulf States Real Estate Services

At Gulf States Real Estate Services, we take pride in working closely with business owners to find the right spaces for growth. Matthew Saucier, who represented the landlord in this transaction, commented:

“Southerns is a fantastic addition to the Hammond community. Their story, energy, and food are a perfect match for the vibrancy of this market, and I’m excited to see their impact.”
