Maxwell’s Market has signed a lease to build a third Baton Rouge location in the Highland Market shopping center. Ron Lewis, who owns Maxwell’s, says he hopes to open the grocery store/deli/restaurant by Nov. 1. The location, across from Ruffino’s, is slightly larger than the Maxwell’s on Corporate Boulevard and Perkins Road. “We think this is an underserved market,” Lewis says. “We have a lot of customers who live out in Santa Maria, Country Club of Louisiana and Ascension who said they wish we were closer to them.” Lewis has applied for rezoning to allow Maxwell’s to serve beer and wine; that request is set to go before the Planning Commission on June 22.—Timothy Boone
