Zachary restaurant acquires 20 acres in Central

Cajun Catch, a dine-in, take-out and drive-thru restaurant in Zachary, has purchased approximately 20 acres of land in Central as Cajun Catch Properties LLC, according to land records filed with the East Baton Rouge Parish Clerk of Court. The restaurant, located at 4347 High St. in Zachary, exclusively features farm-raised catfish, Gulf shrimp, Gulf oysters and Angus beef on its menu of poboys, burgers and catfish plates. The sellers in the deal were Glenda, Monica and Laurice Denham, and the purchase price was $240,000. Calls to Cajun Catch to inquire about the restaurant’s plans for the Central property were not returned in time for publication this morning. Meanwhile, The Rum House—located at 2112 Perkins Palms Ave., on Perkins Road near Essen Lane—has purchased an approximately 0.63-acre plot behind McAlister’s Deli and next to Investar Bank for additional parking, according to Eric Nicaud, the restaurant’s general manager. Island Time Properties LLC, managed and represented by The Rum House’s three partners, purchased the property for $515,000, and Nicaud says they hope to have the new parking lot—which should hold around 80 spots—paved by the end of August. “They’ve been working on this deal for a while now, because we’ve been spread thin for parking,” Nicaud says. “We had to jump on this now.” —Rachel Alexander
