If everything goes smoothly, Josh Priola could have his Baton Rouge Street Breads location open as early as Friday, April 5. But Priola says that’s optimism talking. “We have to make sure we execute well,” Priola says. “As of now, I’d say we’re 99% there.” The new sandwich shop will open up in the former Loft 3H space in the Perkins Road overpass area. Rather than concentrate on the meat of the sandwiches, Street Breads’ focus is on what holds them together. “It’s not this mass-produced bread,” Priola says. “It’s something done in smaller quantities.” The business originated in Priola’s hometown of Lake Charles. However, he feels the Street Breads concept was meant for a bigger market, and the decision to move was an easy one. “This idea was intended always to go to Baton Rouge,” he says. “[Street Breads] was credible in terms of a bigger marker. We felt like we could explain it in a bigger way here, and it could become more relevant.” —Matthew Sigur
