New Orleans, La., is known for many things, including food and music. However, it is also known as a city that comes together in times of crisis. That is vitally important to Brothers Food Mart owner Eddie Hamdan, who manages 45 convenience stores in the New Orleans and Baton Rouge areas ar.. ““We are a part of New Orleans,” Hamdan says. “And we try to get involved as much as possible.” Getting involved means stepping up when the need arises. In February, New Orleans was struck by a devastating tornado. Brothers Food Mart provided food and other supplies to aid the stricken community. “We really try to do everything we can,” Hamdan adds..”
The Local Flavor
The Brothers Food Mart has established a brand for itself by offering something no other convenience store provides: fresh fried chicken every day. “Our chicken sets us apart,” Hamdan says. “That, plus having a local flavor and remaining loyal to our customers.”
Hamdan’s secret recipe is a secret, but his fresh chicken is not. Fresh chicken is delivered just about every day, and prepared at the stores. “Because it is shipped practically every day, it is never frozen,” Hamdan explains. “We also serve fries made with a special New Orleans flour recipe.”

Celebs have been tweeting about the flavor and raving about the chicken, including comedian Kevin Hart. “I can’t stop thinking how good it was,” Hart said on Twitter. “I think I ate 40 pieces over the last 3 days. It was from Brothers. SO GOOD!Brothers is one of Seth Rogen’s favorite New Orleans food discoveries. In a recent interview on the web series “Hot Ones,” Rogen mentioned Brothers as one of his favorite New Orleans food discoveries.
The success of Brothers Food Mart has led to its expansion. It has already opened four new locations in the past year, two in Baton Rouge and two in New Orleans. Hamdan says he wants to keep expanding, but only in regions where the stores are already well-known.
We’re looking at Texas or Atlanta right now,” Hamdan says, although no specifics have been announced yet. “We definitely want to remain in the Gulf area, so we are considering Alabama as well.”
It doesn’t matter what state Brothers Food Mart moves into next, it is about to get a huge boost in awareness.
