Scrubworx & Lafayette Bargain Store
Lafayette Bargain Store was founded in 1965 by Elwood “Roscoe” Babineaux, who also opened Bevos on Johnston St in 1975. At the age of 17 Roscoe’s sons began working with their father in the store. At that time, Lafayette Bargain Store was a women’s clothing store stocking dresses, women’s shirts, and accessories. It wasn’t until an order mix up 20 years ago that Lafayette Bargain Store began selling scrubs.
Roscoe Babineaux’s sons recall that they received scrubs by mistake from their supplier instead of jogging suits. The supplier let them keep the scrubs and so they put them on the floor for sale. The scrubs were such a success, that slowly over time, more and more of the store became scrubs until that was all they sold.
In 2009, they opened a second location, Scrubworx, on Kaliste Saloom Rd and as they say, the rest is history.
