    May 8 2025

    What happens when a hometown man mixes community spirit with premium bourbon? In this episode, we sit down with Brandon, lifelong resident of Ascension Parish and owner of the beloved Curve Mart—a go-to spot for plant workers and whiskey lovers alike.

    Brandon shares his journey, how Curve Mart became a local favorite, and how he’s giving back in a big way—presenting a check to a local veterans’ group and hosting a can’t-miss giveaway for a rare bottle of Old Forester 2024 Birthday Bourbon.

    Tune in to hear why supporting local businesses matters now more than ever, and how one man is blending commerce with community impact. 🎙️🔥

    Don’t miss your shot at some bourbon-fueled inspiration—and maybe even a prize.

    KEEP UP WITH CURVE MART!
