GRETNA –A Jefferson Parish woman is suing a national supermarket chain for injuries she claims occurred on the premises on one of its stores.
Marcia Crout filed suit on June 12 against Variety Wholesalers, Inc. and the Super Dollar Store in the 24th Judicial District Court.
Crout claims she was shopping at the Super Dollar Store located at 6594 Westbank Expressway in Marrero when she stepped on a clear sticky substance and fell to the floor. The plaintiff alleges the fall resulted in painful and serious injuries.

An unspecified amount in damages is sought for pain and suffering, permanent damage, loss of enjoyment of life and medical expenses.

The case has been assigned to Division H Judge Glenn B. Ansardi.
