Round-up: Kleinpeter moves north … La Carreta opening Bluebonnet location

Movin’ on up: With business booming thanks to its line of Louisiana-centric ice creams, Kleinpeter Farms Dairy is expanding into the northern part of the state this week,  taking the Baton Rouge-based company statewide, fourth-generation owner Jeff Kleinpeter says. In the past few years, the company has increased its Baton Rouge-New Orleans service area along interstates 10 and 12, westward to Calcasieu Parish and eastward to coastal Mississippi; the company started offering its frozen treats in Alexandria this summer. La Carreta has new location: La Carreta, the popular Mid City Mexican restaurant, is scheduled to open a second Baton Rouge location next month on Bluebonnet Boulevard. The restaurant will open in the former On The Half Shell building during the first week of December. This will be the eighth La Carreta, joining locations in Denham Springs, Hammond, Amite, La Place and Mandeville.
