Logan Blood remembers how alive Bunkie used to be.

“I used to work in Bunkie when I was a teenager, and Bunkie used to be alive and well, and then places started closing,” Blood said in a phone interview.

Main Street is coming to life once more. And Blood and his husband Josh wanted to give back to the community and fill one of the empty buildings.

The Bloods opened LoLo’s Naturals at 1221 NW Main Street No. 2. It's next to Anytime Fitness in a building that used to house Bunkie Nail.

The Bloods used to have a booth in Griffin’s Antique & Main Street Market until they moved to their new location seven months ago.

“We had a good response from the people with crystals and such and so we decided to give it a go and put something different in Bunkie that’s affordable and that people don’t have access to unless they go to Lafayette or Alexandria,” he said.

The shop carries metaphysical items like spiritual supplies, sage, crystals, natural soaps, candles and natural stone jewelry. It also stocks CBD and THC products and nicotine vapes.

“We have CBD oils and topicals and gummies that people can use. Some people can use them for pain and anxiety or use them to help the sleep and relax,” Blood said. “The THC is also from the hemp plant and it produces euphoric feelings and some people use it for pain and relaxation. All of our products are third-party tested and approved by the Louisiana Department of Health.”

No prescription is needed to purchase CBD, THC or nicotine products, Blood said, but customers must be 21 and over to purchase. There is no age limit for entering the store.

Since they opened their own store, the response has been outstanding and they have been welcomed with open arms, Blood said.

“We still have people who come in and they are surprised that they can buy the stuff that they can here in Bunkie. And we have people from out of town who come just to come to our shop,” he said.

LoLo’s Naturals is open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
