Cajun Louisiana instead of Mississippi, but “Make Groceries” -going to the store to shop for groceries. Just looked it up and apparently it’s from the French “faire son marché”.

Reminds me of the old Northwestern department store chain “The Bon Marché.” Through lots of mergers, it finally became Macy’s, part of Federated. The Bon Marché used to be one of the best-known retailers in the Northwest, with about 40 stores throughout the region.
