BATON ROUGE - After fifteen years in the Baton Rouge community, Re-Bath of South Louisiana announced Tuesday that it will wind down its franchise operations in South Louisiana and South Mississippi in the next 30 days.

The closure follows the unexpected deaths of Re-Bath of South Louisiana's original owners Ronald "PePere" Leclerc and wife Janice Leclerc, who both died from cancer three years ago.

The announcement comes as a shock to customer Sandra King, who ordered a new bathroom through Re-Bath on March 26, 2018.

"I've been very upset today," said King. "You just don't think you're going to get stuck like that."

King was told the materials would arrive in four to five weeks and wrote a deposit check for $1,850. She says that check was cashed a few days later. The business promised a one-day installation with a lifetime warranty.

Monday made five weeks and that's when she started making phone calls about when her bathroom would be installed.

"I called yesterday to check on it and he told me it would be delivered next week," she said.
