BOSSIER CITY, La. — In honor of Military Spouse Appreciation Day on Friday, May 9, 2025, the Bossier Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Northwest Louisiana Military Support Foundation (NWLA MSF), is joining forces with local businesses to show heartfelt appreciation for the spouses who stand strong behind our service members.
As part of Military Appreciation Month, participating Bossier businesses are offering enhanced discounts for military spouses:
- Simply Chic Boutique
- Rosewood Home and Baby
- Birdwell’s
Each of these locally owned businesses already offers military discounts year-round (typically 10–15%), but for this special day, they will increase their discounts to 20% for military spouses who present a valid military ID at checkout.
“We are honored to support the Chamber’s Spouse Appreciation Day and offer our gratitude in a small way for our military families in our community,” said Angela Pfanner, owner of Birdwell’s.
In addition, the NWLA Military Support Foundation has teamed up with Barksdale Federal Credit Union to provide free drinks at Brewteaful Café on Barksdale Air Force Base from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. on May 9.
“Military Appreciation Month is a meaningful opportunity for our business community to demonstrate how much we value the service and sacrifices of our military families,” said Krista Augustson, Military Relations Liaison for the Bossier Chamber of Commerce. “While our local businesses support Barksdale Air Force Base and other military units throughout the year, May allows the entire community to show collective gratitude to the spouses and families who serve alongside our military members.”
The Bossier Chamber invites all area businesses to join this monthlong celebration and consider ways they, too, can recognize military families.
