History
Brookshire Brothers was founded in 1921 by brothers Tom and Austin Brookshire in Lufkin, Texas, starting as a small general store in downtown Lufkin. In 1928, the Brookshire family rallied to build a strong regional company, marking the first expansion. In 1929, Wood and W.A. Brookshire withdrew from the company to form a separate company in Tyler, Texas, which became Brookshire Grocery Company. In 1952, Brookshire Brothers acquired Moore Grocery and Lufkin Produce Company. In 1999, the company embarked on an employee-owner stock buyout. In 2014, it acquired the assets of David's Supermarkets. In 2018, it launched Brookshire Brothers Anywhere, an online shopping platform for grocery. For 100 years, Brookshire Brothers has provided for the needs of its customers and communities, growing to hundreds of grocery stores, fuel stations, pharmacies, tobacco shops, convenience stores, coffee shops and more, spanning from the Texas Hill Country to western Louisiana.
