On Sept. 1, 1928, our Company founder Wood T. Brookshire opened a small grocery store on the courthouse square in downtown Tyler, Texas. W.T. Brookshire began with four employees in a small, 2,500-square-feet store. He laid a foundation of core values focused on incredible customer service, tenacity and competitive grit. W.T. Brookshire believed it was his God-given calling to serve his community through the grocery industry. Because of that, Brookshire Grocery Co. is still family-owned.
Today, the company has grown to include more than 200 stores – operating under the brands of Brookshire’s, Super 1 Foods, Spring Market, FRESH by Brookshire’s and Reasor’s.
At BGC, our number one focus is on people. Our tradition of outstanding service was instilled over 95+ years ago when W.T. Brookshire made the decision to place the customer as his top priority. This same commitment extends to our employee-partners – the more than 19,000 people who help make BGC successful every day.
