Brookshire Brothers Grocery is a supermarket retailer founded in 1921 (and still headquartered) in Lufkin, Texas.
Brookshire Brothers operates 70 stores under the names Brookshire Brothers and B&B Foods, and seven stand-alone pharmacies in a market area covering east Texas and Louisiana.
[edit] Similarly named chain
Another East Texas grocery chain, Brookshire's, was originally part of Brookshire Brothers. The companies split in 1939, when Wood T. Brookshire took control of the Tyler-area stores in exchange for his share in the Brookshire Brothers partnership. [1] The companies are no longer related except by name.
