OUR STORY
OUR STORY

The Beginning
On Sept. 1, 1928, Wood T. Brookshire opened a small grocery store in downtown Tyler, Texas (pictured). The store was only 2,500-square-feet and had four employees. W.T. laid a solid foundation on the principle of great service (he was known to literally jump over the counter to help his customers), and it kept the company growing. By 1939, he had established an office and bookkeeping department and had three stores operating in Tyler, one of which being the first air-conditioned grocery store in East Texas. His fourth store was the first outside of Tyler, opening in Longview, Texas, in 1939.

Over 90 Years of History
BGC has expanded significantly since 1928. The first store outside of Texas was opened in 1961 in Shreveport, La., and the company also expanded into Arkansas in 1975. The Super 1 Foods banner was created with the first store opening in 1984 in Alexandria, La. The company also expanded its Logistics operations with warehouses being opened in 1953 and Monroe Distribution Center and SouthWest Foods warehouse being purchased in the 90s. The FRESH by Brookshire’s store opened in 2011 in Tyler, and Spring Market banner was launched in 2016 with the opening of 25 new stores.

BGC Culture
At BGC, our number one focus is our people. Our tradition of outstanding service was instilled 90 years ago when our founder, W.T. Brookshire, set the bar on customer service and established a people-first mind set. This same commitment extends to our employees – the more than 15,000 people who help make BGC successful every day. “Partner” is the term we use to describe all employees because of our belief that we are all partners working toward the common goal of keeping BGC successful while serving our communities.

Partners volunteer approximately 20,000 hours annually, and BGC donates a portion of profits each year to hundreds of charitable organizations that support hunger relief, education, health, child and family wellbeing, and veterans. BGC hosts two annual races – the FRESH 15 in Tyler, Texas, and the Brookshire’s and Super 1 Foods Heroes Run in Shreveport, La., and has raised over $1 million for charities since BGC Racing’s inception in 2014.
