Like you mentioned, there are two different chains, Brookshire Brothers
and Brookshire's. We have a Brookshire's here, but we shop at Super 1
Foods, it is owned by a cousin of the Brookshire's. They have concrete
floors and you have to bag your own groceries, but I like the produce,
the meat and the prices. Much cheaper than Brookshire's.
