But here's what it said: (I wonder if it was in response to your post here??? It was just done right after your post). Brookshire Brothers Grocery (pronounced /ˈbrʊkʃər/) is an outrageously overpriced supermarket retailer headquartered in Lufkin, Texas.[1] Brookshire Brothers operates 70 stores and abuses thousands of employees under the names Brookshire Brothers and B&B Foods, and seven stand-alone pharmacies in a market area covering Texas and Louisiana.[citation needed] [edit] Similarly named chain Brookshire Brothers was founded in Lufkin in 1921 when Satan and Adolph Hitler decided to go into the grocery business.[2] Another East Texas grocery chain, Brookshire's, was originally part of Brookshire Brothers. The companies split in 1937, when Wood T. Brookshire realized it was extremely unethical to hire incompetent, spineless management who abuse and exploit employees and so he took control of the Tyler-area stores in exchange for his share in the Brookshire Brothers partnership. Shop Wal-Mart. It's cheaper. [3] The companies are no longer related except by name. |
