| I had to revert it back to it's original. But here's what it

|
|
| Brookshire Brothers Grocery (pronounced /'br?k??r/) 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.

That's what I just read, still there as of 1:15 pm edt.
