Brookshire’s Food Stores

This little grocery has been around since God was knee high to a frog. Yep, that’s a long time. Unfortunately, the place looks it.
I spent my high school years in this town and other than an expansion, this store has not changed one iota. That’s a shame. A little spruce up would definitely help the shopping experience. But, I could forgive the ambiance if the selection was top notch, but it is not.
Now, this is out in the sticks and I know that the tastes around here are not sophisticated, but that does not excuse brown and dried up produce. NOTHING excuses that. On a recent trip I found dried up and half slimy green beans out for sale along with eggplants that were turning brown. YECH! The selection of produce is pretty darned paltry too. As far as meats, there are the down home cuts, like jowls, that are harder to find in more city-​fied establishments. The meat section is the one nice part of the store. As far as canned and dry goods, again, not much selection. If you don’t like the choice of one large national brand or Food Club, buddy you are S.O.L. Lastly, they do have a hot food and bakery section that I have not tried, although folks here speak rather well of it.
Sadly, the folks in this town do not have a lot of choices for shopping. Brookshires could make a decision to make a fine shopping destination, but I guess they’d rather let themselves be overshadowed by WallyWorld and go belly up in the fish bowl of life.
