The remaining veterans, traveling back to Texas, will arrive at Tyler Pounds Regional Airport at 6 p.m. The public is invited to attend and help welcome home our local heroes.

Brookshire Grocery Company is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the company-owned Partner Recreation Area! The 250-acre property located along the shores of Lake Palestine officially opened in 1974 exclusively for partners of the company and their guests. For the past five decades, the Recreation Area has been a great place for various company and family gatherings. It is open year-round and is an additional perk for those employed at BGC.

Today is a special day as Brookshire Grocery Company celebrates 96 years of serving our customers and communities!

We continue to grow and develop, and we look forward to serving our communities for many years to come. We thank our partners for their incredible commitment to honoring our Core Values and are proud of the future we are building together.

We're still buzzing with excitement over the incredible teamwork and dedication displayed during last week's opening of our Reasor's store in Broken Arrow! This new generation Reasor's, led by Store Director Scott Norby, offers covered curbside service, self-checkouts, a drive-thru pharmacy, an outdoor grill and bar, patio dining, live music, and a family-friendly playground.

The 34th annual BGC Golf Tournament broke records this year, raising nearly $1 million for charity! We are so thankful for our vendor partners who joined BGC at two events this spring to raise $921,700 for charity. This brings the total funds raised to nearly $10 million since the tournament’s inception in 1988. Proceeds from this year’s BGC Golf Tournament will benefit hundreds of nonprofit organizations within our market areas.

In the wake of the recent tornadoes and windstorms that struck our market area, BGC responded by deploying our Community Kitchen and a dedicated team of partners to two of the hardest-hit communities. Over 2,500 meals were served to those affected in Claremore, OK, and Mabank, TX. Additionally, we distributed three truckloads of free water and ice to those in need. At BGC, we are there for our partners and customers in times of need and are committed to Building Greater Communities.
