TYLER – Brookshire’s Grocery Co. (BGC) hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday to celebrate the opening of its new location in West Tyler, set to open in 2027, with a popular local restaurant joining in the festivities.The new West Tyler location will allow BGC to meet the growing needs of customers with high-quality fresh meats, produce, amenities such as Starbucks Coffee and a full-service pizza kitchen, according to BGC.
“This groundbreaking represents a significant milestone for BGC — one that I know our founders, W.T. and Louis Brookshire, would be incredibly proud of,” Jerry LeClair, interim CEO for Brookshire Grocery Co., said.
The store will also feature the classic Brookshires hometown feel East Texans love, with a modern twist from another iconic Piney Woods name. A full-service Stanley’s Barbeque restaurant and bar will be added to the BGC store family.
“Both BGC and Stanley’s have deep roots in Tyler,” LeClair said. “Together we’ll create an experience that is uniquely East Texas and uniquely Tyler. We’re Proud to partner with a local business that has become a true East Texas institution and give our customers another reason to gather, connect and enjoy a great meal together.”
In addition to providing a new place for East Texans to shop, the store will create over 200 new job opportunities in Tyler.
