Brookshire’s Museum Temporarily Closed

TYLER — Citing a recent accident at a nearby facility, Brookshire’s Food and Grocery Company has temporarily closed its museum and playground on Old Jacksonville Highway. According to a statement released by the company to KETK, there are no plans for the venue to close permanently. “However,” the statement continues, “this location will remain temporarily closed until we have taken every possible measure to ensure the highest degree of safety for our visitors and staff. Although OSHA has given us the all-clear to reopen, we are going above and beyond and taking proactive measures to perform extensive diagnostic testing following a recent ammonia leak at one of our warehouses.” The company offered no definitive timeline. More than 60,000 people tour the site every year.
