Brookshire Grocery Co. (BGC) recently honored 10 employees in the company’s inaugural Wood T. Brookshire Jump Over the Counter service excellence program. The program is named to honor Wood T. Brookshire, who founded the company in 1928 and would “literally jump over the store counter to help his customers,” according to BGC.

“I’m excited to have this new program in place to show appreciation for our employees who excel in serving our customers,” said Brad Brookshire, board chairman and CEO for BGC. “Our mission is to make communities better, and one of the ways we work to achieve that is by providing a level of service that reflects how much our customers mean to us.”
