June 24th is the day! Brookshire Brothers is moving down the street, doubling its size and ushering in a new menu of items and services to the Hamilton area. The doors open at 7AM at the new Brookshire Brothers at 1004 E. Main says Store Director Joe Baker. The Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting is at NOON followed by a celebration filled with prizes, samplings, games and more! In making the announcement, Brookshire Brothers spokesperson Sally Alvis said, “We like to involve the entire community in our grand openings. From the American Legion, Boy Scouts, cheerleaders, food bank to the City Council and Fire Department, these folks are the backbone of the community. We build strong ties with them and support them throughout the year.”
Chief Operations Officer John Alston said, “The people of Hamilton have given us tremendous support and encouragement. Because of that, it made the decision easy to double our space by acquiring the lease on the former Alco location on East Main Street. The 25,300 square foot store emphasizes FRESH – with a Deli, expanded Produce and Meat Departments and Bakery. Customers will be introduced to Brookshire Brothers signature fried chicken and other home cooked weekly specials as well as grab and go items for folks on the run. Later this summer, a full service pharmacy featuring a drive thru will open, completing the Grand Opening!
