Company News
Brookshire Grocery Company is closing four stores across Louisiana and Arkansas on 24 July 2026, following a comprehensive review of store performance and market conditions. The affected locations include Brookshire's stores in Ashdown, Arkansas; Rayville, Louisiana; and Winnfield, Louisiana, plus a Spring Market in Grambling, Louisiana. The 98-year-old chain, which operates over 200 stores across four states, said the decision was not made lightly. All affected employees have been offered transfers to nearby stores. Despite the closures, Brookshire Grocery recently reopened three remodelled stores in northwest Louisiana, indicating strategic investment in stronger-performing locations. Louisiana represents approximately 24% of the company's stores, whilst Arkansas accounts for about 8%. The closures reflect broader industry trends, with retailers optimising store portfolios amid rising costs and increased competition.
