Brookshire Brothers gets a warm Hill Country welcome from the folks in and around Canyon Lake.  The community showed up in big numbers Wednesday, February 3rd for the store’s soft opening. The Lufkin-based company has opened its 34,000 square foot grocery store on FM 306 and the Marina Road, bringing aisles of fresh options, prepared foods and extensive wine and beer offerings to the region. On Wednesday, the 10th, the entire community is invited to help cut the ribbon, hear the high school band, register for prizes and sample some fabulous foods at the official kick off to a month of Grand Opening festivities.

From sushi, hand-rolled daily, to the Daily Delish featuring the best fried chicken in town – Brookshire Brothers is known for its extensive deli, bakery and hot meal options. The produce department is also extensive featuring a wide array of organics and Texas-grown fruits and vegetables.

The store is green and clean – featuring dark sky compliant lighting, reclaimed wood fixtures, and daylight harvesting. The store’s Canyon Lake Café has a piece of the Canyon Lake High School gym’s sideline hanging on the wall as well as a rotating exhibit of student and community art. Healthy happens at the Pharmacy with immunizations, medication consultations, health screenings and a convenient drive through.

A Growler bar on site will serve Texas craft beer on tap. Wine by the glass will also be available with happy hour specials and featured wine and beer samplings. The Canyon Lake Café Patio and Outdoor Garten will feature musicians, storytellers and singers throughout the weeks of the grand opening. This spring and summer it’s expected to be a gathering place for the community.

In addition to the store, there’s a convenience store on site with fuel, grab and go foods and beverages. It’s positioned on the way to the marina, for the ease of residents and visitors on the way to the lake.
