Brookshire Grocery Company has been running stores since 1928. Family-owned for nearly a century, it now operates over 215 locations across Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma under banners including Brookshire's, Super 1 Foods, Spring Market, Fresh by Brookshire's, and Reasor's. More than 19,000 employee-partners serve 165 communities in a regionally concentrated footprint.
The threat model for a regional grocer is broad and tangible: point-of-sale infrastructure handling millions of card-present transactions, a distributed network of store-level endpoints, supply chain integrations with vendors and logistics partners, and an expanding digital surface through loyalty programs and e-commerce. The attack surface scales with each new location and banner, and the PCI DSS compliance burden alone demands sustained operational rigor.
Cybersecurity here isn't abstract. It means defending payment systems across 215+ stores, securing a workforce of nearly 20,000 who touch sensitive customer and operational data daily, and maintaining continuity across a four-state operation where downtime hits real people buying groceries. The role sits at the intersection of retail infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and incident response in an industry where breaches make national headlines.
Headquartered in Tyler, Texas, the company offers comprehensive benefits including medical coverage, 401(k) plans, employee discounts, and educational scholarships. As a private, family-owned business, decisions don't get filtered through quarterly earnings calls - there's room to build for the long term.
