TYLER, Texas – Jerry LeClair has been officially appointed CEO of Brookshire Grocery Company, the company announced Monday. LeClair, a longtime grocery industry executive, has been with the retailer since 2019 and has served as interim CEO since February following the retirement of longtime executive Brad Brookshire.

I look forward to working alongside our talented team as we continue caring for our customers, supporting our communities and building a strong future for our Company."
