Abandoned Brookshire's - Mineral Wells, TX

Abandoned Brookshire's - Mineral Wells, TX. Based on what Kayla told me, the reason she believes this location closed was due to poor sales because of high prices. Take into consideration of a Walmart Supercenter across the street which probably contributed to the demise of this store as well.
It appeared that vandals got inside and sprayed graffiti in areas which I highly discourage. If you explore something, please do not vandalize. Leave the place the way you found it. Take nothing, leave nothing but footprints. We came here with respect and to simply walked around this to shoot some video and keep the memory of the place alive especially for those who may have stopped here, worked here, and have stories to tell.

Originally this was a Winn Dixie . I lived in mineral wells and the Winn Dixie in Weatherford Texas and Mineral Wells closed they were bought by the Brookshire Brothers.

[@StantonsJourneys]

That frog was like humans run away lol, good explore sir. Thank you for sharing.

Brookshire’s (actually pronounced “Brook-shures”) is based in Tyler, probably about two hours East of Mineral Wells. H-E-B is the biggest grocery store chain in Texas, and they’re slowly creeping into the DFW area. They are much cheaper, and they are driving higher priced chains like Brookshire’s, Kroger & Albertsons out of business. Brookshire’s is even higher than Giant Eagle.

[@brendakrieger7000]

Thanks for sharing😎 Awesome froggy🐸

[@coltongoff456]

I like Kayla’s Slayer shirt. Just another metal/grunge person.

[@user-ci9ri4fl5pBuckeyeChessie]

No doubt is was originally built as a Winn-Dixie supermarket.

[@maccustoms2295]

Great video. Never heard of Brookshire's until watching this. Have a great weekend stay safe.

[@tonyamusser3945]

Hi Wallie and Kayla I love your videos. You both are a fun couple to watch in your videos. It is very sad that these stores you explore are no longer with us. They were wonderful stores, and they left millions of people with wonderful and cherished. Memories of shopping there. Keep up the great work. You both are sweet people. Thank you for your hard work making these videos so we can enjoy them.

[@scottuncfan]

Great video. It sure the sign says Winn Dixie!! Great grocery store we had them in Virginia

[@leslieschoenberg]

If you stop in Weatherford Texas there is an abandoned Denny's by Belk In Enid Oaklahoma there is a Dead Mall the Oakwood mall And an empty United supermarket across the street

[@slackingpacking]

Great video! Reminds me of Kroger a little. That place needs some TLC.

[@jonathancreveling5658]

The middle part where the main entrance was is now a Harbor Freight, the two ends of it are empty still, and have had new doors put in. There also used to be a Walmart and what looks like an old CVS

[@mason123z]

There is now a harbor freight at this location & Brookshire’s has just returned to the market with their acquisition of another grocery store in Mineral Wells

[@jet34thehawk]

Awesome video

[@dmax64]

Great video.

[@Gairrick]

Brookshires is based out of Tyler Texas they also own the Fiesta Grocery store chain. This store in Mineral Wells was forced out of business when the new Super Walmart came into town. I was one of the unfortunate that lost there job after 15 years of service. It was once a Winn-Dixie so seeing this video brings back some good memories!

[@chrisjohnson-kz1qy]

So sad people have to destroy places like this

[@ReallifeBambiDeerattheFarm1]

I've never understood why that is. Just because it's disused doesn't mean it's up for destruction.

[@GLeibniz1716]

Nice vid, never heard of it either, and I like Kayla's shirt. Frogger, now that's a seinfeldien reference. Be safe guys.

[@Hey_Trey29]

There is still a few Brookshire Brothers stores still open around Texas...there is one near us in Hallettsville Texas just north of Victoria

[@Tuhueleamierda1991]

I’ve never heard of brookshires until recently. There used to be a Walmart and brookshires next to each other where I live way back in the 80’s. They were replaced with big lots and a thrift store probably 2 decades ago

[@deathlok6794]

Hi I live in mw. As soon as you went behind that brookshires I was struck with nostalgia, when I was 8 or 9 (im 14 now) we would walk our dog all the way from north murco to there. Its so sad considering we moved to the other side of town and do not have that dog anymore, he was a black lab, funny that water has ALWAYS been there and that has always been nasty😂😂😂 thank you so much for doing mineral wells stuff

[@Imperial0666]

That place was originally a Winn Dixie. Brookshire's came later.

[@alanlough638]

A great video! It would've been cool if you could've caught the frog to have for a pet. Lol

[@ScareFestTTV]

Woohoo!!!

[@tpack670]

I worked at that Brookshires for about 2.5 years. I was the meat dept. manager. That was a very profitable high volume store until Walmart open the super center and closed their location in the strip center. I left a few months later and changed careers in 2006 and said good by to the grocery business after 31 years. Brookshires closed that store 12 months after walmart opened the super center.

[@brandonhaygood5286]

Dude I remember this Brookshires. My family used to go to it all the time as kids, and I remember very well shopping there, trying the free samples in the bakery and reading comics in the book section. They had this brand called Hytop which was terrible but their soda wasn't that bad. I remember we stopped by there on their last day before closing and they let us have free drinks. Weird to see this video now. I remember it always being abandoned since and them not doing anything with it. When I was 15 my friend let me drive his car in that parking lot and I accidentally crashed it into a pole. Remember the old Walmart too before the supercenter opened up. This brings back memories haha. Also you are right about the drug problems in that town. Sadly a lot of people I knew in High school turned to drugs.

[@ZeeMann_Retail]

Great work man!!

[@docchocobo]

It's a very interesting turn of events on this place. It's now a harbor freight and man is it throwing people

[@jasonlilburn8826]

It was a Winn Dixie years ago.

[@jennifergarrett6809]

All the years I've been going to Mineral Wells I don't remember them having a Brookshires.

[@deathlok6794]

Bro me neither, and I live here

[@simplysteve68]

Brookshires is mostly in the eastern and southeastern areas of Texas.

[@amanacatandhisdog8836]

Brookshires and Brookshire brothers are both grocery stores and were once the same company

[@Optopolis]

Haven't heard of that brand. Interesting! And This musta been filmed the first friday of the month when you all were in Texas lol-- Wasn't that a tornado siren test I heard in the BG?

[@leedaniels7196]

I haven’t heard of that chain either.Interesting though.

[@getalongva]

Building resembles a Winn Dixie

[@JJMCB26]

Wow! Look at that frog go! :D

[@kenw6361]

So Brookshire’s was expensive and people couldn’t afford to shop there.... kind of reminds me of Giant Eagle!

[@danestegman155]

Your guys should head up to WNY, we have had almost all the Pizza Huts closed for good here! I like that Super Frog!

[@larrygraham9134]

Actually it closed in 2007 had a job interview for produce after moving back in 2006

[@news89]

The was the security frog 🐸. It is amazing that has sit empty for so many years.

[@ericbechler9903]

[@SassyFraspondue]

They also have Brookshire’s in Louisiana all we have in Ohio the part I live are Kroger and meijer

[@matthewcampbell7985]

Brookshires mineral wells has been abandoned for 17 years.

[@rg1599]

[@zoefaith120]

The frog is the star of the video!!!!

[@74Spirit1]

It was originally a Winn-Dixie

[@jamesthefordman]

Man I have not heard of brookshire's since I was in Tyler Texas in 2008 I lived there for 2 years Tyler/ Whitehouse/troop TX I always liked brookshire's and super one foods. we have super one here but it's way different! Also pay a visit to Lake Palestine next time you go

[@thevhsman6208]

There’s a abandoned Sizzlers restaurant in Penrith NSW I will upload next weekend

[@bobhenderson4316]

also was winn dixie

[@vicksanchez6376]

There are two different Brookshire’s in Texas, the one we’re looking at is based in Tyler,Tx and the other one is based in Lufkin,Tx even though they both use the same name they are totally two different brands that don’t relate to one another, which is kinda odd if you ask me.

[@amanacatandhisdog8836]

It is brookshire’s and Brookshire brothers originally the same company. Owned by the brothers.

[@brandonb.6099]

I wonder if the poverty and drug problems in the area are a big reason why nothing has moved into this place. Brookshire's definitely has a unique look to it.

[@deronhanson5454]

used to be a winn dixie before brookshire's took it over

[@ne2448]

Former Winn-Dixie before Brookshire's

[@jakeinlow1561]

Out in benbrook texas southwest of fort worth there is another brookshires that is empty thought u be interested in another video if u like

[@robz5569]

[@stevetoombs9290]

Rob Zurburg I lived there in the 80's and it was a Winn Dixie then.

[@SassyFraspondue]

[@futonman66]

[@blueinternet4336]

It a Grocery store mainly in East Texas.

[@blueinternet4336]

This location used to be a WinnDixie

[@Imperial0666]

you aren't missing much. it seems their focus were smaller markets. they never had any stores in DFW proper.

[@gradymcclintock3766]

If the fork lifts there they could be getting ready to put something in there

[@crystalscan2002]

[@maxbellan4955]

[@larrygraham9134]
