Brookshire’s Fires up ‘Summer Backyard Barbecue Giveaway’ Online Sweeps

July 7, 2009

Brookshire’s Food & Pharmacy is promoting its Brookshire’s Best Angus Beef in the “Summer Backyard Barbecue Giveaway,” for which one customer will win a $10,000 backyard makeover grand prize package that includes a year’s supply of beef.

The online contest invites customers to enter using their e-mail address through the company’s Web site (brookshires.com); customers may enter once a day to win the grand prize or one of three first prizes: a year’s supply of Brookshire’s Best Angus Beef. They can also play an instant-win game for a chance to receive one of 200 store gift cards valued at $50 each.

The grand-prize and first-prize winners will be selected and announced in August, while instant winners will be notified via e-mail.

Tyler, Texas-based Brookshire Grocery Co. has expanded its retail operations to more than 150 stores in four states -- Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi -- with three distribution centers and seven manufacturing facilities.
