Job Description

Brookshire Grocery Company (BGC) is a well-established and respected grocery retailer based in Tyler, Texas. Serving communities across Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma, BGC operates over 215 stores under five distinct banners: Brookshire's Grocery Company, Super 1 Foods, Spring Market, Fresh by Brookshire's, and Reasor's. BGC is known not only for its diverse retail footprint but also for its deep commitment to fostering a supportive workplace culture where employees, known as partners, can thrive and grow professionally. The company emphasizes community building, employee wellness, and providing meaningful career opportunities. This dedication has positioned BGC as a premier employer in the grocery retail sector, attracting individuals who are passionate about customer service, quality food products, and working within a dynamic team environment.

The Kitchen Partner role at Brookshire Grocery Company is a part-time position located at the Fate, Texas store at 5100 E. Interstate 30. This role is essential to the food preparation and kitchen operations within the store, supporting a range of activities related to cooking, packaging, labeling, pricing, and maintaining the quality of prepared food products. Kitchen Partners assist the kitchen team by following established recipes and food safety standards, ensuring that all prepared items meet the company’s quality control benchmarks. The role involves hands-on work with food slicing, weighing, packaging, and merchandising, alongside maintaining accurate stock levels and product presentation.

This position offers a supportive work environment with flexible scheduling options including nights, weekends, and holidays, making it suitable for individuals seeking part-time employment or supplemental income. Kitchen Partners are also encouraged to engage with customers through friendly interactions, answering questions, and facilitating special order requests to enhance customer satisfaction and promote product sales.

Brookshire Grocery Company provides a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, vision, dental, and prescription coverage, as well as paid time off, a 401(k) plan with company contributions, exclusive employee discounts, educational scholarships, and access to recreational facilities. These benefits demonstrate BGC’s commitment to employee well-being and professional development.

The Kitchen Partner position requires individuals to have basic mathematical skills, the ability to safely operate kitchen equipment such as commercial ovens and meat slicers, and the capability to maintain a clean, safe, and sanitary work environment. While prior experience is not explicitly required, partners must uphold strict adherence to food safety protocols and safety standards under supervision. The role also demands physical stamina for standing, walking, lifting, and maneuvering objects frequently weighing up to 40 lbs and occasionally up to 75 lbs. The company encourages a team-oriented attitude and clear communication skills to foster a productive and enjoyable workplace atmosphere.

With a strong focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, Brookshire Grocery Company is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to creating an environment free from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, military status, and other protected categories.
