Celebrating 90 years of providing our Friends and Customers, the BEST in ALL ways!
Our Grandfather Archie and our Great Uncle John opened their first neighborhood grocery store on the corner of Hillside and Indianola. These young Brooks brothers set out to “give you, our Friends and Customers, the BEST in ALL ways.” The date was May 20th, 1922.
Family Owned & Operated for 90 Years!
Ninety-years have gone by and the Brooks family is still serving the Des Moines community with that same goal. Our Grandmother Gwen and Grandpa Dale carried the tradition in the sixties. Our father, John sr (2nd generation Brooks at B&B) and mother, Becky operated B&B through the seventies, eighties, nineties and into the 21 century! Now, it is brothers John jr and Joe with the help of their sister Jolene (all 3rd generation Brooks at B&B) along with Jennifer, Allison, and Mack (all 4th generation Brooks at B&B) who continue operating the family business.
The faces may have changed, but the goal is the same.
After 90 years in the same neighborhood and serving at least 5 generations, it is the Brooks brothers again, John jr and Joe that aim to “give you our Friends and Customers, the BEST in ALL ways.”
