Most notably in North Texas, several Brookshire Grocery Co. stores have been temporarily closed because of the outage — though a company spokesperson did not disclose which and how many locations were affected.
Brookshires has 25 stores in the North Texas area, according to the brand’s media relations, and more than 210 stores across four states. The store’s North Texas locations mostly sit outside urban areas in places like Forney and Red Oak, among others.
“Our IT team is quickly working to resolve the technical issues at the impacted stores,” a Brookshire spokesperson said in a statement. “We are hopeful that all stores will reopen soon, once the issues have been resolved. Our team has already been able to resolve several stores’ connections this morning so far.”
A spokesperson with Albertsons, which also owns the Tom Thumb chain, said that “our stores have not had a significant impact” on selling groceries.

“There are some minor issues behind the scenes,” the Albertsons spokesperson said, but none that would impact customers.
H-E-B is not impacted by the outage and all of the brand’s stores are open, according to media relations.
