“Brookshire Brothers is exactly the kind of retail partner that defines what evermore is built to do,” said Jared Childs, VP of Growth at evermore. “In rural Texas and Louisiana, Brookshire Brothers isn’t just a grocery store — it’s a community institution. By bringing evermore benefits to their locations, we’re reaching members in places that larger national chains simply don’t serve. That’s where access matters most.”

The partnership is particularly meaningful for the senior and caregiver populations. For many, driving long distances to a large metro-area retailer is not practical. Having benefit access at a trusted local store removes a real barrier to consistent benefit utilization and preventive care.
