Brown's Food Center is more than just a grocery store; we're a family-owned business deeply rooted in the heart of Hackberry and Lake Charles, Louisiana. Founded in 1978 by Jim and Janie Brown, we've been committed to providing our communities with affordable, high-quality groceries for over four decades.
What began as a small 3,600-square-foot store in Hackberry quickly expanded to meet the growing needs of our community. By 1983, we had transformed into a full-service supermarket. Our dedication to serving the region led to the opening of Brown's Market and Deli in Cameron, Louisiana, in 1991, followed by Cam Mart Shell in 2000.
In 2005, we opened Brown's Neighborhood Market in Lake Charles, bringing our commitment to quality and affordability to a new community. Unfortunately, Hurricane Rita devastated our Cameron Parish locations and caused significant damage to our Lake Charles store.
