Well, actually it was Winn Dixie, sort of. When my family moved to Aledo in 1987, the only grocery store was IGA Thrift Mart, and it was across the highway from where it is now. You know where the State Farm and the license tag office is? That was the old Thrift Mart. Then they built the Winn Dixie in I think 1997 or 1998, then when WD closed, Brookshires bought the building and moved to the other side of I-20.

I'm full of useless information and trivia, lol!! But that area has grown by leaps and bounds! I remember when all there was to Willow Park was the Chevron station and Thrift Mart.

BTW, did you ever go to the East Parker County library? If you did you may have met my mom. She worked there until she had hip surgery about a year and half ago. Her name is Linda.
