Braly's Ace Hardware of Jacksonville has a family owned history that spans five generations of dedication to customer satisfaction. The store provides customers with hardware tools, gardening supplies and home improvement products. While the business currently resides in Jacksonville, its roots are over in Palestine, where it was the first winner of the TTBA in 2015.
The Texas Historical Commission started handing out TTBAs to businesses in 2005 and has since awarded many business with a Texas Treasure decal that is displayed at the front of the establishment. The emblem is a sign of Texas owned pride and devotion to customers that walk in. The THC recognizes businesses that have consistently generated tax revenue and stimulated the economy.

Walmart reveals plans for game-changing addition to store parking lots: 'We're talking about thousands of locations'

Walmart has shared fresh details about plans to roll out a massive network of electric vehicle chargers across the United States, Charged EVs reported. In 2023, the company announced that it would install chargers at thousands of Walmart and Sam's Club locations by 2030. Three pilot sites are now open, with two in Texas and one in Arkansas. "We're talking about thousands of locations with tens of thousands of chargers online by the end of this decade," according to charging industry expert Tom Moloughney. Drivers will be able to start a charging session through the Walmart app by scanning a code on the charger, per Charged EVs. Walmart operates more than 5,200 stores across the country, and 90% of Americans live within 10 miles of a Walmart or Sam's Club, the company estimates. This broad reach means the rollout can make fast public charging more accessible to millions of drivers who struggle to find a place to charge their vehicle. The average gas-powered car releases over 5 tons of harmful air-polluting carbon each year. EVs, on the other hand, produce no tailpipe pollution. Even plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles produce far less tailpipe pollution than gasoline vehicles. EVs are not only better for the environment, but they're also better for your wallet. EV owners spend about 60% less each year on fuel or charging costs than owners of comparable gasoline vehicles. In this case, prices at Walmart and Sam's Club could be lower than the cost of charging at other stations — Moloughney paid about 42 cents for each kilowatt-hour of electricity at one site, slightly less than other options in the area. Would you be more likely to drive an EV if you could charge it in 5 minutes? Yes Depends on the cost No way I already have an EV Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Walmart's new stations will be powerful enough to add hundreds of miles of driving range in less than half an hour, Charged EVs added. The retailer's stations will feature the two main types of fast-charging plugs in the U.S., which are CCS1, used by most non-Tesla electric cars, and NACS, the slimmer plug design created by Tesla that many carmakers are adopting. Other major companies are making similar investments — Ikea has expanded EV charging access at its stores, for example. For customers with EVs, this news could mean faster charging and more access to stations, reducing travel planning stress and making EV ownership even more practical.

Bear sightings in East Texas prompts caution from officials

TYLER, Texas (KETK)– Texas Parks and Wildlife is reporting several bear sightings across East Texas and encouraging people to stay away from its path. Experts said it's a rare sight for East Texans to spot a bear because the last few bears in the state are predominantly found in the southwest; however, one bear is being spotted all across the piney woods. 'We believe it's a male, young male, subadult,' Texas Parks and Wildlife District biologist Ruben Gay said. 'It has a signature upside-down Nike swoosh in a way that looks like it is on the right side of his face, so that's helping us verify it.' Endangered horned lizard conservation center at Caldwell Zoo in Tyler sees big hatch Gay said with over 14 reported sightings across East Texas, they've been able to track his travels as he moves loosely. 'We first started tracking it in the park's Texas area near Mud Creek, kind of over there near 204 and 110 area in Cherokee County on July 15th,' Gay said. Seemingly every corner of East Texas has seen this bear with sightings in Anderson, Cherokee, Rusk and Panola counties. This youngster has potentially found the bare necessities in the piney woods. 'This bear has been making his rounds and we've been monitoring and tracking it for about a month now,' Gay said. Experts at the Caldwell zoo said the bear most likely came from Louisiana, scouting out a potential new home. ' Especially if it's a young male, they actually get kicked out about two years old, kicked out from their family group.' Cadwell Zookeeper Kailee Murphy said. 'They have to go find their own territory, and they've got to go experience life on their own. Just like all you guys going back to school, and so he is just probably looking for his new territory or looking for some scraps here and there.' As he tracks this new trail, the Texas black bear alliance is warning people to leave him be 'A fed bear or a bear that has human animal conflict is a dead bear, and we just don't want to see that happen,' Vice Chair of the Texas black bear alliance Kati Krouse said. Texas Parks and Wildlife also warns that attempting to target this animal could result in severe penalties and jail time. 'It could be severe monetary penalties and jail time, and the fees could exceed 12 grand,' Gay said. 'So be respectful of this animal passing through and just enjoy it.' If a bear is spotted, Texas Parks and Wildlife asks that all sightings be reported by contacting the local department.
