JACKSON,
Tenn., Dec. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Brooks Shaw's Old Country Store continues its annual
Christmas Eve Breakfast tradition Saturday,
Dec. 24, 2022, from 5:30 a.m. until 2
p.m. at 56 Casey Jones Lane in Jackson, Tennessee. The event offers families
the opportunity to spend time with each other, shop for last-minute
gifts and meet Santa Claus.
The all-you-care-to-enjoy Southern breakfast buffet will include
the traditional fare — sausage links, fried bologna, country ham,
eggs and fruit — at a special price for Guests. "The day isn't
about making a profit; this is our gift to the community," Old
Country Store General Manager Brooks
Shaw said.
The gift to the community started under the leadership of the
late Clark Shaw, Brooks Shaw's father, in the 1980s. Over the
years, the entire Shaw family and Old Country Store team have
played a role in making the breakfast a success. Clark would greet
Guests, and his late mother, Anne
Shaw, led a prayer with the team before the doors opened. A
young Brooks, along with his grandmother, Anne, greeted Guests
throughout the day.
As many as 200 to 300 Guests have been known to wait in line
before the doors open. "The one- to two-hour wait in line is part
of the tradition. That's why we have the activities for families
and children while they're in line," Shaw said. "For us, this has
always been our official Christmas kickoff, and Christmas Eve was
the favorite work day of the year for dad and me."
Approximately 1,500 to 1,800 Guests have eaten during the
Christmas Eve Breakfast each year.
In previous years, the buffet treated guests to 840 pounds of eggs,
2,432 sausage patties, 700 pounds of country ham and 2,880
biscuits.
The Old Country Store Christmas Eve Breakfast has always sought
to remind the community of the reason for the Christmas season and
encouraged Guests to read Luke 2:1-20; Matthew 1:18-25; and 2:1-12.
"We're honored to provide this event in the community, and we
appreciate the years of support," Shaw said.
Brooks Shaw's Old Country Store
has been in business for 57 years. With about 100 team members
employed, they serve more than half a million residents and
tourists each year. Built around its expansive Southern-soul
buffet, Brooks Shaw's Old Country
Store serves local, national and international guests in an
atmosphere filled with historic charm and modern updates. It also
includes Miss Anne's Ice Cream
Parlor and Miss Juanita's Gift Shop.
The campus includes Casey Jones Home
and Railroad Museum, The Farm at Casey Jones Village, Art in the
Village Gallery and The Old Country Store. More information is
