Brookside Equipment Sales, established in March, 1974, can trace its history back to humble beginnings as an importer of used agricultural equipment. Its primary business was to bring in containers of used equipment from Europe, recondition this equipment, and retail the units in the Texas Gulf Coast area. As the demand for this equipment grew, a permanent location was secured at 6359 Long Drive in Houston, which opened on August 16, 1976.
 
Recognizing the opportunities available in retailing agricultural equipment, the company began its partnership with John Deere Company, becoming an authorized John Deere Consumer Products dealer in January 1977. This broadened Brookside Equipment Sales' customer base to homeowners and "Weekend Farmers", as well as the governmental and commercial markets. With John Deere's expanded line of consumer and agricultural products, and a commitment to providing the best products and the service and support to back up those products, Brookside Equipment Sales soon became a leader in this market in the Southeast Texas area. 
 
As the city of Houston experienced unprecedented growth in the 1970's and early 1980's, Brookside Equipment Sales grew as well, establishing our Spring, Texas store in 1979 and our Jersey Village store in 1984. Both locations were positioned in high-growthsuburban areas and afforded Brookside Equipment Sales the opportunity to better serve the entire Houston-Harris County market area. With an eye on the growth in the Galveston County suburbs to the south of Houston, Brookside Equipment Sales opened its fourth retail store in LaMarque, Texas in 1987. 
 

In 1986, John Deere Company expanded its product line to include a Golf and Turf Division to sell the John Deere brand of golf course maintenance equipment. John Deere established a limited number of distributorships to market this line to the golf course industry. Brookside Equipment Sales accepted the challenge, creating a new Golf and Turf sales division. In 2000, Brookside Equipment Sales was recognized by John Deere as its #1 distributor in North America for the year. Brookside remains the preferred supplier of Golf and Sports Turf equipment in Southeast Texas, for premier golf courses and major sports facilities. We are the Official Equipment Supplier for the Houston Texans and the University of Houston Athletics Department.


In 2002, Brookside Equipment Sales acquired Rice Belt Implement, a John Deere dealer in Katy, Texas, to become the fifth retail store in the Brookside family, to service Fort Bend and Waller County markets. In December, 2005, Brookside Equipment Sales opened its doors in southwest Houston. This facility provides a convenient location for customers in the high-growth Fort Bend County suburbs.  The 2009 acquisition of DER Equipment in Angleton, Texas added a seventh member to our dealership family and cemented our commitment to providing excellent customer service to a wide area. Brookside is also committed to the future.  The relocation of the LaMarque store to League City and the Jersey Village store to a new location on West Rd.  June 2015 ushered in the addition of our eighth location in Hockley Texas when Brookside acquired Foster's Farm and Equipment Supply.  Brookside Equipment Sales has continued to grow over the years, moving the Houston Mosley location to its current, state-of-the-art South Sam Houston Pkwy facility in 2017, which also serves as the corporate headquarters for the company.  In keeping with our tradition of growth, in August of 2019, Brookside purchased Texas Outdoor Power Sales, adding our ninth location in the fast-growing city of Conroe Texas.
