A new chapter is unfolding for our family of businesses: Bryans Auto Supply, Bryans Signs and High Impact Graphics, Bryans Motorcycle Museum, and Bryans Computers. Each of these businesses has served Eastland and beyond for decades, and each is now entering a new season of transition, growth, and legacy.
Bryans Auto Supply, a trusted name in Eastland since 1985, is in the process of transitioning ownership. A Letter of Intent has been signed with Mahlon and Ingrid Leblanc, owners of a successful multi-store NAPA operation with nearly 300 employees. While the sale is not yet final, the expected takeover date is June 1, 2025. What began as a family-run store founded by Bryan, Tina, and Bryan’s parents, Kay and Bertie Jackson, has grown into a reliable cornerstone of the community. As part of this transition, all current employees will remain on board under the new ownership, ensuring stability and continuity for both our staff and our customers. We are confident that the Leblancs’ leadership will bring new resources and continued service to our loyal customers and valued employees. We are deeply grateful for the support that has made these last four decades possible.
Bryans Signs and High Impact Graphics, founded by Bryan in 1980 with hand-painted signs, has now transitioned into the capable hands of our son Daniel Jackson. Operations are relocating to a new facility at 900 W Main in Eastland, with the opening set for Monday, May 5, 2025. Daniel has long been the creative force behind the business, leading with excellence, innovation, and vision. His wife Ashley Jackson will take on daily operations, continuing the family legacy passed down by Tina Jackson. The business name, phone numbers, text app, email address, and Facebook presence will all remain the same. The future includes expanded print and wrap services, wholesale partnerships, LED signage, and even AI-generated design solutions.
Bryans Motorcycle Museum has also entered a new phase. The entire collection has moved to the Eastland County Museum at 115 S Seaman Street, where it will be open to the public Thursdays through Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM, beginning this Thursday. The exhibit showcases over a century of Jackson family motorcycle history, from Bryan’s record-breaking stunt career to his grandmother riding an Indian motorcycle in the 1920s. Visitors will find a nostalgic and inspiring collection of bikes, memorabilia, trophies, photos, and stories that celebrate heritage, perseverance, and passion.
Bryans Computers, founded in 1995, was recently sold to TXOL Plus, now located on the square in Eastland and owned by Richard Barron. For years, this business provided dependable technology solutions to homes, schools, and companies in the area. Richard and his team continue to grow the company and serve our region with integrity and innovation. We thank everyone who supported Bryans Computers throughout its history and encourage continued support of local businesses like TXOL Plus.
These transitions represent more than just a change in ownership or address. They reflect the heart of a family that poured its passion into serving this community, raising the next generation, and honoring God in every step. We are stepping into a new season with confidence and gratitude, knowing that each of these businesses will continue to thrive in strong and capable hands.
To our loyal customers, friends, and neighbors, thank you for the decades of support. We hope you will continue to support these businesses as they grow into the future.
Bryan and Tina Jackson
