Brackman-Ker operated in many BC communities, including a location on the north side of Fraser Highway at Innes Corner that opened in 1917. For many years it was a local landmark, as the grain elevator was one of the tallest buildings in the area. The store provided residents with a variety of feed, the most popular being a dairy mix and a laying mix for poultry. Brackman-Ker was for years a competitor for Buckerfields, but was ultimately absorbed by the other company. The old office, warehouse and elevator tower on Fraser Highway were demolished in 1954.

Buckerfields absorbed the Brackman-Ker Milling and Feed Company. Buckerfields remained at their downtown Langley location until 1986, when they moved to a building on the east side of 200th Street, south of the Langley Bypass (but north of the train tracks). It closed permanently on 1998 and the land was redeveloped.
