Don’t miss this great store when visiting Greune, Texas!! So many interesting items to look at, you’re bound to leave with a treasure or two or ten. Located right across the street from the famous dance hall. Abundant parking behind building and other shops and restaurants are right outside the door. Highly recommend!

My husband and I enjoyed browsing through the store. If you appreciate historical buildings, you would appreciate walking through this structure to see the woodenfloors and the counters.

Cool place they have a lot of retro (back in the day) items. With Christmas coming they have a lot of Western and Texas themed ornaments. Really a lot of everything!! A must place to see when you come to Gruene.

Cute store, lots of locally themed stuff, and some more generic stuff with a nice assortment of sweets, honeys, and ice cream bar.

We loved this town and this was our favorite store!! The Bob Ross memorabilia and the selection of goodies jam packed into this historic store along with friendly, courteous employees smiling and enjoying their career there made it so fabulous! Worth the Sunday afternoon drive to shop and giggle at all the quirky funny little sayings throughout the store. I mailed some post cards back home and have mine for the memories later too. Thanks you guys! We enjoyed it so much!! β€οΈπŸ’―β€οΈ

What is a trip to New Braunfels, if you dont stop at the Gruene General store? I absolutely love this place, the atmosphere is so nostalgic and fun! This time I grabbed a Gruene General store hat, to remember this amazing place. I wear it with pride, just about everyday.

Experienced today that I could not keep my dog on a short leash to purchase souveniers for my sons. Would have spent a good amount of money. Too bad. No visible signs either. Service dogs only was told.

Review β„–18

Soooo crowded and so little space to move around. The prices were steep and although they have a wide assortment and selection of items they are all from the same kinds of brands, which aren’t remotely local. Cute, old timey feel, but only if you can get around the store and aren’t deafened by the loud noises.

This place kind of takes you back in time to when general stores were popular. It has a little bit of everything so it hard not to find some treasure to buy. The best part is the wonderful treats to eat and enjoy. Be it fudge, ice cream, or something else you will always find a delectable treat to enjoy.

Nice general store right on the entrance to Gruene. They carry all sorts of sauces, candies, souvenirs, and they have an ice cream shop. Prices are higher than the norm but it us understandable as there really isnt any other store selling g what they sell around there.

Nice little general store. Bringing a little taste of the past in a modern society. In this store you can choose to purchase nostalgic products to sitting down and enjoying ice cream from an old fashion ice cream bar. They also have a plethora of salsas and jam you could taste before purchasing. Its a go to place to visit while visiting Gruene for the day.

Cool little store with awesome fudge! We purchased a few items along with a dozen pieces of fudge. I know, right? However, the fudge never made it into our bag. We called and let them know after we had driven 2 hours south. They got our address, and mailed it to us! I will definitely go back for more next time I PS through.

The Gruene General Store is a step back in time, except for all the new merchandise. The ice cream, and candy bar are very nostalgic, and GOOD. Walking on the old wood floors under the tall ceiling is certainly historic. The store is filled with fun toys and gadgets, t shirts, and nearly anything that says TEXAS. It is a MUST stop when in Gruene, there is a bench under the side overhang for us old folks to sit while the kids enjoy their ice cream and candy.

Fun store, lots to look at. Many free samples to try, although I would be worried some kid licked every sample stick as they are at a low height and easily accessible to that kid we all have seen do it at least once in our lives.

The store was awesome but my daughter dropped the bottle of hot sauce she spent her money on for her dad. And they only give you paper bags for your merchandise, nothing with a handle on it, so you dont have good grip on it.
