The Bandera General Store, a historic establishment built in 1907, showcases its rich past with original wood floors and a unique tin tile ceiling, serving various roles throughout its lifetime, including a saddle shop and movie theater. Now, it features a vintage soda fountain, one of only 11 fully operational from the 1950s in Texas, where patrons can enjoy delicious treats made with Blue Bell Ice Cream.

In addition to its nostalgic offerings, the store serves as the only bookstore in town, providing a selection of modern fiction, biographies, and local history, alongside a wide variety of locally made jams, jellies, and hot sauces. The basement houses Arkey's Silver Dollar Saloon, one of Texas' oldest honky-tonks, adding to the store's unique character and charm.

Fun little tourist trap with all the usual goodies one finds at a Texas souvenir shop. The thing we liked best and what we ended up getting were the walking sticks. Hub got a nice one of local...
