Brannen’s Inc. is a leading Texas distributor of fasteners, tools, and a full range of supplies for the on-site construction industry as well as the manufacturing community. Their “golden rule” service has made us successful for decades.

Fred Brannen, a former Air Force pilot, started the company in 1947 as an Army surplus store in San Antonio, Texas. By 1952, the company had evolved into a full-line distributor of on-site construction products, their core business today. They still operate at our original San Antonio location and have added two additional stores in Austin and Conroe Texas.

After expanding over the years, they grew to the point where they needed a centralized distribution center. We constructed our modern “DC” on a 13-acre site in McDade, Texas, with plenty of room for growth. Many of their administrative functions are centralized at this site as well. Today the second generation of the Brannen family runs the business, assisted by up and coming third generation family members. The company “family” also includes their employees and their many loyal customers.

At Brannen’s, their complete inventory, competitive prices, and personal service make them the supplier of choice for anyone needing fasteners, tools, and construction supplies.

Dibble’s Hobbies is, without a doubt, the oldest hobby shop in San Antonio, and it may be the oldest in Texas. We can only attribute our longevity to dumb luck and good people – our customers and employees. However, Dibble’s didn’t begin its life as a “Hobby Shop” – there was no such thing in 1905. The original owners, the Dibble family, started it as a hardware and bicycle shop in downtown San Antonio and would bring in sporting goods and toys for Christmas. The store slowly evolved into a full-time toy store by the 1950’s, carrying bikes, sports equipment, camping gear and toys. In 1955, Dibble’s Toy Store was bought by the Johnson family, who moved it to its current location in the Jefferson Village shopping center in 1957 (at a time when the “strip center” was the newest idea in retail!). Since then, it has continued to slowly change with the times and the tastes of our customers – from Dibble’s Toys in the 1950’s, to Dibble’s Toys & Hobbies in the 1960’s, to Dibble’s Arts & Hobbies in the 1970’s, and finally to Dibble’s Hobbies in the late 1980’s. The ownership also changed but always within the “family” of store employees and is now owned and operated (since 1995) by the Chladek family.

GG’s Emporium is owned by Evelyn Menchaca. Her and her husband, Ty Menchaca, run the small nostalgia, pop culture shop located in the central part of San Antonio. About 10 years ago Evelyn and Ty started clearing out some of their collection out at Traders Village flea market. What started off as a downsizing soon became a good source for supplemental income. Evelyn was a full time student and was taking care of her sick mother plus raising 2 boys and didn’t have time for a full time job. She quickly decided that she could make this side hustle a more permanent source of income. 4 years ago she decided to look into a brick and mortar location. She found a little location off Blanco Rd. in San Antonio with help of some friends. With hard work she worked a few days a week selling vintage and antique items plus comics and collectibles. Just when she felt she was getting into the strides of things a global pandemic hit and changed all plans. While everyone was stuck at home Evelyn and Ty worked harder than they had before selling items on Etsy and clearing out items they no longer wanted to carry in their shop through a live auction on instagram. At the same time that the pandemic hit they had an opportunity to expand the little shop to over double its size. In the past couple of years Ty was able to quit his job and work full time with Evelyn at GG’s Emporium. They didn’t just build the shop they always wanted but they built a community. GG’s Emporium has become a place where collectors, nerds, and fans come to shop and mingle. Its amazing to see how customers have started their own businesses and watch other customers support these businesses. GG’s Emporium wasn’t just built by Ty and Evelyn but was built by friends and fans of vintage toys, monsters, and nostalgia. Evelyn and Ty wanted a shop filled with all the things they loved, toys that bring back good memories, and the monsters from the golden age of cinema. On top of an ever changing inventory of collectibles, GG’s Emporium is also home to products made by over 20 local artists and makers.

I am thrilled to announce No. 9, a unique new retail concept store in San Antonio. Five years ago, my partner and I visited New Orleans for the first time together, and since that we trip we have been back many times. We have a love affair with the city, its people, its history, and its spirit. Every time we visit, we bring back a piece of the city’s soul and culture. No. 9 is a reflection of that. When I started Statue of Design over 9 years ago, I never anticipated the growth we’ve experienced lately. But because of the love and loyalty our clients and others in the community have shown us, I decided to expand into retail floral and gifts. No. 9 is a specialty shop focusing on unique retail floral, specialty gourmet chocolates from the Sweet Shop USA, with a focus on inspired gifts handcrafted and made in San Antonio and New Orleans. We’ve combined French Creole and Mexican culture to provide the San Antonio community with an array of products that can’t be found anywhere else. We are excited about this new venture and can’t wait to show you more! – David Garcia, Rick Gipprich Jr., and the crew of No. 9
