Be the main character of your own Hallmark Christmas movie at the Welcome General Store.
As we approach the holly-jolly season of nonstop Hallmark Christmas movie marathons, there’s a very good chance that dreams of quitting your job and moving to a small town to run the general store will soon be dancing in your head. Well, consider this your Christmas miracle. That’s right! You have the opportunity to become a big-time shopkeeper in the very small town of Welcome, Texas, an unincorporated community in northwestern Austin County. There, you’ll be the star of the show when you purchase the historic, one-of-a-kind Welcome General Store, which has been a center of activity and commerce for more than a century.
There’s a lot to love about the vintage 2,758-square-foot, 1.244-acre property, starting with quaint signage and a row of red rocking chairs that greet patrons. Step inside, and you’ll find a fun bar (filled with memorabilia and booze), old-school barstools, a spot for musicians to perform, kitchen for food prep, plenty of tables and chairs, and even shuffleboard.
But wait, there’s more! You can provide customers with an experience just as great in the great outdoors. Out back, you have a beer-garden entertaining area beneath a lush oak tree, additional green space, two metal storage sheds, and plenty of room for parking. All that space means that you can lean into the past and keep things as-in when you take over; start over completely with new construction, super cool merchandise and a brand-new menu; or split the difference and take on an addition so you can do a little of both. The beauty of this purchase is that you get to write the script.
