Texas-based lifestyle brand Sunshine Tienda is thrilled to announce the opening of its first retail store this December in Gruene, Texas. Known for its vacation-inspired clothing, palm hats, and colorful accessories, the brand now brings its signature “Be Vacation Happy” spirit to the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
“Opening our first storefront in Gruene feels like such a full-circle moment,” said co-founders and sisters Laura and Amanda Ernst. “We can’t wait to welcome our community into a space we’ve dreamed about since launching in 2014.”
Founded in Texas and carried by boutiques nationwide, Sunshine Tienda’s new Gruene shop will showcase best-selling pieces, exclusive in-store items, personalized monogramming, and, of course, plenty of vacation happiness all year long.
