I'm writing this review as a vendor at Hico Mercantile... I started out as a customer then jumped…read morein to having a booth at the store, having never done it before, and not really knowing what to expect. The store is very organized, and they have a great computer system for tagging items, keeping track of your inventory, sales, etc. It's been a lot of fun, the owners & staff are helpful, and I've learned so much. The owners communicate promptly & efficiently with any questions or concerns I've ever had. They are two of the hardest-working people, and they really want each & every vendor at the store to succeed. They basically make you feel like family. I love the concept of having multiple vendors under one roof. It's a great place to shop and I always find the best gifts, clothes, and home decor! Stop in and see for yourself. You'll likely see one of the owners at the store at all times. They are big on providing great customer service to everyone who walks through the doors. Like I said, they are two of the hardest-working people and they really want their business and their vendors to succeed.

I went into Strut Your Stuff only to find a super cool store with lots of amazing options. The owner, Barb, carries a lot of really nice jeans. I looked through, but what I was in need of was something a little lighter. I found a few nice tops that I thought would be hundreds of dollars. I could not believe how reasonable the prices were!! I will have to leave a little more room in my suitcase the next time I visit this awesome little town! I stopped myself from buying piles of jewelry. This store carries everything from gorgeous turquoise to long, tassled necklaces. Everything is really gorgeous!! Barb offered us a cool drink when we went in. I was so grateful because it was a very warm day. You never felt rushed or pushed. I'll be back!!

There are three separate shopping areas in this large 1890's renovated storefront. I felt like this store was a bit out of place in a downtown area that does not receive a lot of traffic but I wish them well. If I were a home decorator who wanted ranch chic, this place is worth driving to from Fort Worth or Granbury for the one of a kind art pieces up for sale.

I liked the building, it had that rustic feel that made it perfect for a store that seemed to specialize in rustic/rustic chic? That's probably not a real thing but I'm going with it. I totally appreciated that they were part of the downtown area of Hico. So many of the towns I visit for work have boarded up downtown areas that aren't being utilized and I love that Hico seems to be trying to keep this area alive. I hope this store does well and would definitely recommend that anyone in the area check it out for some fun gifts or furnishings!

I took my engagement ring into The Golden Butterfly to have it resized as it was just a little small for my fiancé. During inspection the jeweler told me she could not resize the ring due to it not having a karat stamp that all gold needed by law. I was unaware of this but knew that it was genuine gold so I presented the form the ring maker gave me to show it was 14k gold. She still refused and told me "I might want to consider getting my money back" which I still consider to be a very rude comment. After leaving feeling crushed I contacted the ring maker and they were very professional and sent me pictures of how a ring stamp should look and guaranteed me that my ring had did in fact have a karat stamp. I immediately saw how large these stamps are and took out the ring to find out for myself. Low and behold I found the karat stamp immediately. The woman at The Golden Butterfly had magnified lenses during the inspection of the ring and yet she couldn't find the stamp that I found immediately. Furthermore implying that I had purchased a fake ring is just the icing on the cake. I am very displeased with the service I was provided and will not return to The Golden Butterfly.

Wiseman House Chocolates - Hico, TX…read more This chocolate was requested by White House during Inauguration. This place is for connoisseurs of chocolate. It's a cute home, turned into chocolate store. When you first walk in, someone from staff greets you with a Texas Hospitality. You have multiple room options to go and explore their variety of white, dark and milk chocolates. Each chocolate is carefully crafted with only natural ingredients. If you're a connoisseur of cigars, you'll appreciate their selection of cigar-shaped chocolates. Most of the chocolates are inspired after the great state of Texas. But they offer much more than just chocolate. Most of their products is organic. They offer sauces, candles, soaps, colognes, and more. Stop by to find out all they offer. I stopped by here and bought Top 6, Signature Truffle Collection, "Wild Woman," (Bold & Dark). "Texas Pecan," (Native Pecans). "Love Potion," (Cinnamon Ancho & Chipotle). "Snooky," (Coffee & Kahlua). "Dark Rufus," (Fruity Undertones). "Southern Hospitality," (Jack Daniels). And if you're a dark chocolate connoisseur, stop by and pick up their great selection of dark options.
