BERGHEIM, Texas — One of the oldest general stores still operating in Texas will soon be history.

 

The Bergheim General Store, in the town of the same name northeast of Boerne, is closing up shop. The store's longevity was made possible by faith, family and hard work.

 

Since 1903, the Bergheim General Store has been open for business and operated by high school sweethearts Stanley and Charlene Jones. After all, it runs in the Engel-Jones family.
