A Bit of Our History

Lyndon Baines Johnson, 36th president of the United States, was the most prominent graduate from Texas State University located just blocks from the Manske Roll Bakery. While the Manske Grill didn’t open until the 1940’s, Johnson graduated in 1930, Johnson encountered the delightful creation on one of his numerous trips back to San Marcos for political functions. Once in office, LBJ had the delicious rolls sent to the White House, perhaps to enjoy a piece of his younger, less stressful days.

San Marcos Classic Reopens

Valentino’s closed for Thanksgiving in 2018 and quietly never reopened. Bobbi and Carter Hill sold the building to a new owner who was prepared to lease it to a new business that would probably not be pizza or even a restaurant. That’s when he approached Cody Taylor and Harlan Scott who had just opened Industry in 2018 which was actually named after their love for the service industry. Their 20-year friendship and love for the industry began in college working at an iconic restaurant that changed the lives of locals and its employees, just like Valentino’s did. Valentino’s today is not a reopening or a remodel of the old Valentino’s; that was impossible to do. Valentino’s today pays tribute to a restaurant that served so many and sold pizza, too.

We realized that dog lovers needed a great go-to store for their pet needs — without having to drive to Austin or, heaven forbid, a big-box retail store for food, toys, and treats. Shaggy Dog Market is a locally owned, home-grown business.

We want shopping at Shaggy Dog Market to be an experience the whole family can enjoy. We also want to do everything we can to see that your pets get the best and healthiest products available.
