𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟓 📸-𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 & 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐞Once upon a time, this very spot was home to Western Auto, where locals came for everything from tools to tires, a true one-stop shop for the everyday needs of our small-town community. Fast-forward to today, and the same building still brings people together, just in a much sweeter way! Now home to the Silver Saddle Saloon, it’s a favorite hangout for ice cream, cocktails, and live music, keeping the tradition of community gathering alive and well.It’s amazing how the Granbury Square has evolved, still the heart of the town, just with a little more sprinkles and fun. 🤠 @followers

I believe half the stuff we have on our old farm came from this Western Auto ❤️
Bought my first shot gun there. Jesse Fant introduced me to buy through credit.
I miss our little hometown. Growth is always good, but this has gotten way out of hand.
