Shop Small Cedar Park

If you have grown tired of the same ole’ thing at major online retailers, think LOCAL. If you are tired of the online shopping hassles of not getting what’s advertised and having to return things, just shop LOCAL. When you are racking your brain trying to think of the perfect gift for a family member, teacher, or friend but you dread the idea of scouring the mall and online shopping doesn’t feel special, think LOCAL. Not only will you likely find something unique, but more importantly you will also be supporting a local small business owner and a member of our community.

Did you know two cents of the sales tax from every dollar spent from shopping and dining in Cedar Park goes right back into the community? One cent goes to the City’s General Fund to help fund essential services such as Police, Fire, Parks and our Public Library. A half cent goes to Community Development for local quality of life enhancement projects such as parks improvements and even the Bell Boulevard Redevelopment Project. Three-eighths of a cent goes to Economic Development to help recruit and retain more businesses as well as support our City-owned H-E-B Center at Cedar Park. One-eighth of a cent goes to the Stormwater Drainage program to prevent future flooding and protect our stormwater drainage infrastructure. Cedar Park has a robust Buy Cedar Park program. Visit Shop Cedar Park to learn more.

Cork2Glass
In The Railyard
601 E Whitestone Blvd Ste 618 in Cedar Park
We love the story behind this locally owned small business. What started as a fun home hobby, inside a bedroom closet grew over the years to fermenting grape juice, to corking and labeling their own “Happy Grapes” bottles for friends and family. Those early experiments were joyful acts of discovery that deepened their love for wine and its power to bring people together. Fast forward 25 years, countless tastings, rich experiences, and a few wine certifications later, that same passion led them to a bold new vision: to create a wine bar where music, community, culture, and conversation could flourish over a favorite vinyl soundtrack playing in the background over a shared glass. You will love the vibe of this bottle shop and wine bar. Pick up some fine wine for the wine lover in your life.
