King Feed, oldest retail store in Wimberley, burns

A patron of the Brookshire Brothers’ Tobacco Barn and gas station noticed the flames at its location on RR12 and called Wimberley Fire and Rescue. King Feed co-owner Bryan Toifl was on the scene by 5:45 a.m. and was joined shortly thereafter by the business’ other owner, Laurie Ward. Both are previous employees who took over ownership in 2019 from then owner Chris Nichols. 01/24/2024 12:00 AM
