Pickle fans — here's the place to feed your obsession.
The Best Maid Pickle Emporium opens Friday at 829 W. Vickery Blvd., inside a 2,800-square-foot space stocked with all things pickle, from Best Maid swag like mugs and T-shirts to pickle jewelry made from precious metals.
But, of course, the shop also carries pickles, including harder-to-find varieties like Spicy Bloody Mary. There's also dill brine and dill juice by the gallon.
The Emporium also serves as a mini-museum featuring artifacts from Best Maid's history, along with art by local muralist Jimmy Joe Jenkins.
While the space has a test kitchen, the Emporium will not be serving food at this time, due to COVID-19 restrictions. Best Maid is also working to get a license from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission so the Emporium can sell Martin House Brewing Company's Best Maid Pickle Beer (the shop does carry Best Maid Beer Pickles though).
Check out the slideshow above for a sneak peek inside.
