About
                    Born and raised in downtown Austin, Texas, Twin 
Liquors began as one small store and has emerged 
into a “home grown,” successful Austin company 
that has a unique and well-respected reputation 
throughout the United States for having impeccable 
team members, outstanding customer service, 
conveniently located stores, extensive selections 
of fine wines and premium spirits from around the 
world, and substantial community involvement. 
The roots of Twin Liquors began in a mercantile 
store in the late 1800s in the heart of Austin, 
Texas, which was then Congress Avenue and Pecan 
Street (the current Sixth Street). Shortly after 
the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, the Jabour 
family ventured into the liquor industry with 
“Jabour’s Package Store,” which contained a liquor 
store, a drug store and a soda fountain that were 
all under the same roof. During this era, 
operating a liquor store along with a soda 
fountain and a drugstore was the trend. 
Competition was fierce after Prohibition, and 
there were approximately 26 liquor stores within a 
two-mile area. The Jabour family worked hard and 
by the mid-1940s, had expanded the business to 
three liquor stores and a tavern that only sold 
beer. In September 1981, this generation of the 
Jabour family decided to retire after being in the 
liquor industry for approximately 40 years. 
In February of 1982, a new generation of Jabours 
began operating a small 700-square-foot liquor 
store at the corner of 7th and Red River in 
downtown Austin. This store was named “Twin 
Liquors” in honor of Theodore Jabour, who was one 
of the original twins of the Jabour’s Package 
Store. 
"We had great passion and foresight, and realized 
that an unmet market existed for providing the 
consumer with fine liquors and wines. We saw this 
as a challenge to expose and provide the consumer 
with a variety of fine liquors and wines despite 
the prevalent belief held by most retailers at the 
time that the consumer would never buy premium 
liquor and wine products," Margaret Jabour, Vice 
President. Although Twin Liquors began as one 
small store, the Jabours believed in relationships 
and serving the customer to the best of their 
abilities. This family philosophy ultimately 
fueled Twin Liquors’ great growth. From the 
inception of Twin Liquors, the Jabours' vision for 
the company has been to expand the business in 
order to serve its communities in every possible 
neighborhood with personnel that share the owners' 
passion and sentiment for the consumer and the 
industry. Twin Liquors began opening new locations 
in Austin as the city began to experience great 
growth in the 1990s. In April 2000, Twin Liquors 
acquired Dan’s Wine & Spirits, and in November 
2001, the company acquired Reuben’s Wine & 
Spirits. Both retailers dating back to Theodore 
Jabour's era could see the passion and excitement 
that Twin Liquors had, and they chose Twin Liquors 
to acquire their businesses. 
The growth and expansion continued with new store 
openings along with companies like KP in the Hill 
Country and Spirit Stores in San Marcos seeking 
out Twin Liquors to acquire their businesses as 
well. Now with a family of almost 60 stores, Twin 
Liquors spans the Austin Metro Area, ranging as 
far north as Harker Heights, west into the Hill 
Country, east into Bastrop and Lockhart and south 
into San Antonio! And, our most recent endeavor is 
the Twin Liquors Marketplace, a 15,000 sq. ft. 
store built out of a long-time desire to have a 
venue for education, tastings and community 
service while carrying over 7,000 different 
premium wines and spirits, from name brands to 
esoteric and allocated goodies. Twin Liquors 
passion for the wine and spirits industry, along 
with hard work and dedication, embraces our 
company mission of striving to serve and meet the 
needs of our customers. All our stores carry an 
impressive inventory of fine wines and spirits 
while still stocking the industry’s staples at 
competitive, low prices. Each of our stores has a 
special personality and excitement, and caters to 
its surrounding neighborhoods. The personalities 
of our stores are influenced by our high caliber 
team of members who consist of some of the 
industry’s most knowledgeable and savvy 
associates. We hire team members who share our 
vision, and their passion brings innovation and 
creativity to the stores. 
The owners take great pride in serving their 
customers and look forward to continued growth 
while serving and supporting their communities. 
With many years of service to the public, Twin 
Liquors is truly a “family owned and operated” 
business. The Jabour family has lived in Austin 
since the late 1800s, and is one of only a few 
families in the United States with industry roots 
dating back to Prohibition. Today, the Jabour 
family members are third-generation Austinites, 
and they are proudly raising the fourth generation 
of Austinites. "We believe that helping 
communities is an essential component of 
fulfilling the needs of our customers," David 
Jabour, President. With that philosophy, Twin 
Liquors supports over 500 charitable events 
annually. Passion was, and always will be, the 
driving force of Twin Liquors. "Our love and 
passion for the wine and spirits industry are the 
seeds of our growth, and they will always be the 
foundation of our endeavors," Margaret Jabour.
