The #LoveLocalLoveAlvin campaign kicks off with a series of videos featuring some of Alvin’s most cherished local businesses. From family-owned restaurants to historical landmarks, each story highlights the passion and dedication of our local entrepreneurs. We shine a spotlight on the incredible businesses and stories that make Alvin, Texas, a unique community. This campaign is all about celebrating local pride, supporting our beloved establishments, and sharing the heartfelt stories of those who have dedicated their lives to making Alvin a special place.
Stanton’s Shopping Center is more than just a place to shop—it’s a cornerstone of our community with a rich history dating back to 1909. Learn how E.J. Stanton and his wife, Leah Ann, turned their dreams into reality, despite facing numerous challenges, including the devastating hurricane of 1915. Discover how their hard work and commitment transformed Stanton’s into the six-in-one shopping center that has served Alvin for over a century.
Meet Christina and Dorian Strickland, the dynamic duo behind Texas Sno Fruit, a Hawaiian Shaved Ice Food Truck. Driven by their daughter’s food dye allergy, they created a delightful treat that is both delicious and safe for those with similar allergies. Using only natural colors and flavors, Texas Sno Fruit offers a refreshing experience that everyone can enjoy.
Get a sneak peek into Juanita’s Taqueria, a local favorite for breakfast and lunch. This family-owned Mexican food restaurant is known for its warm atmosphere and mouthwatering dishes. Stay tuned for their inspiring video, where they share what makes Alvin the perfect home for their business.
In our second campaign video, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Jake Starkey and Dorian Strickland of 1820 Coffee House. They shared their love for Alvin and the community they’ve built through their coffee house. Their story is a testament to the welcoming and supportive environment that makes Alvin such a great place to live and work.
