LEGACY BUSINESS PROGRAM <br />The Economic Development Department in collaboration with the Planning and Development <br />Services Department and San Marcos Main Street Program champions Legacy Businesses and <br />maintains a Legacy Business Program Registry. The program launched in 2024 with the goal of <br />ensuring that Legacy Businesses can expand their customer base, access potential business <br />incentives, keep community members employed, and increase visibility of their architectural, <br />historical, and cultural significance. <br />To qualify as a Legacy Business, businesses must be locally owned in operation for at least 20 years <br />and serve as historical or cultural assets to the community. Businesses less than 20 years old may be <br />considered on a case -by -case basis with at least two letters of support from the community. <br />Benefits of Legacy Business designation include a marketing tool kit with information on how to <br />make the most of this status, priority admission into the City's Small Business Counseling Program, <br />assistance with Texas Treasures Business Award applications —a state program that recognizes <br />businesses 50 years or older —for eligible businesses, and those located in the Main Street District <br />receive architectural guidance. <br />The program has no state or national partners and is administered wholly by the City. As of October <br />2025, the businesses listed in the table below have been designated as Legacy Businesses. <br />A LEGACY BUSINESS IN SAN MARCOS IS A LOCALLY OWNED ESTABLISHMENT <br />THAT HAS BEEN OPEN FOR AT LEAST 20 YEARS AND SERVES AS A HISTORICAL OR <br />CULTURAL ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY. <br />1 <br />Wonder World Cave & Adventure Park <br />1893 <br />2024 <br />2 <br />Royal Cleaners <br />1958 <br />2024 <br />3 <br />Sunset Bowling Lanes <br />1959 <br />2025 <br />4 <br />McCoy's Building Supply <br />1972 <br />2025 <br />5 <br />City Bakery <br />1989 <br />2025 <br />6 <br />San Marcos Vet Clinic <br />1990 <br />2025 <br />7 <br />The Taproom <br />1994 <br />2024 <br />8 <br />Green Guy Recycling <br />1995 <br />2025 <br />9 <br />Rogelio's Restaurant <br />1998 <br />2024 <br />10 <br />Mochas & Javas <br />2003 <br />2025 <br />11 <br />Smoothie Warriors <br />2004 <br />2024 <br />12 <br />Bobcat Movers <br />2005 <br />2025 <br />110 SAN MARCOS HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN (2026) <br />
