Col. Bubbies - Galveston

A military surplus store like no other, Col. Bubbies has its own unique stories. 35 years ago, Meyer and Suzie Reiswerg went looking for a pair of blue jeans, similar to the ones that Meyer wore in the military; today they have a 3 story store and a warehouse full of military garb.

Servicemen and veterans, alike, search through the aisles for items that represent their own lives in the military. All the while, shipments of military accessories and uniforms are continually being sent to movie studies and theatres across the world.

Featured on David Letterman, Meyer represents the genius of an entrepreneur with a creative imagination. Listen in as Meyer tells Talk of the Bay about his “No shoes, No shirt, No service …” adventure.

Col. Bubbies is located on the Strand in Galveston. It’s a “must see to believe” kind of a place. Or visit www.ColBubbies.com .
