There are some small “mom and pop” stores in Leakey that are well stocked but you will probably want to pick up the majority of your groceries before you arrive. The last major grocery store you will pass on your way here is in Hondo. There will be an HEB on the Eastbound side of the Hwy 90; it’s about 45 minutes from your cabin.
