A weekend of celebration turned into a final farewell for a fine goods shop that has been growing its presence in Central Texas over the last decade. After shuttering its flagship store last fall, another outpost has closed for good as of Easter Sunday.
Dos Olivos Market, the creation of father-daughter duo Rafael and Rebecca Varela, shared in a Facebook post that its Dripping Springs location permanently closed on Sunday, April 5, after four years in the Austin-area city.
“This was not an easy decision,” Dos Olivos writes. “Dripping Springs has been a meaningful part of our journey, and we are incredibly grateful for every guest, team member, and moment that helped shape this location into what it was.”
Dripping Springs was the fourth market the Varelas opened after launching the brand in 2018 with its flagship location in Wimberley. Dos Olivos expanded in the Austin area in May 2022, offering artisanal goods from Texas and Spain, a retail shop, butchery, lunch and dinner spaces, and international wine and beer selections to pair with gourmet dishes.
Dos Olivos closed its Wimberley outpost in October 2025, and now Dripping Springs has followed suit.
“As we continue to grow, we’ve come to recognize that growth must be intentional,” Dos Olivos wrote. “Expanding too quickly can take us away from what matters most: listening to our guests, refining our experience, and staying true to the heart of our brand. This next chapter is about doing just that.”
The company added that its focus and energy are now going into Dos Olivos’ stores in Buda and Harlingen, which it describes as “growing rapidly and presenting exciting opportunities.”
MySA has reached out to Dos Olivos for comment on the Dripping Springs closure, but the market ended the Facebook message on a hopeful note.
“Thank you for being part of our story. This is not the end of a chapter…it’s the beginning of a stronger, more intentional one!”
