The COVID-19 virus has been devastating to much of our economy. In just a few short months, many businesses have been required to make drastic changes in how they do business. Some, unfortunately, have even found it necessary to close their doors for good. But the challenging situation has also created new opportunities for businesses to get creative and discover innovative ways to remain open while making sure all safety protocols are followed for customers and for employees. A perfect example of this is Texas Hill Country Olive Co., a popular location in the Dripping Springs area. Although the Gambini family, which has owned the business since 2008, made the difficult decision to close the restaurant on a temporary basis and modified some other elements of their operations, customers are still very much welcome to visit the Texas olive oil store and tour the beautiful grounds.

This way, the favorite family-owned location can continue to bring in olive fans as well as provide an opportunity for satisfied customers of Texas Hill Country Olive Co. to pick up the company’s signature olive oils, plus other quality olive and balsamic products and gifts.
