A breakout Bravolebrity is bringing some drama to Cibolo. Allie Eklund, a standout member of the McBee Dynasty cast, has opened Triple E Mercantile, a new ranch-chic boutique at 813 Cibolo Valley Dr.

For those who don’t follow all things Andy Cohen, the show chronicles four brothers tasked with running their family’s Missouri cattle ranch. Eklund, a content creator and model out of Austin, has a memorable turn on the show as the then-girlfriend of eldest sibling Steven McBee Jr. Needless to say, things take a turn. We won’t go into that here; any true Bravo fan enjoys the forensic work.

Back in Cibolo, Eklund’s new store is inside an unexpected space: the new River City Ace Hardware owned by her and her family. Eklund is no stranger to the area. Her family owns a ranch near Fredericksburg, and she grew up in Central Texas.

“Opening a business in the Hill Country is incredibly special to me because it’s where I grew up and where so much of my family’s story is rooted,” Eklund shares. “I was raised in the Lake Travis area, and I’ve always loved the sense of community, entrepreneurship, and Texas pride that defines this region.”

The store-within-a-store carries Texana merch, entertainment essentials, and home accessories. Not all of it gives yeehaw vibes. Among the goods are stylish metallic handbags, rough-hewn vases, and cheery plates with an Italian lemon print. Triple E Mercantile is also a showcase for Eklund’s debut goat milk skincare collection, featuring small-batch lotions, body butters, and candles.

Eklund used the occasion of the June 12 grand opening to announce a new collaboration with Texas’ storied YO Ranch Headquarters. She says the partnership will involve everything from wildlife experiences to curated local products.

“Both brands are passionate about preserving the legacy of the Hill Country while creating experiences that help people reconnect with the land and with one another,” she explains.

Triple E Mercantile is now open daily inside the River City Ace Hardware. Hours are 7 am-7 pm, Monday through Friday; 8 am-7 pm Saturdays; and 10 am-6 pm Sundays. McBee Dynasty airs Mondays on Bravo and streams the following day on Peacock.
