Co-owner Chris Fowler demonstrates a tumble routine at his new business, TumblePro Austin, that he opened with Geno Escobedo.[/caption]
A men’s lifestyle shop that also serves coffee and whiskey opened April 2 in the Rock Rose district of The Domain.
Weathered Coalition, located at 11601 Rock Rose Ave., Ste. 114, Austin, is one of the latest new businesses to open in the locally focused district of The Domain.
Co-owners Tyler Guinn and Ben Woods left their desk jobs to fulfill a dream of owning a store that carried responsibly sourced goods, Guinn said. Their business sells items made in the U.S. for men. Apparel, leather goods and luggage are available.
Weathered Coalition also features a work lounge and a 6-foot bar serving cold-brew coffee and Texas whiskey such as Balcones Distilling.
“We want our space to be a hybrid space and less sales driven,” Guinn said.
