A locally-owned refillery business—called River City Refillery—opened on July 19 at 2165 Gabriels Place, Ste. 1101 in New Braunfels.

Owner Kelley Pacillas said this type of business was needed in the area.

“The response from the community has been better than we could have ever expected,” Pacillas told Community Impact.

What they offer

Pacillas said the products they offer are all naturally-derived and free of harmful toxins and chemicals that may be damaging. The shop sells home and personal care products such as cream deodorants, non-toxic dishwasher tablets and surface cleaners.


Customers can bring their own containers to refill any home goods products sold in bulk at the store, from shampoos to dish soaps.

Prices are determined by the weight of refilled products, Pacillas said.
