Opened in 1953 by the Prellop family (who still own the store), Crestview is the last of about a dozen Minimax stores under the Independent Grocers Alliance franchise umbrella that once dotted Austin. Don't see something you want? Ask the managers, there's a good chance they can order it for you. Does your teenager need a first job? What a great place to start off in the working world. Is Crestview Minimax IGA a throwback to the Fifties, or an integral part of the North Central Austin neighborhood and part of what makes Austin weird? Well, there's nothing weird about a great selection, decent prices, and friendly staff.
