Great general store!! Best on Beale Street. Loved the selection. Next time, we'll make time to stop at the soda fountain.

I rode my bicycle down there the other night. A Schwab's at Beale Street is as popular as ever!
Recommended as Best Shopping Because: A. Schwab's is simply an institution, and is the kind of spot where you will find exactly what you need to complete a costume. Best for Christmas Shopping Because: This is stocking-stuffer headquarters for Santa's elves, especially for the kids - or child-like adults. Best for Elvis Shops Because: A. Schwab's has plenty of Elvis kitsch in its aisles - and saves you a trip to Graceland.
