Torrans Manufacturing Company, LLC proudly announces the opening of its Outlet Store  (903-665-7055)! The Store is located at 118 E. Henderson in beautiful historic downtown Jefferson, Texas. 

The property has been in the Torrans family for many, many years and until July of 2008 it served as the company’s central warehouse and distribution point. Constructed in the 1920’s, the building has functioned in several roles. Its original purpose was as a blacksmith shop, twice dressed out as an automobile dealership later to become the school district’s bus barn, a welding shop and finally assuming the role of warehouse. After such a long and widely varied carrier, the grounds around the old building were left in very poor shape with nothing but oil stained red dirt and pea gravel as its landscape. The last tenants, John and Evelyn Maclean utilized the building to house antiques for their business, Good Pickin’s. Thankfully through twenty-five years of patient and loving care, they managed to transform what was an unsightly raw parking lot into a wonderfully lush garden. It is now a picturesque center piece of downtown boasting many distinctive trees and flora, some quite unique and rare.

John and Evelyn moved their business to New Braunfels, Texas midyear of 2008. Torrans Outlet Store will utilize several of the garden’s open spaces for outdoor seating so its patrons or anyone interested can relax and enjoy this splendid floral environment. Seating and dining arrangements are via Torrans Manufacturing 1950’s style metal lawn furniture.

The showroom space is decorated in 1950’s trim with numerous accents indicative of mid twentieth century flavor.  Seating is planned for about fifty-sixty using more Torrans Manufacturing period lawn furniture along with other classic diner style booths and stools.  Appetizing fare will consist of specialty deserts, fresh pop corn, soda pop chilled by ice in vintage dispensing machines along with very cold beer and wines. The entire property has been designated a smoke free environment.

Throughout the year the whole property is brightly decorated with seasonal holiday ornamentation to celebrate Mardi Gras, Halloween and of course an old fashioned Christmas theme!

The store, diner and garden can be rented for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings or meetings. 

Come by and fall back in time!
