The Kyle Chamber is proud to feature FriDaze Liquor as this week's Member Monday! In December of 2011 the Atnipp family became new owners of the local FriDaze Liquor located in Plum Creek Square.

As one of the few liquor and cigar stores in the Kyle area FriDaze Liquor has sought to "increase their inventory and expand their cigar selection". With monthly events like beer tastings and helpful tips on how to pair up the best wine for any meal this family run store has sought to "Keep Kyle Kool!" FriDaze Liquor takes advantage of being members with the Kyle Area Chamber of Commerce through providing beverages for events like the Ambassadors BASH.
