Brown's Bottle Shop Information

Whether you're selecting a great wine to pair with dinner, some Champagne for a special event, or looking for a delicious beer for your weekend, Brown's has you covered. Browns has been in business for 50 years, owned and operated by Richard and Carlene Brown. When Oklahoma went wet in 1959, a small package store opened for business behind the Honk & Holler at the corner of Main and Miller Streets in the location that is now Companys Comin II. Several years later, the Browns acquired the store in the fall of 1966. By 1970, it was clear that 800 square feet of floor space was not going to cut it and the landlord was prevailed upon to enlarge the existing structure. As the industry continued to grow, and consumer interest in wine began to increase, the business once again outgrew its building and another enlargement took place in 1980, adding more retail area, a bigger stock room, and upstairs offices. By now the Honk & Holler was gone and the increased visibility from Main Street continued to spur the growth of the store. In 2000, the cash registers were retired in favor of computers, vastly improving the ability of the staff to monitor sales trends and offer timely specials to the public. It rapidly became clear that another expansion was in order. Unfortunately, city underground utilities and codes prevented further enlargement of the existing building, so plans were made to renovate the Grimsleys Supply building next door. In the fall of 2001, Browns moved to its current location, now boasting nearly 5000 square feet of floor space. One year later the Browns opened Companys Comin II in the former location in order to provide the finest in non-alcoholic entertainment foods and accessories.
