Established in 2013.
Paws & Claws Thrift Store is the brain-child of local entrepreneur, Monte Martinez, who also owned and operated the incredibly successful Apple Records for 22 years in San Antonio. Monte is ready to take SA by storm once again with his new thrift store that will donate a portion of its profits every quarter to local animal-friendly nonprofit organizations.

Meet the Business Owner
Monte M.
Business Owner
Born and raised in San Antonio, Monte, like many citizens, has always recognized the need for creative and innovative local businesses. So instead of moving away to a city where there is already plenty of things to do and places to go, Monte has always viewed remaining local a great challenge and opportunity.
In 1976, Monte opened up one of the first record exchange stores in the country, Apple Records. For 22 years this successful vinyl destination bought, sold, and traded for its inventory and in the process became a cult favorite in the culture of our city.
San Antonio is one of three top tourist sites in the country. In 2005, Monte began a new venture with his business,‘HistoryTellers’, presenting the History of Texas to tourists, schools & conventions as well as History presentations of Family or Companies through Storytelling!
In 2013, Monte opened the doors to Paws & Claws Thrift Store, which promises to be just as groundbreaking and successful as his history to date.
