Whether you’re picking up drinks for a weekend on Lavaca Bay or stocking up on your way through the Brazos Valley, Zipps Liquor has six stores serving the Texas Gulf Coast region with the same promise as every Zipps: real selection, at prices 10% to 30% below the competition.
This region stretches further inland than most people picture when they hear “Gulf Coast”: from the bay-front community of Port Lavaca, through the regional hub of Victoria, up into the Brazos Valley towns of Wharton, Bellville, Hempstead, and Navasota. It’s a mix of coastal and inland communities that don’t always get the same retail attention as Houston or Corpus Christi, which is exactly the gap Zipps built this cluster to fill.

From the Bay to the Brazos Valley
Port Lavaca sits right on Lavaca Bay, making it a natural stop for anyone headed out for a day of fishing or coastal recreation. Victoria, further inland, serves as the regional hub for the surrounding Coastal Bend communities. From there, our footprint turns north into the Brazos Valley: Wharton along the Colorado River, Bellville and Hempstead along the US-290 corridor between Houston and Austin, and Navasota near the Brazos River itself. Together, these six stores cover a stretch of Texas that’s equal parts coastal and rural inland, and underserved by the major retail chains in both directions.
Why the Gulf Coast Region Chooses Zipps
From coastal Port Lavaca to the inland Brazos Valley towns of Hempstead, Bellville, and Navasota, Zipps brings big-store selection to communities the major chains often overlook, without the drive to Houston or Victoria’s bigger retailers. Every store carries a full range of beer, wine, and spirits at prices consistently below what you’d pay elsewhere in the region.
🍺 Beer
Cold domestics and regional favorites, stocked for everything from a coastal fishing trip to a Friday night at home.
🍷 Wine
A wine selection covering everyday bottles and Texas-made labels, whether you’re pairing with Gulf seafood or just unwinding after a long day.
🥃 Spirits
Bourbon, tequila, vodka, rum, and gin: our Gulf Coast stores carry the full range, plus harder-to-find allocated bottles.
🍹 Mixers
Everything you need to round out a cooler or a home bar, from classic mixers to the basics for a proper coastal cocktail.
A Region Worth Investing In
Communities like Bellville, Hempstead, and Navasota often get treated as pass-through towns on the way to somewhere bigger. Zipps sees them differently: as real communities that deserve the same selection and pricing as shoppers in Houston or Victoria. That’s the same philosophy that built our East Texas footprint, applied to the Gulf Coast and Brazos Valley.
