The Terlingua Store Serving Terlingua since 1963

Terlingua Store is a local family owned and operated business, conveniently located near the Historical Terlingua Ghostown, on FM170.
We are host to the "Behind the Store", Original Frank Tolbert Chili Cook Off.
As an authentic Terlingua and Chihuahuan Border Trading Post, the Terlingua Store is a "must visit" for locals and visitors alike.

On the first Saturday in November each year about 5,000 "chiliheads" converge on Terlingua for the
International Championship Chili Cook-offs.
The first, started in 1967 as a contest both of wit and chili
between humorists Wick Fowler and H. Allen Smith,
has become a cherished Texas tradition.
The other contest held simultaneously at Rancho CASI
includes individuals and representatives from the
Chili Appreciation Society International.
