Lames Pecan Pralines--Where do I buy them? (San Antonio, Austin: hotel, where to buy)

[Surfgly89]

Hello All,

I'm on the hunt for some Lammes pecan pralines for my dad for Father's Day. I cannot find them anywhere. The only place I've ever seen them is at the airport. $15.00 for 6? no thank you. Does anyone know where I can find them here in town? I've check all the hallmark stores around me (thats where dad used to buy them), HEB and some local candy shops. Any leads would be much appreciated.

Perhaps call the customer service # on their website and ask what stores carry their candy in SA. The Alon Market HEB has a special candy section. They may carry it even if other HEBs don't.

Forest1492 Great idea! I'll do that. Alon market doesn't have them. Thats my local HEB and I asked. They don't carry them.

You can order them online and they seem to have brick and mortar stores in Austin.

Quick update for anyone curious on Where to buy. I called Lammes and asked what stores sell their candies here in SA and there is only 4(besides the airport and hotel gift shops)

1.San Antonia Five & Dime (Downtown)
2. Rivercenter Drug Store (Downtown)
3. Oakdale Pharmacy (Medical Center area)
4. Allen's Flowers & Gifts (near SAC)

Thanks everyone for your help.

Kind of surprising that a company like Lammes that has three actual Lammes candy stores in Austin (and Many more retailers in the city) only has four retailers in San Antonio. Those pralines are the bomb.

Thanks for the tip. Oakdale is close to me so I may try some.

My dad always loved Lammes pralines, too... and yes it seems surprising that they were so hard to track down in San Antonio. Sometimes Central Market on Broadway would carry them, sometimes I'd find them at a gift shop or a local candy store. But almost never the same place from one year to the next. Thanks for the current list!
