Madstyle Vintage, a beloved downtown San Angelo vintage store, is embarking on an exciting new chapter as it prepares to relocate just two doors down from its current address of 119 S. Chadbourne St. to 129 S. Chadbourne St. The owner of Madstyle Vintage, who has long cherished the building’s charm, expressed immense excitement over the move, stating, "I’ve been holding that in for a while & it feels so good to tell y’all!" This vibrant store, showcasing a unique collection of vintage items, holds a significant place in the hearts of locals, so this move is more than just a change of address—it’s a heartfelt homecoming.
Upon relocating, the owner plans to bring a fresh energy to the new space, sharing, "When I moved to San Angelo 22 years ago, I fell in love with this building at the corner of Twohig & S. Chadbourne." Reflecting on their journey, they recalled, "I worked for her when I was in high school to pay off things I wanted to buy from her. She became a mentor & a friend." This poignant connection underscores the deep roots the store has in the community, and the nostalgia associated with the location makes the upcoming transition emotional.
Though the building was originally sold to another owner, the opportunity arose once again, allowing the current Madstyle Vintage owner to finally secure the space. They reminisce about the heartbreak of losing out the first time, revealing, "I was heartbroken. However, the opportunity later arose again, and I was able to secure the space. NOW IT IS MINE!" This triumphant acquisition adds another layer to the store’s story, a testament to perseverance and passion.
While they prepare for the big move, specific details about the exact opening date at the new location remain pending. However, the current Madstyle Vintage location will continue to operate for now, with exciting sales planned in the lead-up to the move. The owner enthused, "We will be having some great sales going on at the current location you will not want to miss," inviting all eager patrons to make the most of the remaining time at 119 S. Chadbourne.
Madstyle Vintage is on the brink of celebrating its 12th anniversary, a milestone that underscores its endurance and beloved status in the San Angelo community. The owner expressed heartfelt gratitude for the support, stating, "THANK YOU to all of our amazing customers & friends. You are the reason I’ve been able to turn this passion for vintage quality & design into a career." This sentiment resonates deeply with many regular customers, who have seen not just a store but a space for community, creativity, and connection evolve over the years.
The store's upcoming relocation remains a hot topic across local news, with various media outlets highlighting the excitement surrounding the move. The LIVE! Daily News program mentioned the relocation recently, alongside it covering other regional updates, including an energy project approved by the San Angelo City Council, and a new opening for Murdoch's Ranch and Home Supply.

It remains a central pillar of the downtown area, representing not just commerce, but a way of life cherished by many. The imminent arrival at 129 S.
