Gun Barrel City Business Directory

Gun Barrel City is the retail and commercial hub for the entire Cedar Creek Lake area, so it's where the lake goes to shop, eat, and run errands. This directory organizes the town's major businesses by category to help you find what you need. It's a growing list — we start with established, verified anchors and add more over time.

Most of the businesses below sit along West Main Street (State Highway 334), the main commercial strip through town, with others on State Highway 198 — the original "Gun Barrel Lane." Hours and details change, so confirm directly with a business before a special trip. For the city's own list, see the official Places to Shop directory, and for context on the area, start with our overview of Gun Barrel City and the local guide.

Why does a town of about 6,190 people support this much retail? Because it serves the whole lake. Residents of Mabank, Seven Points, Payne Springs, Tool, and the surrounding waterfront communities do their everyday shopping here, and every summer the population around Cedar Creek Lake swells past 10,000 from Memorial Day through Labor Day. That concentration of stores and services is a big part of what makes the area work for visitors, families, and retirees alike.
