Pinkie's ~ Odessa, Texas circa 1930's

Tom "Pinkie" Roden established Pinkie's back in 1934, less than
one year after the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was ratified
(by an extraordinary 73%), ending 14 years of prohibition.

Carrying on the work that Pinkie started back in 1934, we have
grown into a chain of fifteen wine and spirits retail stores with
locations throughout West Texas.  Employing more than 180 people
in our stores in Abilene, Amarillo, Lubbock, Midland, and Odessa, our
goal is to offer our customers quality name brands, reasonable prices
and unparalleled customer service.

We welcome your comments and any questions you might have concerning
distilled spirits, wines or malt beverages.  You may contact us via e-mail
or at the address/phone numbers below.

Bad year for outlaws:   That same year, notorious outlaws John Dillinger,  "Pretty Boy" Floyd and Lester J. Gillis (AKA "Baby Face Nelson") are all gunned down....not a good year for outlaws!
