Main Street in Jacksboro has a new addition tonight and It's attracting elvis fans from across the state.

Elvis Always Gifts and Collectibles held it's grand opening on Friday. Over the weekend the store was packed full of dedicated fans.

It's the largest Elvis gift store in Texas and possibly this side of Memphis. Fans are saying compared to Graceland, Elvis Always has everything and more. 

"It just has all kinds of stuff in here I've never seen this type of stuff," said 13 year old Elvis fan Jordan Newsome.

From magnets to picture frames, t-shirts to key chains, the store has items ranging anywhere from three dollars to three hundred.

"I think we've got a variety of stuff.  A little bit of something for everyone," said store owner Janetta Street.

Store owner Janetta Street says she's always enjoyed rock and roll, but it wasn't until she saw tribute artist RJ quick perform, did she realized just how much she loved elvis.

So Janetta and RJ are teaming up. He'll be performing weekly shows at the store and she gets to fulfill her dream.

"Owning my own business and being surrounded by things that I love," Street said.

They hope the Jacksboro location will attract people from Wichita Falls, the metroplex and everywhere in between.

it's not like I have to travel an hour or somewhere else for Elvis stuff I can just get it right here," said Tracy Norvill.

"It's amazing cause like I really like Elvis and I don't really have that much stuff but I want to come back here and get some stuff," said Katrina Sparks.
