Jack and Charlotte Whisenhunt proved themselves forward thinking entrepreneurs who were early visionaries of the property on the Northeast San Antonio route known as Austin Highway. They ventured into entrepreneurship in 1966, a few years before Hemisphere World s Fair. In a small vacated homestead, they set up the first of what would be several locations for the Charlott s legacy. Over the years, Jack and Charlotte grew the business of Charlott s Antiques into the building of the K-T Tavern, built Charlott s Clock Shop on the adjoining vacant lot, and lastly built the current 7,000 sq ft building at 2023 Austin Highway. Much of their success can be credited to their tremendous work ethic, their instinctive gift for acquiring sellable merchandise, and ability to adapt to changing markets.
