Integral to The Scout Guide mission is telling the stories behind the small businesses Scouted in each Volume. The story begins in print and continues online, after all. As you peruse Volume 1 , we are thrilled to continue our story telling mission with a fun little feature called “Friday FIVE”.

We’re starting 2024 with one of Grapevine’s most beloved businesses – Maykus Homes and Neighborhoods! Family owned and operated since the 1950’s, Maykus builds homes and residential lots with convictions deeply rooted In quality, value, and local expertise. Check out what Sierra Maykus, Realtor for Maykus Homes, loves about her local community – Grapevine!

What unique aspects of your community make it special to you? Grapevine has the cool factor… It’s a small town, but a big town with lots to do.  There are not many places that have a Main Street like ours, a big international airport five minutes away, and the best part; the down to earth people in this community. It truly has a sense of feeling like home.

What are your favorite restaurants / activities for a date night? Walking down Main Street and doing some people watching is always fun and also grabbing a drink at Harvest Hall or Landon Winery.

Are there any local traditions or events that you look forward to every year? GrapeFest and Main Street Fest. Both are events that make us so proud to be a part of Grapevine. 

You have 5 mins to go pick up a gift for someone, where are you shopping? Market on Main has many options for a gift so you can’t go wrong there, they seem to have anything and everything.

If you could only pick one local restaurant as your favorite, what would it be? Big Fish would be the spot! The service is great and food is even better!
