Green and White Grocery. . In 1936, Norverto and Susie Lopez opened Green and White Grocery at the corner of Waller And East 7th Streets. Their house was behind the store, and across Waller Street, they later opened the Green and White Courts Motel. Since the beginning, generations of the family have worked together to make the store a success. The general store expanded to include a meat market and produce. Green and White developed a reputation for exceptional tamales. The store became a staple of East Austin, when Norverto died, son-in-law John Cazares Sr, took over operations. When he retired in 1993, he passed the store to his son, who transitioned the store into a botanica. For decades, Green and White has served its neighborhood and community.
