"One of these days, I'm gonna have the largest liquor store in Memphis!" Rommy said those words when Buster's was just a two man operation with his dad, Buster. And he wasn't kidding. Seeing a trend in the late 1960's with the city's growth to the suburbs, Rommy and Buster closed their respective shops downtown and ventured "way out" east to our present day location at Poplar and Highland. Selling mostly liquor, Rommy saw an un-met demand for wine and he welcomed to carry any label his suppliers would bring him. This is why Rommy values our trademark slogan, "If we don't have it, you don't need it!" Rommy not only built the largest wine shop in Memphis, but in Tennessee as well. Today, Buster’s is even larger than he ever expected and has become a destination for wine and spirit enthusiasts throughout the Mid-South. Today, Rommy has happily passed the torch to his three children, Morgan, Joshua and Anastasia so he may enjoy a much deserved round of golf in fair weather.
