After a few years on his ranch at Turtle Creek, a tributary of the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, Schreiner moved to the county seat of Kerrville. There in 1869, her joined August Faltin of nearby Comfort in Kendall County, to open another store. Known as Schreiner's, it was the forerunner to the longstanding Schreiner's Department Store in Kerrville. A decade later, Schreiner bought out his partner and expanded his operations to include [[wool]] and mohair. His business was among the first in the United States to engage in the mohair trade, which was centered about Kerrville. For a number of years, Schreiner operated a bank within his store, which became one of the largest country stores of its kind in the nation. Schreiner's Bank became so successful that it was moved in 1893 into a separate building.<ref name=tshaonline/>​

In 1879, Schreiner commissioned the San Antonio architect  Alfred Giles (1853-1920) to design the Capt. Charles Schreiner Mansion in Kerrville. The original two-story, six-bedroom house was the first [[limestone]] building constructed in Kerr County. In 1895, a porch was added to the structure. After his death, Schreiner's heirs donated the mansion, which was listed in 1975 on the National Register of Historic Places, to the Masonic lodge. The Masons sold the building; it is now a [[museum]].<ref>"THC-NRHP Schreiner Mansion, Texas Historical Commision, accessed August 17, 2011; material no longer on-line.</ref>​
