Boerne Town Center's First Holiday Season: Lunch, Gifts and a Grocery Store Set for 2027

Boerne Town Center sits on I-10 at Christus Parkway. It has been under construction since 2022, according to MySA. For most of that time it was a site you drove past on the way to somewhere else. As of mid-November, the brands' own location pages and the Greater Boerne Chamber show half a dozen storefronts there open for business.

The open tenants are a coffee bar, two fast-casual lunch spots, a bundt cake bakery, a Pilates studio and a boot store. That makes Phase 1 a good place for a morning coffee, a lunch break or a gift stop. The weekly grocery run belongs to Phase 2, and the state's schedule for that phase reaches into 2027.

Six storefronts open

The developer, Abiso Real Estate, built Phase 1 as a cluster of addresses along the I-10 frontage. Here is the Phase 1 lineup that is up and running, with addresses and status from each business's official listing or local coverage.

Three addresses each have a Suite 103, so the street number matters when you set a pin. Club Pilates sits at 34674, the same building as Chipotle. Red Wing is at 34702. Nothing Bundt Cakes is at 34618.

Most of these are the brands' first Boerne locations. MySA's May coverage described the first wave as "several fast-casual chains making their Boerne debut." Chicken Salad Chick's company release announced a June 3 grand opening at 34702 IH-10 W. Its franchise group has also announced plans for Kyle, Schertz and Alamo Heights, MySA reported.

A Saturday in order of opening time

Phase 1 opened with tenants that fit a morning-to-midday trip, and posted hours make that easy to plan. A holiday Saturday could look like this:

1. 6:00 a.m. Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii opens. It held its grand opening on Saturday, Oct. 24, according to The Boerne Life.
2. 8:00 a.m. Club Pilates opens for weekend classes, which run until 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. When the studio announced its Boerne plans in April, it said it would hold classes seven days a week.
3. Late morning. Nothing Bundt Cakes takes online orders through its Boerne bakery page, so a holiday party order can be placed ahead and picked up in the same trip.
4. 10:45 a.m. Chipotle opens for lunch, and Chicken Salad Chick is two addresses down at 34702.
5. Gift stop. Red Wing at 34702 carries boots and work gear for anyone on the list who wants them.

Red Wing is already open. The Greater Boerne Chamber of Commerce has its official ribbon cutting on the calendar for Thursday, Nov. 19, the week after this post goes up.

The kitchens filling in around them

Two more restaurants extend the center's hours past the lunch rush.

Panda Express has a standalone building in the middle of Phase 1 at 34646 IH-10. Construction was underway there by April, and the restaurant announced an Oct. 2 grand opening. Its official location page lists hours of 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. daily, the latest close in the center.

McAlister's Deli has the longest build-out on the property. The chain filed a 2,795-square-foot interior finish-out with the state in January. By late October the signs were up, and window decals listed daily hours of 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., The Boerne Life reported. The restaurant's location page lists it at I-10 Frontage Road and Christus Parkway.

Other names are lined up behind those two. In February, The Boerne Life's tenant roundup listed Freddy's Frozen Custard, Playa Bowls, Matador Barbershop and a combined KFC and Taco Bell among the tenants coming to Boerne Town Center. In April it reported that Van Nails & Spa was the first tenant to install permanent signage, and that J&S Custom Framing had filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. A frame shop is the kind of tenant people visit before the holidays, so it is worth watching as the center fills in.

The grocery anchor runs on a 2027 clock

Phase 2 is where the center's role in daily routines shifts. On July 1, the City of Boerne announced that permits had been approved for a 68,348-square-foot retail phase. Its anchor is a 23,300-square-foot Sprouts Farmers Market, and the City estimated about a year of construction. MySA put the phase's value at $12.3 million and called Sprouts Boerne's first national health-focused grocery chain.

The state's filing for the Sprouts building projects completion on Feb. 1, 2027. That timeline has moved before. In April, The Boerne Life wrote that Sprouts had been expected to start construction earlier in the year and finish in early 2027, and that the Phase 2 pad showed no activity at the time. The City's one-year estimate, counted from a July start, points to summer 2027.

In the meantime, Phase 1 has about four years of construction and a debut season behind it. When Chicken Salad Chick's opening was announced, developer Andrew Bagnall told MySA that the restaurant was "just the beginning." The outlet reported that developers hope the project will make the corridor "a regional retail and dining hub." A grocery anchor would give the center a reason for weekly trips.

The rest of the corridor this fall

Some recent openings and projects nearby are outside the Town Center:

• Firehouse Subs, 1375 S. Main St. The chain moved into the former GameStop space, and by Oct. 24 it was hosting a school fundraiser, according to The Boerne Life.
• Honda of Boerne, 31905 I-10. The dealership had targeted Nov. 1. On Nov. 2, The Boerne Life still described construction and hiring ahead of its opening.
• Alamo City Liquor, 1014 N. Main St. The chain has been building out a storefront in the Live Oak Shopping Center.
