No, not really. But, as we’ve already reported, a slew of Austin-based businesses have invaded our neighborhood. (Not that we’re complaining about being a short drive from Tacodeli or Hat Creek Burger.)
Even TreeHouse, an Austin-based home improvement store, is closing its original store in favor of the metroplex.
“After two successful openings in Dallas and Plano, TreeHouse has made the difficult decision to close our Austin location,” the company said in a statement published on its website. “The Austin store has been invaluable for operational learnings, but is not in an ideal location for long term success. However, we love Austin, and will be exploring other Austin locations that fit our growth strategy. Our Austin team will complete all active installation projects and continue retail sales for the next 90 days. Related to this closure, we will be moving the TreeHouse home office closer to our current center of operations, in the Dallas area. We want to thank our Austin family and community for their continued support of our mission over the years – helping make all homes beautiful, healthy, and sustainable.”
The company opened its Dallas store in 2017 as part of The Hill shopping center’s renovations. TreeHouse hasn’t announced whether its home office will be located in the neighborhood or elsewhere in DFW.
