Tuff Shed Bastrop
Founder and CEO Tom Saurey opened the fifth Central Texas retail location for his customized storage building and garage business in mid-April. Located in a former 40-by-80-foot boat rental shop, the Tuff Shed team rebuilt the site, which holds a range of building displays both inside and out. Run by Samson Denny, Tuff Shed Bastrop constructs everything onsite and customizes each unit for customers.
Owner and licensed esthetician Ashley Moody began offering a variety of treatments using medical-grade products at her downtown facial spa in April. Options include self-care products for in-store purchase, along with treatments, such as chemical peels, facials and body treatments. Moody offers skin consultations to create customized treatments for each client.
Coffee Greeks
Formerly known as The Haven inside the R.A. Green Mercantile, the Greek coffee and pastry shop received a new name, expanded menu and location in late May. Owner Rebecca Syrpis said the new spot offers more seating, cold brews and other drinks; she also said she has plans to start incorporating more Greek food items on the menu.
Husband-and-wife team Ben and Faith Benitez opened their first brick-and-mortar storefront in February, eight years after starting the business. Artists by trade, the Benitezes foster their skills to create handcrafted bent-wood plant hangers, ceramic and wooden art pieces, and offer a variety of plants.
Relocations
Fur Babies Wholesome Pet Food
Deanna Sharp relocated her raw dog and cat food shop from R.A. Green Mercantile to Harmony Ridge, next to Neighbor's Kitchen, in late April. In addition to raw food options, Fur Babies Wholesome Pet Food also offers holistic pet care products like shampoos, flea and tick prevention, supplements and more.
Expansions
Silver Creek Collections
Rebecca Syrpis expanded her local boutique when she began occupying space inside Heritage Hall, next door to her original space at R.A. Green Mercantile, 1022 Main St. Syrpis said she will continue to sell her items at both locations. Silver Creek Collections offers clothing, jewelry, gifts and more.
Closings
Yoli’s Tacos & More Catering
Three years after the founder, Yolanda “Yoli” DeLeon, passed away from COVID-19, the popular taco truck shuttered in mid-April. Yoli’s Tacos & More Catering served authentic breakfast and lunch tacos on housemade flour tortillas.
Honey’s Pizza
Owner Steve “Stevo” Simmons closed the Smithville pizza spot in late March, citing the pandemic, labor issues and a divorce that led to his decision. Honey’s served wood-fired, Italian-style pizzas, and hosted community events like movie nights on the patio.
