From a place to improve your badminton game to stops for your coffee fix, Leander has a host of new businesses to check out.

Now open

Austin Badminton Academy

The sports facility allows badminton players of all skill levels to train, compete and learn from professional instructors. The Academy also has a location in Round Rock. Austin Badminton Academy offers membership programs for both kids and adults, with a variety of training and playing options.

PetVet365

Pet owners can bring their animals for a variety of care, including surgical and dental treatment as well as behavioral, preventative and urgent care. The clinic has a fear-free certified staff, meaning vets and technicians learn about a pet’s likes and emotional history prior to their appointment to create a calming experience, according to the clinic's website.

RayEye Vision Care



Under the care of Dr. Ranjit Kaur, the business offers a range of optometry services from comprehensive eye exams and dry eye treatment to common eye disorders and eye emergencies.

Seven Oaks Coffee

Customers can find an assortment of menu items including lattes, baked goods and chai drinks. The company sells its coffee beans both in-store and online with dark roasts, light roasts and decaf roasts. Additionally, the indoor sit-down space features a small children’s play area.

Tree Scouts Tree Service

The business offers free consultations, tree trimming, tree removal, stub grinding, fertilization and general arborist services. Service areas include Leander, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Cedar Park, Dripping Springs, Georgetown, Round Rock and Steiner Ranch.

Whataburger

The location was originally slated to open in the fall but was delayed until Jan. 21. The business is located in Bar W Marketplace and is the second location in Leander for the food chain. Customers can find a range of items on the menu including burgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders and shakes.

Frontier Direct Care


The primary care clinic opened to Leander ISD staff members, allowing employees to access same- or next-day appointments. While the company's clinics are typically open to the public, the new Leander location exclusively serves over 6,000 LISD employees and their dependents.

Little Forest Equestrian

The business offers weekly horseback riding lessons, horsemanship classes focused on communicating with and leading horses, and trail rides for individuals or groups of up to three people. The business also hosts birthday parties, events and workshops, as well as camps for children during spring break and the summer. Owner Jenna Couchman started Little Forest Equestrian after working as a ranch hand in the Leander area for about eight years.

Coming soon

Black Rock Coffee Bar

The coffee business has locations in California, Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, Idaho and Texas. Customers will enjoy a menu full of classic coffee drinks and specialty items including Irish Coffee, Mexican Mocha and Caramel Truffle.

Conejos Tex-Mex Cantina



From the team behind Lucky Rabbit and The Rabbit Hole, Conejo Tex-Mex Cantina is slated to open in Leander in March in Anh Thinh’s former location. Customers can expect an elevated Tex-Mex experience with items such as fajitas, quesadillas, mezcal cocktails and margaritas.
