The new, 125,000-square-foot store is open seven days per week and offers special features such as its Caf on the Run featuring made-to-order sandwiches and pizzas, a selection of Texas craft beers on tap and a Cooking Connection station with live cooking demonstrations. The store also offers full-service meat, seafood, deli and floral departments; a bakery; a pharmacy; and more. There is also a fueling and car wash station located in the store's parking lot.
