AutoZone plans to temporarily relocate its store at 5329 N. I-35, Austin, to 1636 E. 51st St., in the Mueller Station retail center across from the Mueller Market District, though plans are not yet finalized, said AutoZone preconstruction architect Marda Lugar.
What's happening
The I-35 store is expected to be displaced as the Texas Department of Transportation acquires the property for the I-35 Capital Express Central project, according to Lugar. If plans move forward, the 51st Street location would serve as a temporary home while the company searches for a larger permanent space, potentially farther down Berkman Drive, she said.
The temporary store could open as early as late October, Lugar said, and renovation of the existing 9,600-square-foot building is slated to run from early September through early December, according to a state filing.
