A newly-opened juice and smoothie shop in the Plaza in the Park shopping center near West University Place became a safe space for guests to recharge not only their devices, but their taste buds after Hurricane Beryl brought high winds, rainfall, flooding and widespread damage to the Greater Houston region on July 8.
Store owner Fernando Vizcaino said in an email that guests visited the store until almost 11 p.m. in order to connect to the internet while accessing air conditioning. The shop opened to guests on July 5.
"The storm didn't impact our business," said Vizcaino, who runs the shop with his wife Lorena.
