A new Tesla service and sales center may be coming soon to 19820 Hempstead Road, Houston. This site formerly housed a Gander Mountain store, which closed in 2017 after the company filed for bankruptcy.

The electric vehicle company is based in the Austin area. Tesla representatives did not respond to a request for comment, but filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation report the $1.3 million service center renovation is slated to wrap up in mid-March.

According to the TDLR, the 87,245-square-foot service center would be used for Tesla sales and vehicle service. Chipman Design Architecture, a firm that has designed several Tesla facilities, is listed as the design firm for the former Gander Mountain site. www.tesla.com
