The West Woods Shopping Center is set for the second Austin-area opening of fast casual eatery, Modern Market, at 3201 Bee Caves Road, Ste. 144, Austin, said Beth Hardy, chief storyteller at Modern Market. The Boulder, Colorado-based restaurant is expecting to open the Westlake-area site in early 2017 and aims for a February debut, she said.

"The demographic [of Westlake] is a good combination of residential and business," Hardy said. "It is a good fit for us."

The restaurant will feature fresh salads, toasted sandwiches, brick oven pizzas, homemade soups, tofu dishes and meat plates. The eatery offers foods for specialty diets, such as vegan, celiac, paleo, raw and low- or high-carbohydrate.

Modern Market opened a location in Austin's Arboretum area June 7.
