The company confirmed the planned store to the Rio Grande Valley Business Journal, but declined to provide additional details. 

The new store is expected to open near TruFit Athletic Clubs, in the 900 block of South 10th Street in McAllen.

The store marks the company’s rapid expansion in a market it only recently entered.

“We opened our Brownsville location in January of 2025 and have proudly been serving the citizens of that lovely city and its surrounding communities since,” the company said in a statement to the Journal.
