IntheKnowHouston Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 A non-descript strip center is located at 1609-1625 Westheimer. I don't know the name of this shopping center and couldn't find any thing with additional details. Does anyone happen to know if this center bears a name?

IntheKnowHouston Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) A coffee shop is taking over the 1609 Westheimer unit that was last occupied by UB Preserv (and Poscol before that). Wild is leasing the corner unit. It's the sister concept to Grinder's near Rice Village. According to What Now Houston (a digital publication that's similar to Vox Media's Curbed and Eater, though focuses more on new dining concepts than anything), Wild is anticipating a late summer arrival. Wild opened its first location in the Heights earlier this year. In addition to coffee, it also doubles as a cocktail bar with CBD cocktails and a marijuana dispensary. https://whatnowhou.com/wild-coffee-bar-and-dispensary-to-open-third-location-in-houston Edited May 12, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 An update on Wild reported yesterday by Community Impact: "The Montrose location of Wild will open in late September at 1609 Westheimer Road, Houston, following an announcement first made in June. The venue will be similar to a location that opened in the Heights in February with coffee, cocktail and dispensary elements. The Montrose location will also include a dining experience under Executive Chef German Mosquera. Menu items will take guests to locations around the world and can be infused with hemp-derived CBD or THC.: https://communityimpact.com/houston/heights-river-oaks-montrose/business/2022/09/12/brewery-steakhouse-7-deadly-sins-themed-restaurant-5-businesses-opening-this-fall-in-the-heights-river-oaks-and-montrose-areas/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntheKnowHouston Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 More about Wild, which opened yesterday at 1609 Westheimer. This is from Eater Houston last week: "On Monday, September 19, the hemp connoisseurs will open the second location of its coffee shop, dispensary, and cocktail bar, Wild, at 1609 Westheimer Road in Montrose — and this time, they’re venturing into what might be Houston’s first legal cannabis-infused fine dining experience." "Decor will also be reminiscent of Wild Heights. The owners have morphed what was once Underbelly Hospitality’s UB Preserv, morphing it into a jungle-like paradise and Bali-inspired lounge, outfitted with greenery and nods to its coastal theme throughout the space." https://houston.eater.com/2022/9/15/23355156/houston-wild-montrose-cocktail-coffee-restaurant-dispensary-hemp-thc-cbd-cannabis-openings 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
