Georgetown’s local economy is expanding rapidly as a variety of new businesses open their doors or announce upcoming locations. These additions span food, health, fitness, childcare and retail, offering residents more convenient choices and creating jobs for the area.
Ready‑to‑Eat Meals and Coaching
Project LeanNation celebrated its grand opening in late September after a soft opening earlier in the month. The Georgetown shop provides ready‑to‑heat meals, a protein‑shake bar and a membership program that includes personal coaching and prepared meals. The original July opening was delayed, but the store is now fully operational.
Play‑Based Childcare
Locally owned by Kassie Johnson, Little Sprouts Childcare offers a play‑based curriculum designed to prepare children for school. Programs serve infants as young as six weeks, toddlers, preschoolers and provide after‑school care for children through fifth grade. All meals are supplied on site.
Sweet Treats and Refreshments
Crave Cookies and Soda has opened a new location offering freshly baked cookies daily, with chocolate chip available every day and five rotating flavors each Friday. The menu also features loaded sodas and energy drinks, and customers can order for pickup or delivery.
Dental Care in Wolf Ranch
Trailside Dental Care now operates out of the Wolf Ranch shopping center. Drs. Shruta Lakhani and Mariz Faltas provide restorative, preventive, orthodontic, cosmetic and emergency dentistry services, according to the practice’s website.
Upcoming Fitness and Wellness Centers
Several fitness facilities are slated to open soon. Crunch Georgetown, an $11 million, 40,000‑square‑foot gym, will feature the new Crunch 3.0 design with personal training, a hot‑yoga studio, sauna, HydroMassage beds and red‑light therapy. Presale memberships are already available.
Skin Luxe Medical Aesthetics is relocating from Salado to Georgetown. Owned by Lauren Reagan, the practice will offer skin‑care treatments, injectable services and medically supervised weight‑loss programs once its downtown Georgetown location is completed.
Waxing the City plans to open a new Georgetown location next month, providing full‑body waxing, brow laminations, lash lifts, tinting and skin‑brightening services. Owner Anu Kandappan also runs locations in Cedar Park and Leander.
HT Fitness will add a 24/7 gym with kids‑care, free group classes, fit camps, cardio machines, free weights, strength‑training equipment and locker rooms. The chain already operates multiple sites throughout Texas.
Entertainment and Dining
The Junction, a 60,000‑square‑foot entertainment venue, is expected to open in November. Partner Matt Marshall says the space will include event areas, dining halls, bars, pickleball courts and a live‑music stage. Local vendors such as Sweet Lemon Kitchen and Dough‑Go Pizza will operate inside.
Beauty Services
TopNotch Nail Bar will hold a soft opening in early November, offering manicures, pedicures, gel finishes and hand‑painted nail art. A grand opening was originally planned for October but was delayed due to construction.
Future Additions
Little Caesars has filed plans for a new pizza location on Williams Drive. The $200,000 renovation of the Deer Haven Commercial building will begin in January and finish in June, adding delivery and take‑out options to the existing University Avenue store.
Better Health Counseling, a family‑owned mental‑health practice, is moving to a larger space on Westinghouse Road, expanding to about 45 providers and continuing to accept most insurance plans with a sliding‑fee scale.
Local Expansions
Monument Café has reopened its beer garden and added a market for grab‑and‑go meals. Crestview Baptist Church completed a 31,545‑square‑foot, two‑story worship‑center expansion in October, consolidating services into a single, larger space.
These openings and expansions reflect Georgetown’s growing appeal for families and entrepreneurs alike, reinforcing the city’s reputation as a vibrant, family‑friendly community.
