More than five years after Half Price Books closed its Montrose neighborhood store in Houston, Tex., the company has acquired a building with plans to open a new store at 3509 Montrose Blvd., the Houston Business Journal reported. The 13,000-square-foot building is a few blocks away from the closed store.
"We closed our previous Montrose location back in 2021 when the landlord made the decision to redevelop the area," a company spokesperson said. "We've heard from countless customers in recent years how much they loved that store and miss having a store in the loop, so we are excited to finally return to the area. We don't have any firm dates regarding the opening of this location right now, but plan to open sometime in 2027."
In Houston, Half Price Books currently operates stores at 10915 Westheimer in Westchase and at 15754 FM 529 near Highway 6, as well as six stores scattered in the city's suburbs.
