Columbus-born Mediterranean chain Brassica is moving deeper into the Houston orbit, lining up a second Greater Houston location in Sugar Land, according to state registration documents. Construction is scheduled to kick off in mid June and wrap by early November, transforming nearly 50,000 square feet into indoor dining, an outdoor patio and a full commercial kitchen. Once the lights flip on, Sugar Land diners along the Southwest Freeway retail corridor can expect Brassica’s build-your-own pitas, salads and hummus plates with proteins like brisket, chicken and falafel.
What the state filing shows
A project listing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation pegs the job as “Lake Pointe Village #L300 — Brassica Fit Out,” with a June 15, 2026 start date and a November 2, 2026 completion date, plus an estimated $950,000 in renovation costs. The registration notes a 49,976-square-foot scope and details work on exterior RTUs, signage and a patio, along with an interior dining room and full commercial kitchen.
Menu and what to expect
Brassica, which opened its first shop in Columbus, Ohio, in 2015, builds its menu around customizable pitas, salads and hummus plates and puts the spotlight on organic whole-wheat pita and house-made sauces, according to the Brassica website. Local coverage reports that the Sugar Land restaurant will feature both indoor seating and an outdoor patio, setting it up to handle dine-in guests and to-go traffic, as reported by Community Impact.
Where this fits in Brassica’s Houston push
Brassica quietly entered the Texas market earlier this spring with a first Houston-area shop in the Memorial neighborhood, following what was described as a quiet Memorial debut. The brand also received a minority investment from Chipotle’s Cultivate Next venture fund in October 2024, and company and industry coverage say that backing is helping the chain expand into new markets, per a Chipotle press release.
The Sugar Land build-out is listed as a privately funded tenant fit-out, so for now the paperwork stops short of naming an official opening day. More operational details, including a formal grand opening date, are likely to surface once construction crews get moving later this year. We will keep local readers posted as the Sugar Land location moves toward the finish line.
