Utah-born drive-thru beverage chain Swig is doubling down on New Braunfels, lining up a second location at the Solms Landing development and adding yet another stop along the fast-filling Creekside retail corridor near I-35. The brand’s build-your-own "dirty sodas" and snack menu are slated to join a growing cluster of quick-service spots and pad sites that keep drawing shoppers to one of the city’s busiest retail stretches.
Deal Reported By Local Business Press
According to the San Antonio Business Journal, Swig has signed on for a spot at Solms Landing in New Braunfels. The outlet reports that the Utah-based chain already runs six locations in and around San Antonio, and that the Solms Landing site will become Swig's second outpost in the city.
What Swig Serves
Swig is best known for its customizable "dirty sodas" - fountain drinks dressed up with flavored syrups, fruit purees and cream - alongside pretzel bites, cookies and other sweets, per Swig. The company pitches itself primarily as a drive-thru drink destination and keeps a store locator online, flagging future openings with a "Coming Soon" tag.
Where The First New Braunfels Location Sits
Swig already has a footprint in town at 1280 S Interstate 35 Frontage Road in the Walnut Square development, a project first surfaced in 2023 permit filings and local coverage. That site made New Braunfels part of the chain's I-35 push and left room for more growth. The Solms Landing shop will be Swig's second location in the city, according to MySA.
Solms Landing And The Creekside Buildout
Solms Landing is one piece of the broader Creekside retail expansion, which lists multiple pad sites and retail parcels available in commercial marketing materials, a setup that helps explain why national and regional chains keep circling the area, per CommercialSearch. The tract sits near established draws like H-E-B and Topgolf and has been pitched to retailers as fertile ground for quick-service concepts. Developers and brokers point to steady shopper traffic as a key reason drive-thru tenants are homing in on the site.
What To Expect On Opening Day
So far, reports have not pinned down an official opening date for the Solms Landing Swig. Recent Central Texas debuts for the brand have brought big turnouts, with long lines and some parking headaches at new stores. Coverage of nearby launches, including a crowd that packed Austin's first Swig location, suggests property managers and franchise operators often roll out traffic controls and extra staffing for grand openings, as described in dirty soda frenzy.
For those tracking the timeline, future permitting records and leasing updates will be the next clues on when doors will open. For now, Swig's Solms Landing move is one more sign that the Creekside corridor is not slowing down.
