Lone Star Market Opens, Bringing Fast Fresh Food to Dripping
Springs
Lone Star Market, located at 13542 US-290 near Sawyer Ranch Road, officially opened its fourth location with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, October 27th, and grand opening events for customers throughout the weekend.
The Houston-based company, which has operated the location
as a Shell gas station and convenience store for many years, had a Burger King
franchise in the location up until March of this year. When they had the
opportunity to expand their Lone Star Market and Lone Star Cafe to the
location, the decision was easy.
"The Dripping Springs community wanted better, fresher
made-to-order offerings than what we had before," said company CEO Hasan
Zakaria. "We knew that our Lone Star Market concept of fresh, proprietary
recipes and healthy, quick options for meals would be perfect for the
area."
Lone Star Market, which is owned and operated by Sugarland
Petroleum, Inc. is a family-owned business that has been in operation since the
late 1970's. Company founder Abdul Zakaria, along with many of his family who
also run the business, were on hand with the Dripping Springs Chamber of
Commerce for the ribbon cutting event.
As a part of the ceremony, Lone Star Market recognized and
made a donation to two organizations that make a tremendous impact on the
Dripping Springs community: the Burke Center for Youth, and the Dripping
Springs ISD Council of PTAs. Each received a $500 donation on behalf of the
company.
"We pride ourselves on getting involved with and giving
back to the communities we serve," said Zakaria. "It's part of what
we believe in as a company and what we believe in as a family."
