Open For Business: Check Out 5 New Spots in Lake Travis

Written by Cathy Hale | August 5, 2015

For months we’ve been talking about all of the fun things happening in the Lake Travis area thanks to the return of Lake Travis, from reporting on lake levels to yachting to lakeside parks and recreation. There have been other exciting things happening too!

During this time, a lot of the new businesses we started talking about in early March 2015 are now open for business — or pretty close! The rainy days are behind us, so commercial development in the area has been in full swing.

The Oaks at Lakeway is taking shape quickly and although details about newly confirmed tenants isn’t mentioned on the website, we hear rumblings about who might be coming in. But that’s for a future post!

If you’ve driven by the old Iguana Grill, you’ll see the Lucy’s Fried Chicken sign hanging proudly at the entrance, which is currently surrounded by construction fence. In just a few short months, it will be open!

Let’s take a look at some of the new businesses that have opened their doors this summer.

The new 195-room hotel in the Lake Travis area, the Sonesta Hotel Bee Cave, officially opened its doors last week. In fact, the City of Bee Cave proclaimed July 5 Sonesta Day!

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony and opening party, the hotel’s first-ever guests settled in for their stay at this chic Hill Country destination.

We first wrote about the Sonesta Hotel in early January when construction was well underway. News of the hotel spread quickly as well as questions about what it would bring to the Lake Travis community.

Last week, partners, community leaders and friends of High 5 gathered at Antebellum Oaks to celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony for their new bowling entertainment facility that will be located at the north end of Oaks at Lakeway shopping center. Despite the clouds, everyone was all smiles with their colorful hard hats and golden shovels.

“We’re all families — our partners, our investors, our supporters — so we’re going to make this a place that we want our children to enjoy,” says owner and proud father of three young kiddos, Scott Emley. “Our focus is world-class service at High 5 and running a business with a strong sense of community.”

Scott and his wife Jenny explained the four-year process they’ve gone through to bring their vision of High 5 to fruition and how Lakeway is the perfect place to make their dream a reality.
