What's Coming to Liberty Hill in 2027

New restaurants, a Walmart Supercenter, and more are on the way. Here's the full picture of what's headed to our community.

Liberty Hill has had quite a run lately. A Target. A new downtown gathering spot. New neighborhoods filling in at a pace that surprises even longtime residents. But 2027 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet, with a list of announced businesses that would have seemed like a stretch just a few years ago.

From a 176,000-square-foot Walmart Supercenter to Austin's beloved P. Terry's Burger Stand, the brands choosing Liberty Hill right now are telling the same story: this is not a town people are passing through anymore. It is a destination, and the city is growing with intention.

Here is everything confirmed and underway as of October 2026.

The Year It All Arrives

Restaurants

P. Terry's Burger Stand

Coming 2027

10990 Hwy. 29 (next to Wag-A-Bag, in front of Target)

Austin's homegrown burger institution is bringing its 41st Texas location to Liberty Hill. Known for 100% Black Angus beef, hand-cut Idaho fries, and hand-spun milkshakes, P. Terry's has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way. The 4,056-square-foot stand will be built from the ground up. SVP Matthew Montgomery confirmed the chain is "excited to bring P. Terry's Burger Stand to Liberty Hill."

Construction start: January 2027 · Target opening: Q4 2027

Waffle House

Construction Started

11730 Hwy. 29, Liberty Hill

The all-hours American diner is coming to Highway 29. The 1,840-square-foot location filed with the state in 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and a winter completion targeted. Waffle House is famous for not closing for anything, which makes it a community landmark the moment it opens its doors.

Construction start: June 2026 · Completion targeted: Winter 2026/2027

Whataburger

Site Plan Approved

12925 Hwy. 29 (Heritage Ridge)

Whataburger needs no introduction in Texas. Liberty Hill City Council approved the site plan in September 2025, clearing the path for construction. No official opening date has been confirmed, but the permits are in place and the project is moving forward. The location sits in front of the Heritage Ridge subdivision on Hwy. 29.

Site plan approved: September 2025 · Opening: TBD

La Tequila Jalisco

Coming March 2027

13800 W. Hwy. 29, Liberty Hill

This one has been years in the making. First announced in 2022, La Tequila Jalisco worked through permitting delays before new state filings showed a revised 3,400-square-foot design moving forward. Owner Cesar Flores stayed committed throughout the process. Completion is targeted for March 2027, and Liberty Hill is ready for it.

Construction start: July 2026 · Targeted completion: March 2027

What This Means

Four restaurant brands choosing the same highway corridor in the same window is not a coincidence.

When P. Terry's, Whataburger, Waffle House, and La Tequila Jalisco all file plans for Liberty Hill within months of each other, it signals the same thing it always signals: the traffic counts are there, the rooftops are there, and the household income to support them is there. Brands like these do not guess. They study the numbers, and the numbers are pointing at Liberty Hill.

Retail and Commercial

Walmart Supercenter

Coming Nov. 2027

19699 Ronald W. Reagan Blvd. (near Hwy. 29)

The anchor of the planned Santa Rita Ranch Center, a $100 million development. The Supercenter comes in at 176,246 square feet and is expected to bring approximately 400 jobs to Liberty Hill. A separate fuel station is also part of the project. This is not just a grocery run. It is a full shopping destination that cuts the need to drive to Cedar Park or Round Rock for everyday needs.

Construction start: October 2026 · Targeted completion: November 2027

United Heritage Credit Union

Under Construction

135 US 183, Liberty Hill (next to Target)

A full-service branch opening in early 2027, right next to the new Target at the US 183 corridor. Construction began in August 2026. Local banking infrastructure expanding alongside the retail corridor is exactly the kind of signal a growing community needs to see.

Construction started: August 2026 · Target opening: Early 2027

Already Open in 2026

The wave coming in 2027 did not appear out of nowhere. Liberty Hill had a strong run of openings in 2026 that set the stage for everything above.

Target opened its first Liberty Hill location in October at 351 US 183, 148,000 square feet with a Starbucks, CVS Pharmacy, and Apple section. Parker's Mercantile opened downtown at 1017 Main Street with live music, local goods, and a great community vibe. Rodeo Mexican Kitchen opened on Hwy. 29 in August. Foodie's Corner opened at 1487 US 183 with 12 fueling stations and an in-house Picante Tex-Mex Grill. Masala Pizza and Bitezz brought South Asian fusion to the area at 9073 W. Hwy. 29.

2026 brought the retail anchor. 2027 brings the infrastructure to match the growth.

A Note from Jessica

I have lived in Liberty Hill for years and I have watched this community build from the inside. The question I get most often from buyers considering the area is some version of, "But what is out there?" The answer in 2027 is going to be a very different conversation than it was two years ago.

For homeowners, this kind of commercial growth matters for your property values. For buyers on the fence, this is the moment before the story is fully told. The people who moved here when it was still quiet are sitting on a pretty solid investment. If you want to talk through what the Liberty Hill market looks like for you right now, whether you are buying or thinking about selling, I would love to connect.
