San Antonio will welcome its first location of the discount retailer Sierra, part of the TJX Companies, by the third quarter of 2025. The store will be situated in The RIM Shopping Center, which is also set to host a new Marshalls store, further enhancing the shopping experience in the area.
The RIM Shopping Center is poised to become a noteworthy retail destination, featuring all five concepts of TJX Companies, including a combined TJ Maxx/HomeGoods and a Homesense. This development will position the shopping center as one of only two in the United States showcasing this unique feature.
The new Sierra location will occupy a space previously held by Market by Macy’s, a notable transition that reflects the evolving retail landscape in San Antonio. Meanwhile, Marshalls will take over a site formerly occupied by the now-defunct brand Hemispheres, which was owned by Hobby Lobby. The RIM Shopping Center is already home to several established discount retailers, including Nordstrom Rack, Saks Off Fifth, DSW, and Popshelf, catering to a growing demand for affordable shopping options.
Sierra is recognized for offering deep discounts on a variety of merchandise including clothing, accessories, home goods, fitness gear, and outdoor equipment. Shoppers are particularly drawn to Sierra’s emphasis on rugged outdoor bags and gear, which aligns well with the lifestyle of many residents in the region who enjoy outdoor activities.
In addition to the news about Sierra, the local retail scene has seen some changes. Bexar Goods Co., a well-known leather goods store in San Antonio, has recently closed after a successful 14-year operation. The store, which opened in 2011, initially focused on bespoke men’s bags but later expanded its offerings to include smaller goods like wallets. Bexar Goods was particularly popular for its collaborations with the San Antonio Spurs and its distinctive cactus logo. The shop will continue to produce made-to-order goods until April, responding to community demand, but has ceased accepting new business.
In local sports news, Amarillo High Lady Sandies’ track star Sierra Cornell has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the West Texas A&M Track & Field team. Cornell has made significant contributions to her high school track team and boasts a personal best in the 800 meters at 2:14, reflecting her dedication and talent.
Meanwhile, Christopher Nwuli, a basketball player from Sierra Canyon Trailblazers, has announced his transfer to Dynamic Prep. Previously, Nwuli played for Sierra Canyon and has been ranked No. 61 in the 2025 ESPN Top 100. He has also signed with Rutgers University. Dynamic Prep has a successful sports program, having won state titles and is currently on an impressive 11-game winning streak.
In another highlight from the basketball scene, Bryce James, the son of NBA star LeBron James, has helped Sierra Canyon secure the California Division I championship. This victory marks an important milestone in James’ high school career, showcasing his resilience and ability to perform under pressure despite a challenging game. This championship also marks the first state title for one of LeBron James’ children at the high school level. Looking forward, Bryce James is set to continue his basketball journey at the University of Arizona.
The changing retail landscape in San Antonio, along with significant achievements by local athletes, reflects a vibrant community that is both evolving and thriving, as it welcomes new businesses and supports local talents.
