Home Care In Liberty Hill, TX

Margaritas has closed its doors in Liberty Hill.

Time Out Sports Bar has announced it will also cease operations at its current location, with its final day of business set for Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026. Notices posted at the bar invite the community to attend a “last day of business” event that day, with all bartenders scheduled to be on site from 3 p.m. until close.

According to the notice, customers who have funds remaining on the bar’s sweepstakes machines will be given a two-week window to cash out. Management stated that specific times for cash-out availability will be posted.

Time Out Sports Bar also indicated plans to relocate and said information about its new location will be shared on the business’s Facebook page.

The building housing both Margaritas and Time Out Sports Bar has been sold to a new owner. As of publication, the identity of the buyer and any future plans for the property have not been publicly disclosed.

However, according to filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, a new Denny’s restaurant will occupy one of two lease spaces attached to a new convenience store development called Q-Mart, which is set to be located at 10280 W. Hwy. 29--is the same address as Margaritas.

Plans for the Q-Mart include an 11,766-square-foot main building, two fuel canopies, and a second lease space that remains open for a future tenant. The privately funded project carries an estimated construction cost of $3 million. Work is expected to begin in March 2026, with completion anticipated by February 2027.

A commercial demolition permit for Margaritas' playground, covered wood deck and canopies was approved in December 2025 to occur Jan. 5.

A flourishing Austin suburb is seeing its very first Costco Wholesale warehouse and its first Target rise up from dirt plots.

Here's what we know about what's coming to Liberty Hill.

Austin suburb getting its first Costco

It's been nearly a year since the membership-only warehouse and retail chain Costco registered a project filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). With construction costs of over $62.6 million, the store will span 160,000 square feet at the intersection of Highway 183 and Seward Junction Loop in Liberty Hill.

Although the project was initially expected to be completed by Nov. 30, it appears construction is still ongoing.

Local residents have shared rumors online that the new Costco will open in March 2026. However, a spokesperson told MySA that a specific timeline or tentative opening date could not be given due to a company policy.

The new locations listed on Costco's website don't include the Liberty Hill store; instead, only those with potential opening dates of October through December 2025 appear.

Liberty Hill also gaining one of the largest Target stores in the world

Also on Highway 183, another retail giant is building a store in Liberty Hill. Construction began at Highway 183 and State Highway 29 in July 2025 and is expected to be completed on June 6, 2026, per the TDLR filing. The $22 million store will be only slightly smaller than the new Costco, at over 148,000 square feet.

Three years ago, Target announced a commitment to building larger-format stores with a more modern design and expanded space.

"Guests and team members tell us they come to Target because they feel inspired, connected and welcomed," Executive Vice President and COO John Mulligan said in 2022. "With our reimagined store design and larger store footprint that better supports our same-day services, we can give guests more of what they love while incorporating features that build on our commitment to sustainability, community and helping all families discover the joy of everyday life."

The new store model reaches nearly 150,000 square feet, an increase of 20,000 from the average store.

A Hindu temple was inaugurated in Liberty Hill, Texas, last month, drawing members of the Indian American community, officials from the Indian Consulate, and other dignitaries.

“Then we decided to have our own permanent place and started to raise funds to build the temple,” Pandit Krishna Kumar, popularly known as Acharya Ji and founder of Shiv Durga Shakti Dham told indica as he described the move from a leased property in Leander, Texas. He said he had invested his own money to rent that earlier property, but a conflict with city authorities and the landowner forced him to relocate.

“We bought 5 acres of land in Liberty Hill in November 2024, and with the support of my followers, mainly from the Bay Area, and $500,000 loan from a bank, we started building the temple in January 2025,” Kumar said.

“The total cost of the project, including land and construction, is approximately $1.4 million,” he said. “Funding for the project was possible with the support of my followers in the Bay Area. The construction was completed in October 2025, and we hosted grand inaugural events like the Kalash Sthapana for the idols, havan, and Kalash Yatra. We also held a cultural program and Preeti Bhoj on November 23, which was attended by over 600 devotees.”

Kumar said he was pleased that the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, the deputy chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, and other ministers from across India offered virtual good wishes for the temple’s establishment.

“The total built area is 5000 square feet,” Kumar said as he described the two halls now used for religious and cultural activities, along with a kitchen and a store. He officiates all activities at the temple. There are 30 paved parking at present and has an open lot parking for more than 250 cars. “We had over 300 cars during the inauguration,” Kumar cited.

“We have started conducting yoga sessions, and we plan to start language classes soon,” he said. “We want to hold classes for Hindi, Sanskrit, and other languages, along with Gita and Ramayana classes, and dance classes. We also plan to have a cow shelter soon. Our objective is to educate Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) on helping poor people, especially poor girls in marriage, handicapped, and to build cow shelters in India.”

“I feel blessed that I could establish two temples in the United States,” Kumar said of his second project. His first was the Shiv Durga Temple of the Bay Area, established in 2012. He said both temples are dedicated to the ideology of the late Ashok Singhal, former international working president of the Vishva Hindu Parishad, whom he described as a fellow disciple.

Nearly one year ago, the beloved big box warehouse and retail store unveiled plans for a new Central Texas location, registering a project filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on January 13, 2025. The plans underscored a $62.6 million warehouse in the bustling Northwest Austin suburb of Liberty Hill.

The 160,000-square-foot project is rapidly underway at the intersection of U.S. Hwy. 183 and Seward Junction Loop, Liberty Hill, TX 78642. While the TDLR filing outlined a tentative construction completion date in late November, work continues on the property.

The upcoming storefront joins Costco's existing 50 warehouses across Texas. Area residents have speculated online about a potential opening timeframe in March 2026. However, a Costco spokesperson told MySA they can't give a specific timeline or tentative opening date for the warehouse as the chain has a company policy to not comment on active construction projects until concrete details are shored up. Online, Costco's new locations list doesn't yet outline the project, with upcoming locations capped at December openings.

It's not the only major retailer poised to call Liberty Hill home. Just down the road from the Costco development, Target is constructing a $22 million retail outpost at the southeast corner of U.S. Hwy. 183 and State Highway 29, Liberty Hill, TX 78642. That project, more than 148,000 square feet in size, kicked off construction back in July, with work tentatively expected to conclude in June 2026, per its TDLR filing.

Some have even theorized the newest Central Texas Target could be one of the largest Target stores in the world. The upcoming storefront follows Target's newer strategies that maximize store sizes. Back in November 2022, retail officials said current stores and future projects would be revitalized to inch closer to that 150,000-square-foot store threshold, a marked increase of more than 20,000 square feet from the chain's previous average store size.

"Our new store layout is bigger than our previous stores, and that extra space and optimized layout ensures our team can offer the very best of Target to our guests, whether they’re shopping online or in our stores," John Conlin Target's senior vice president of properties, said at the time.

Williamson County, Liberty Hill and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) celebrated the completion of a new roadway in Liberty Hill with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

The Freedom River Parkway project, formerly the Liberty Hill Bypass, constructed a new two-lane roadway from RM 1869 to CR 279/Bagdad Road, with turn lanes on RM 1869 and CR 279.

“This section of Freedom River Parkway will help alleviate traffic in downtown Liberty Hill,” said Pct. 2 Commissioner Cynthia Long. “The groundwork for this important project was laid over 16 years ago with the completion of the SH 29 corridor study. It is part of the county’s Long Range Transportation Plan and, upon completion of all three phases, will provide much needed relief to congestion on SH 29 through Liberty Hill.”

Commissioner Long introduced the roadway’s new name, formerly called the Liberty Hill Bypass, as Freedom River Parkway during the ribbon cutting ceremony.

“Liberty Hill and our nation are about freedom, and the next phase of the project is going to cross the San Gabriel River, so we thought it would be appropriate to name this road Freedom River Parkway,” said Long.

The project cost $14.44 million and was funded through the voter-approved 2019 WilCo Road Bond. The City of Liberty Hill donated right-of-way and installed a cul-de-sac to terminate Stubblefield Lane. TxDOT constructed the left and right turn lanes at the intersection of RM 1869 and Freedom River Parkway.

LJA served as the project’s design engineer, and Chasco Constructors was the contractor.

This middle portion of Freedom River Parkway is a part of a larger project which includes Freedom River Parkway West (SH 29 west of Liberty Hill High School to RM 1869) and Freedom River Parkway East (Bagdad Road/CR 279 to SH 29). Design activities for those segments are anticipated to be complete by spring 2026. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2026. Freedom River Parkway West and East are being funded through the 2023 voter-approved Williamson County Road Bond.
