Brownwood Mayor Stephen Haynes announced today during his annual State of the City Address that a Cotton Patch Café will soon be coming to Brownwood.   The proposed restaurant will be a part of the new development from Leeco Properties called the Shoppes at Pecan Bayou on E. Commerce where a new McAlister’s Deli was announced late last year to be under development.

“Cotton Patch Café has signed a contract to build a restaurant in that same development with McAlister’s Deli which I think will be a great fit for Brownwood.  I love eating at both of those places,” said Mayor Haynes.  “Both provide good food, sit-down quality food, at a reasonable price. I think they will both be exceptionally popular in Brownwood and I hope they succeed.”

Both Cotton Patch Café and McAlister’s Deli will be built on the road frontage in the new development on E. Commerce, in front of a new proposed strip center also being developed by Leeco Properties.    He said the new development is a desirable location partly because of the new United Supermarkets that opened last year, which is located across Riverside Drive from the Shoppes at Pecan Bayou location.

“When you take new developments like United, and they build a nice new store, guess where everybody wants to be,” Haynes said.

No timeline has been announced on construction of the new restaurants.
