Havertys Furniture's College Station location is closing soon, according to the signage on the front of the building.

What's new: Havertys will be closing two Texas locations in August, the other being San Angelo.

According to Furniture Today, Havertys President Steve Burdette cited rising import and fuel costs as the main factors behind the store’s closure.

“Vendor import costs are rising, resulting in price increases. Rising fuel expenses for dedicated fleets serving DC to DC and rising fuel expenses at the pumps for home delivery fleets serving the customers,” he said. “These rising costs will impact margins and expenses. However, these costs are factored into our margin and expense guidance.”

Before you go: The store is currently running sales on all types of furniture at different discount rates before the closure.

Long before iced lattes and specialty coffee became commonplace among college students and busy professionals, Sweet Eugene’s in College Station introduced residents to drinks many hadn’t heard about before. More than three decades later, the locally owned coffeehouse remains a community gathering spot where students, families, study groups and longtime regulars all find a place to connect.

At a glance: Known for its signature coffee, pastries, sandwiches and decor, Sweet Eugene’s has been serving BCS since 1993. The coffeehouse attracts people from all backgrounds and serves as a spot for residents and visitors alike to get together and enjoy coffee at a leisurely pace.

Owned and operated by A&M graduate Aaron Brown, his passion for the business and the people of College Station is shown in every cup served in-house and in the drive-thru, but it wasn’t always the direction he thought his life would take.

“It feels like a third home to people, and I think it’s neat that people feel so welcome,” he said.
