Four Daughters Collective, a boutique offering "elevated Texas style," will open in Liberty Hill Aug. 1, co-owner Shayna Roberts confirmed.

“It doesn't matter if you're a kid, it doesn't matter if you're a 65-year-old woman, I guarantee you will walk into our store and fall in love with at least one piece,” Roberts said.

The details: Roberts will be opening the boutique with her best friend and business partner, Ryan Dabadie. The business, which is currently located in Southern Sugar and Brow, will feature clothing, skincare, home goods and other offerings.

The boutique is planning on having a grand opening from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Aug. 1, which is intended to "introduce" the business to the community, Roberts said.

In addition to Southern Sugar and Brow, Four Daughters Collective plans to feature other local vendors during the grand opening event.

Cedar Park City Council voted unanimously June 25 to approve changes to the city’s food truck regulations that city staff said are necessary in order to comply with a new state law.

The context: As of July 1, the operators of food trucks, referred to in government documents as mobile food establishments or MFEs, no longer need permits from cities or counties. Instead, a single statewide permit process has replaced the mix of local regulations previously in effect.

House Bill 2844, also known as the Mobile Food Vendor Regulatory Consistency Act, aims to streamline permitting and reduce regulatory inconsistencies across different jurisdictions by shifting regulatory powers from the local level to the state, according to state legislators.
