Mean Green Alum Owned Business- Central/South Texas

[meanJewGreen]

While this could be in another board section, I figured more folks might be able to help on the football board.

My ask: does anyone know businesses owned/operated by UNT alums in Central and South Texas?

So far I have:

Hula Hut

Lamberts

A real estate agents/ insurance folks

Austin Gourmet Popcorn 

Laundris

 

Could use some more help (especially around restaurants, bars, booze, etc)

I have decided to make a Google Map out of Mean Green-owned businesses.  Seems like an obvious gap to fill.

...this is brand new and I need help finding all Mean Green alumni-owned businesses, including Denton! You can post here or DM me and I will add it.

@meanJewGreen are you referring to this Laundris? https://www.laundris.com/

Yep, Don Ward is Austin alum and owns it. Has gotten a lot of press recently.

The Dive is owned by alumni Lloyd Banks, former owner of Rockin' Rodeo, R-Bar, etc.  He was highlighted on the alumni Facebook page.

Denton Independent Hamburger is owned by Dave Barnett's little brother Mike who is an alum.

I think he is also opening Smoke & Fire in Krum at the 50West site in Krum which is owned by alum Alan Chamberlain.

@UNTLifer thanks! I've met Lloyd at the old RR, was wondering what he's been up to these days.

Feel like many a student went to their first country concert at RR...

Got it. Thanks!

Might as well add Gallery Furniture in Houston and all their relevant locations due to Mattress Mack
