Hospitality group Brainstorm Shelter has filed a request for proposal to bring Second Rodeo Brewing to San Antonio. The company is eyeing the 14,000-square-foot site at The Rim that formerly housed The Rustic.
Why it matters
The proposal marks a potential expansion into the San Antonio market for the brewery brand. Following the departure of the previous tenant, the move would repurpose a prominent retail property in the area.
The potential space at 17619 La Cantera Parkway measures approximately 14,000 square feet. The site served as the home for The Rustic from 2017 until it closed in May 2024.
The players
Brainstorm Shelter
This is a hospitality group that oversees the development and management of various dining and brewery concepts.
Second Rodeo Brewing
Founded by Jason Boso, this brewery concept operates an initial location at the Mule Alley development in Fort Worth.
Jason Boso
He is the founder of Second Rodeo Brewing and a key figure in the brand's expansion efforts.
The details
Brainstorm Shelter, the hospitality group behind the concept, has identified the space as part of its growth opportunities. While the filing initiates the potential move to The Rim, the project still faces several hurdles before a new location can be finalized.
Timeline
The Rustic first opened its location at The Rim in 2017.
Jason Boso founded the original Second Rodeo Brewing in 2021.
The Rustic vacated the San Antonio property in May 2024.
The proposal for the new tenant was reported in September 2026.
Market Landscape
This move reflects a broader trend of hospitality groups targeting established shopping centers like The Rim for brand expansion. It positions Second Rodeo Brewing to compete for foot traffic in a high-density retail corridor identified by firms like Weitzman.
Residents of San Antonio may see a new dining and brewery option materialize if the proposal successfully moves forward. The potential opening would utilize a large, currently vacant space within a popular shopping center.
The takeaway
The proposal highlights how large-scale hospitality groups are actively scouting for high-traffic retail sites to execute brand growth strategies. Local patrons should monitor future announcements regarding project approvals for updates on when the site might reopen.
