Version 4.0 of Wellborn Road revives the page. This road stretches for over 20 miles from Villa Maria Road in Bryan down to Highway 6, and there are three address sections, Wellborn Road in Bryan, Wellborn Road in College Station, and FM 2154 beyond Harvey Mitchell Parkway. This page covers all three.
While this picks up from Version 3.0 which was removed a while back, it does take a few things permanently as they have new blog posts: Westgate Center (post), Berkeley House (post), Southwest Crossing (post), Jones Crossing (post), Koppe Bridge Bar & Grill (post), Wellborn Shopping Center (post), Exxon (at Rock Prairie, post), America's Country Store (post), Wellborn Grocery (post), and TX Burger (post). It also removes Domain at Northgate (Church Avenue address), Texas A&M Hotel and Conference Center (Joe Routt address), and W.A. Tarrow Park (Holleman address). Check this map for things already covered.
It adds Saddlewood Apartments, Reveille Ranch, Daiquiri Barn, 201 Wellborn Road (former Equity office), 305 Wellborn Road (former Universalist Unitarian Church), HTeaO, Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, Club Car Wash, Drew's Car Wash, Wellborn Baptist Church, Aggieland Grass & Stone, Chevron, Baylor Scott & White Clinic - College Station Wellborn, Storage King USA, Brazos Valley Tree Farm, Diamond Shamrock, and The Factory Basketball.
It updates Wave's Z Islander, 1437 Wellborn Road (formerly titled as "Chipotle"), Whataburger, Shell (Rock Prairie), Sunoco, Sonic Drive-In, and Southwest Business Center.
VILLA MARIA ROAD WEST TO RAYMOND STOTZER PARKWAY / UNIVERSITY DRIVE
This section is the only one in Bryan. For years it featured one stoplight (Old College Road, owing to when Wellborn curved into the road and did not extend to Villa Maria). It lacks a turning lane due to a narrower right of way, and because of that when the F&B Road stoplight was installed around 2015-2016, the road briefly becomes two way (and for some reason, F&B Road does not line up with Old College Road). Also, in the mid-2000s, the Villa Maria end was rebuilt with an underpass. Besides Westgate Center, there are mostly apartments in this stretch.Saddlewood Apartments / 3625 Wellborn Road
These were built around 1998-1999, and also known as Saddlewood Club (which appeared to be the original development name).
Reveille Ranch / 3645 Wellborn Road
This was built as Campus Lodge around 2003 but was branded as Reveille Ranch by fall 2007.
Wave's Z Islander / 3803 Wellborn Road
Opening in fall 2009, this student apartment complex (also known as Z Islander) is designed around a Disneyesque tropical theme with lots of bright colors (which were toned down later as the paint started to fade) and weird architecture. Notable incidents here include a plane crash in the parking lot that killed two people (the occupants in the plane, not anyone in the apartment complex) when a small plane bound for Galveston malfunctioned and crashed before it could get clearance to land at Easterwood for repairs.
Daiquiri Barn / 4501 Wellborn Road
The last Bryan address before it switches over to College Station numbering, this was opened as a gas station and convenience store (Nash's Food Store) in February 1983 (records exist for "Billy's Beer Barn" for three months in 1982 but I don't think it opened under that name), and I believe had a drive-through for liquor service from day one. Within a few years the store changed hands to Cargo Bay, then sold to new owners who changed the name to Burley's Cargo Bay (but I'm not sure if the sign was changed). In the mid-1990s it changed hands to Double Quick (which eventually closed the Citgo gas station). Indications it changed hands again in 1999, and while it kept the name initially, would rebrand as Daiquiri Barn in 2017, painting the building red. Just south of this is Lark Northgate, an apartment complex that sits on the city limits and has the incorrect address of 500 Wellborn Road (it should be 500 1st Street).
RAYMOND STOTZER PARKWAY / UNIVERSITY DRIVE TO HOLLEMAN DRIVE EAST / HOLLEMAN DRIVE
University Drive and Raymond Stotzer Parkway is all FM 60, but to the west of the railroad is Raymond Stotzer Parkway, and it's University Drive to the east. There are two stoplights here to provide access to University Drive as it passes under the tracks. This is the section that goes through the Texas A&M University campus, speed dips to 35 mph and there are two in-campus stoplights (Old Main Drive and John Kimbrough Boulevard/Joe Routt Boulevard). Kyle Field is sometimes known at 161 Wellborn, but it's not the right address format as the zero address for Wellborn Road goes south. As a result, there aren't any addresses until after George Bush Drive.201 Wellborn Road
One of three major buildings demolished on Wellborn Road for an underpass project that has yet to start, this was an office for Equity Real Estate Management from 1998 to around 2017 when it relocated to a location on Bryan for a few years before moving to Navarro and FM 2154.
305 Wellborn Road
Home to the Unitarian Universalist Church before it was condemned and torn down around 2017, the earliest reference I can find for this address is 1970 and even then, the "Universalist Fellowship Hall" had been established.
HTeaO / 815 Wellborn Rd.
This HTeaO location opened January 2024.
HOLLEMAN DRIVE EAST / HOLLEMAN DRIVE to SOUTHWEST PARKWAY
First United Methodist Church / 1125 Wellborn Road
This church was built in the early 2000s; the Google Earth aerial shows construction finishing off in early 2003.
SOUTHWEST PARKWAY to HARVEY MITCHELL PARKWAY
1437 Wellborn Road
Chipotle opened here in late December 2021 while Wild Pita opened September 2024.
Whataburger / 1451 Wellborn Road
Whataburger opened here in January 2018. It's 24 hours and cars will still stretch out in the drive-through to the wee hours of the night.
HARVEY MITCHELL PARKWAY to ROCK PRAIRIE ROAD WEST / ROCK PRAIRIE ROAD
The Harvey Mitchell Parkway overpass was originally a single stoplight, but now is an overpass with two stoplights for the ramps to the road. In any case, it was completed in 2011 after construction began in 2009.
Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers / 12051 FM 2154
This oil change/tire change service opened in 2023.
Club Car Wash / 12055 FM 2154
This opened around late 2021 (possibly very early 2022) as Rapid Express Car Wash and within a year or two had changed to the Club Car Wash name.
Dunkin' / 12061 FM 2154
This Dunkin' Donuts ("Donuts" was dropped from the name a few years ago as part of a corporate rebrand) opened in November 2020 and features Baskin-Robbins inside as a co-brand.
Dutch Bros Coffee / 12065 FM 2154
This West Coast-based coffee shop is drive through only (as per their model) and opened in January 2021.
Shell / 12677 FM 2154
This Shell opened around December 2002 as a Shell (though it might've been Texaco in planning processes). Max Express is the convenience store here with a space leased to Polly's Cocina (12675 FM 2154). While initially the home of Lajita's Grill, Polly's Cocina (opened around 2007) is the last of "Mi Cocina", which once boasted at least three stores (including one on Southgate) in the area and had to change its name due to a complaint from Dallas-based Mi Cocina.
ROCK PRAIRIE ROAD WEST / ROCK PRAIRIE ROAD to ROYDER ROAD
The Rock Prairie stoplight was installed in the late 1990s/early 2000s and replaced the North Graham stoplight a block up (it was closed in 1999, and originally connected to Victoria).Sonic Drive-In / 12755 FM 2154
Sonic built a store here in 2008 to replace their gas station location next door. (Link).
Drew's Car Wash / 12785 FM 2154
This was opened around early 2023 (possibly late 2022), replacing an older self-serve car wash (opened as Stars and Stripes Car Wash in 2002, but had become Pure Car Wash by 2009).
Southwest Business Center / 12815 FM 2154
Strip center with mostly non-retail tenants, but it does have a Subway, Top Donuts, and Potato Shack Plus as restaurant tenants. 2017 PDF here (archived from here). One of its early tenants was Oxbow Meat Market, though by 2006 it was gone.
Chicken Express / 12875 FM 2154
Chicken Express opened a restaurant here in 2005.
Dollar General / 12905 FM 2154
Dollar General opened a store here in summer 2004 as their first two locations in College Station proper after an attempt in the former Kmart closed after two years. While the first of these locations (at Longmire and Harvey Mitchell, a stone's throw from their old location) was a failure as well, this Dollar General survives and thrives. It is the only Dollar General in College Station today (Bryan has seven).
Aggieland Animal Health Center & Pet Resort / 13223 FM 2154
This vet clinic moved here in 2002 from the corner of Graham Road and Wellborn (southeast side), adding the "pet resort" (kenneling) features.
Sunoco / 13601 FM 2154
Early planning documents show this to be a Chicks (substantially smaller than the huge store they built on the bypass), but since Chicks was bought by Stripes, it opened in 2016 as an ordinary Sunoco/Stripes with Laredo Taco Company inside. It's not easy to get in and out of, depending which way you're going. In the early 2020s it rebranded as 7-Eleven. The picture there is mine from around 2021, when it was still Stripes.
Wellborn Baptist Church / 14575 FM 2154
Wellborn Baptist Church moved here in 2005 from 3991 McCullough Road in a new facility.
Aggieland Grass & Stone / 14581 FM 2154
This outdoor retailer launched in 2010.
Chevron / 14725 FM 2154
This opened in late 2010 with Max Express (though sometime in late 2020 it sold out and is no longer branded as such); it has subleases as well. The space on the left was vacant until a restaurant called "Game Time Pizza & More" opened in August 2014 but it closed in January 2015. It was later re-occupied by Yole's La Familia Taqueria. Suite 300 was Kirk's Cleaners from approx. 2015 to 2021.
ROYDER ROAD to GREENS PRAIRIE TRAIL
Baylor Scott & White Clinic - College Station Wellborn / 15195 FM 2154
This clinic opened November 2023.
Storage King USA / 15745 FM 2154
Originally opened as Crossroads Moving & Storage circa 2016, this became Storage King by August 2022.
GREENS PRAIRIE TRAIL TO HIGHWAY 6 SOUTH
There's just not much beyond the Greens Prairie Trail stoplight. There are a few subdivisions and Millican (which has American Plant Food at 22492 FM 2154, the ONLY even-numbered FM 2154 address actually on the road).Brazos Valley Tree Farm / 20881 FM 2154
This sells shade and fruit trees; it has been open since 1998.
Diamond Shamrock / 22299 FM 2154
This new-build Diamond Shamrock (still crazy to me!) features Reggie's Country Store. While the intersection was a four-way stop for as long as I can remember (back to the late 1990s at least), Reggie's has only been here since around 2023-2024.
The Factory Basketball / 26175 FM 2154
Basketball training facility opened circa 2025. (website link)
The road ends at Highway 6 South with an overpass built in the late 2000s.
