Gladney Automotive Solutions / 2421 Harvey Mitchell Pkwy. S.
This automotive repair shop was built around the same time as the new NAPA Auto Parts (see next entry).
NAPA Auto Parts / 2417 Harvey Mitchell Pkwy. S.
Part of a new wave of development on the stretch of 2818 between Highway 6 and Texas Avenue, this new NAPA Auto Parts location opened in 2021 and relocated from an older location at 2144 Harvey Mitchell Parkway (now Glo by TFO).
BCS Swim School / 2413 Harvey Mitchell Parkway S.
Connected to the NAPA parking lot, this business was operational by the end of 2022.
2351 Harvey Mitchell Pkwy. S.
Bee Creek Veterinary Hospital opened originally in 1994 in a converted house and even in 1999 had the address of 123 Millers Lane before the re-numbering of FM 2818 addresses. Sometime around 2024 or 2025 it closed, however.
City Heights College Station / 2338 Harvey Mitchell Pkwy. S.
These apartments opened at the tail-end of 2020 (and if not, early 2021) as Encino Trace Apartment Homes (the name change happened sometime around 2024-2025); the website is located here. It is at the new extension of Dartmouth and Harvey Mitchell and the southwest corner. Originally, Dartmouth did not extend to Harvey Mitchell Parkway, it was a "dotted line" road for years that I still remember dead-ended just south of Southwest Parkway. A red barricade at the north side of FM 2818 marked where it would come in, and before it actually did build in the late 2000s, it required a lot of dirt to be built up due to the natural low spot north of FM 2818. Not long before plans were finalized, it was envisioned as a "city center", complete with a roundabout and numerous new buildings. That never happened, though additional government buildings were built along Krenek Tap Road, including a new police station.
2045-2051 Harvey Mitchell Pkwy. S.
From what I can figure out, it appears that this whole strip was once known as 1311 FM 2818 with four suites (A, B, C, and D) and later became 2051, 2049, 2047, and 2045, respectively. It's very confusing because at the east end was another 2049, with Kirk's Cleaners occupying the space from 2001 to the mid-2010s. Excepting that, 2051 was the home of C.C. Creations Trophies until around 2014 when C.C. Creations moved to their new location at 114 Holleman (at which point it was absorbed) and the failure of the store in 2016. By 2022 it was Skinjections Tattoos. 2049 was Nicks Nick Nacks ("A Home Decor Store") in 2012, closing in 2016, then becoming briefly the home of FNL Nutrition (existing and failing at Southgate around the same time. After that it appears to have been absorbed by Citymax Pawn. At 2047, Shoe Daze was here from 2005 to 2014 and was once home to Gracious Interiors. It too was briefly absorbed by Nicks Nick Nacks. In 2022 it was a storefront church (The Gathering Church) and by 2025 it was Citymax Pawn. The old suite D (2045) was Expressions Dance Studio since around 1994 to the early 2000s, then became Arsenal Tattoo by 2009 (they moved to downtown Bryan in 2013), then briefly a store called "Mattress by Appointment" in the early 2020s.
Second Chance Resale / 2041 Harvey Mitchell Parkway
This moved here around 2016 from 805 Wellborn. It kicked out Resale Den (renamed from Tea Leaves Boutique) and a short-lived Smoken Joe's location (briefly home to C-Ment Skateboards & Apparel) around 2016. Neither of the establishments it replaced had been there for very long. Before that it was Peas in a Pod Learning Center before they moved a few spaces down.
Quality Used Furniture / 2039 Harvey Mitchell Parkway South
This long-running store has been here since 1983 according to tax records.
Southwood Valley Animal Hospital / 2035 Harvey Mitchell Parkway South
This building was originally tan colored with a brown roof before a mid-2000s update changed it to white with a gray roof, and was during the time when we still went there regularly as it was the family cat's clinic. The poor cat never enjoyed going there, especially as it involved her carrying kennel. As of 2026, this appears to be undergoing renovations.
Curious Kids S.T.E.A.M. Academy / 2033 Harvey Mitchell Parkway South
This was Peas in a Pod Learning Center from around 2012 to 2024. I'm not sure what was there before.
2031 Harvey Mitchell Parkway S.
At least as of the late 2010s this was the home of Cen-Tex Subway, which owns ALL of the local Subway stores and has owned them for years. I can't confirm or deny it's still there though...
Grace Bible Church Southwood / 1901 Harvey Mitchell Pkwy. S.
One of the many "one church, two locations" churches in town (well, it was two locations, now it's four). It was built as A&M Church of Christ in 1978 and moved out in the early 2000s (to the bypass) and in the mid-2000s was "rebranded" as "Community Service Center" before an extensive renovation by Grace Bible Church to become the current location. This renovation didn't actually change the floorplan of the church, but it did replace most of the ceilings, floors, several changes to the main sanctuary to simplify the stage and add better acoustics, and a new coat of paint. They also extruded out the doors slightly. They used to have a video available that showed the "before" and "after" of the renovation on their website but I can't find it anymore. (Good thing someone saved a copy).
There isn't access to the church from the road. You have to use Nueces or Guadalupe Drive.
A&M Consolidated High School / 1801 Harvey Mitchell Pkwy. S.
Until the early 2010s, this was the city's only high school, relocated here in the early 1970s with a variety of expansions and renovations done on it over the years. The blog used to have some pictures and information on it, but these were removed later. I've added a bit more on it on Carbon-izer as "Life & Times at Consol". This also has no direct access off of Harvey Mitchell Parkway (there is another frontage road location), but that doesn't stop there from being school speed limit signs on FM 2818 anyway.
Exxon / 1800 Harvey Mitchell Pkwy. S.
Originally with the address of 700 FM 2818 and built c. 1997 this Exxon originally featured Popeyes (with a drive-through window), Zuka Juice (later rebranded as Jamba Juice in 1999), a convenience store, and Pride One Hour Cleaners. Popeyes later moved out around 2006 and became Commerce National Bank (later ANB/Amarillo National Bank, which closed around 2021...it went under both brandings). PJ's Coffee replaced it in October 2025. The Jamba Juice closed in the early 2000s and was vacant until Donald's Donuts moved in 2008. At some point the car wash closed...it was boarded up by 2010. The white awnings were all from 1997, they were withered when they replaced them around 2006.
Holiday RV Park / 1518 Harvey Mitchell Parkway South
While it dates back to the late 1970s, I'm not sure when it "officially" converted but this used to be Holiday Mobile Home Park, but in the early 2000s it began removing the trailer homes for RV sites, with the conversion complete by 2005. In the early 2010s, a site plan was filed to build a second phase at the southeast corner of Dowling and FM 2818, but this never ended up happening. What should have happened was at least making the main entrance as Dowling instead of Harvey Mitchell Parkway, as the overpass and re-configuration of traffic patterns has made the RV park difficult to get in and out of.
It should be noted that as early as 1999 a tour guide refers to it as the current name but the area was primarily permanent trailer homes, and the pads and hookups were not built like they are today.
1300-1350 Harvey Mitchell Parkway S.
Two apartment complexes, 2818 Apartments at 1300 and Parkway Apartments at 1350 (the addresses are out of order, with Parkway Apartments closer to the west) that interconnect and were built around the same time (circa 2009). 2818 Apartments, stylized as "28//18 Apartments", this sprawling apartment complex was known as 2818 Place until around late 2020/early 2021. Built in 2009, it connects to Parkway Place and Holleman Place (though in the case of the latter, the gate is always locked). Parkway Apartments were Parkway Place Apartments until around the same time 2818 Place changed its name.
Limestone Terrace Apartments / 1270 Harvey Mitchell Parkway S.
These apartments were built around 2011 and were known as Knightsgate Apartments until 2022.
Global College Station / 404 Harvey Mitchell Parkway S.
Student living complex (363 beds) that was ready for fall 2025. Annoyingly uses a left turn lane after great care was taken to eliminate or avoid such things on this stretch.
400 Harvey Mitchell Parkway S.
This office building was built around 2008, though as of this writing (May 2026) it looks like it only has the current home of TAMU Environmental Health & Safety (booted from 1111 Research Parkway).
687 N. Harvey Mitchell Parkway
This used to be a warehouse/terminal for Waco-based Central Freight Lines, but has been defunct since the company shut down in 2021. Also known as 683, Google reports "Bryan Mobile Truck & Trailer Repair" being here but reviews indicate it's not a local number and the property is abandoned anyway.
Herc Rentals / 740 North Harvey Mitchell Parkway
We Rent It Superstore opened in 2013 (relocated from 3030 South Texas Avenue South) and between 2018 and 2021 became H&E Equipment Services; as of July 2025 this has become Herc Rentals.
Storage Sense / 741 N. Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
This self-storage center has been here since at least the mid-1990s, and in 1998 was Allspace Self Storage with the address of 1920 S. FM 2818 (evidently, the difference between south and north FM 2818 was not at the city limits). The current name was adopted between 2018 and 2021; previously it was CubeSmart Self Storage, before that it was U-Store-It (changed between 2009 and 2015).
Morningstar Storage / 425 N. Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
This self-storage facility was completed in 2020.
Forest Pines Apartments / 852 N. Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
These apartments were built around 2018, the adjacent Forest Grove Apartments at 3105 Leonard Road were built a few years later.
Shell / 890 N. Harvey Mitchell Parkway
Originally holding the address of 901 S. FM 2818 when it was opened in 1999, this gas station (aka Leonard's Tiger Mart, aka Tigerland Shell) converted to the Shell brand in 2003, with the Washateria and self-serve car wash stations coming in around 2007.
Valero / 902 N. Harvey Mitchell Parkway
This gas station was initially built as a Mobil in 1995 (one of the few of its type in town) but eventually by the early 2000s became a Chevron, then became a Valero (the Valero sign is still Chevron-shaped). The convenience store these days seems to be managed by Vape Time, or they have a Vape Time store-within-a-store.
A+ Glass & Mirror / 908 N. Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
Based on what I can find, A+ Glass & Mirror began operations here in 2003.
Trinity Baptist Church / 1070 N. Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
This Baptist church was built in 1980. It is possible it moved from another location prior to 1980.
Jane Long Intermediate School / 1106 N. Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
Jane Long Junior High School opened in 1989 with its "twin" Sam Rayburn on the "East Bypass" serving eighth and ninth graders, and in 1991 was retooled as "Jane Long Middle School" with sixth through eighth graders (the ninth graders were moved to the new "Lamar Campus" at Villa Maria and Kent, before combining back at Bryan High School with the new "Silver Campus"). In fall 2017 it became Jane Long Intermediate School as part of a realignment in the Bryan ISD to have grades 5 and 6. The original address for Jane Long as 449 S. FM 2818.
1296 N. Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
This former 7-Eleven/Citgo was stranded by itself with only the apartments behind it to keep company, and was originally #1665-18183, first built back in 1976 and before 1999, had the address of 220 N. FM 2818. It became E-Z Mart in the early 1990s when 7-Eleven left the area, adopted its current name in 2003, and in 2014 dropped the Citgo branding when it stopped selling gas and closed entirely around 2020.
Timber Ridge RV Park / 1360 N. Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
I have to say that I was disappointed when a huge swath of trees disappeared around 2013 or 2014 for what would be this RV park. If you look at the website's map they have 90 spaces. No trees, no pool.
Valero / 1520 North Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
This gas station (with "Tailgate" as the convenience store and a large laundromat with an alcohol license) opened around 2025.
B-Way Corporation / 1591 N. Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
All I know about this facility is it manufactures plastic buckets (the big five-gallon type) and is owned by Mauser Packaging Locations today.
U.S. Army Reserve Center / 2350 N. Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
The new offices of the local U.S. Army Reserve Center opened around 2011-2012. Their old facilities were at the corner of West Carson Street and Bomber.
Toyo Ink - Bryan / 2400 N. Harvey Mitchell Pkwy.
This Japanese specialty ink company opened its Bryan facility in the year 2008.
HASA Inc. - Bryan / 2780 N. Harvey Mitchell Parkway
Part of a California-based company that manufactures swimming pool chemicals (I can't determine if this facility makes anything or just a distribution/storage facility, though the tanks in the back suggest differently). The building was built in 2000...prior to that, the railroad spur (which I'm not sure if HASA uses or not) just went...nowhere and extended out almost to 2818. This was quite interesting as a child as I really liked railroads at the time, and here was a spur that just went almost the road before dead-ending.
Not long after this, a bridge goes over the railroad mainline and FM 2818 comes to an end at the north side of Highway 6 with some stoplights (which were only built in 2019, though prior to around 2007 there were some yellow blinkers here).
Chevron/Denny's / 2890 N. Harvey Mitchell Parkway
A Chevron truck stop was built here at the southwest corner of FM 2818 and Highway 6, opening in 2010. The name of the convenience store is "Big Gas" (no comment) and is attached to Denny's.
