4001 Highway 6 South
Originally built in the late 2010s (I know Jersey Mike's was there as of January 2019) this strip center still has its first-generation tenants. As of 2025 these include Smoothie King (100), WGR Custom Homes (200), School of Rock (300), Row House (400), The Little Gym (600, no 500), and Jersey Mike's Subs (900, no 700 or 800).
4003 Highway 6 South
This shopping center was built around 2022 with Piasano's Italian Pizzeria and Queen Nail Spa. Piasano's closed October 2024.
Dutch Bros Coffee / 4009 Texas 6 South
Dutch Bros opened its third area location here in June 2021 at the corner of Scott & White Drive and the frontage road.
4030 Hwy. 6 South
This office building has Briarcrest Cleaners and American Momentum Bank on the first floor, with other smaller office tenants on the second and third. Directly behind it (connected to its parking lot) is a Marco's Pizza, which opened in January 2015. It served as a Popeyes from 2006 to around early 2013. In April 2015, "La Quinta Inn & Suites College Station South" (the second La Quinta Inn in town) opened next to Marco's. These two tenants are at 1842 and 1838 Graham Road, respectively.
4040 Highway 6 South
Just to the south of 4030 is this strip center, anchored by Stella Southern Cafe, a popular local breakfast and lunch restaurant (opened July 2018), with two other tenants as of 2022, "Brazos Valley Print Copy & More" at suite 200 (though I can find almost no Internet presence, despite a professional sign with droplets representing CMYK colors. The rest of the building, is "Suites on 6" which is what "Mineral Massage" (as well as other unsigned tenants--Google mentions "Armory Essentials" and "Buck the Builder"). Based on the newer Street View from the highway side, it seems that Brazos Valley Print Copy & More has disappeared.
Christland Church / 4050 Texas 6 South
This former gym opened in January 2004 and expanded around six years later. I seem to recall that the expansion was marketed as something like "more than a gym in 2010" or something along those lines. Unfortunately, around late 2016/early 2017, I can't remember when, Gold's Gym, which had announced a location at Tower Point, bought the gym, and while it didn't change names, it would close when the new location opened. As a result, it closed permanently after May 31, 2017. In 2018, Christland Church moved into the former gym as a permanent tenant.
4075 Highway 6 South
From sometime in the early 1980s to January 2016, this was The Silk Stocking, a strip club and the only one to exist in the Bryan-College Station area. The strip club was originally named The Blue Dolphin until some point in the early 1990s and that remained its legal name before it was shut down for tax evasion...and despite the new building with Real Wellness Fitness (opened 2024), it's still zoned as a sexually oriented business.
Hillier Funeral Home / 4080 Texas 6 South
This Bryan-based funeral home built a College Station location in 2015. The parking lot has a back entrance onto Barron Road.
Goodwill / 4101 State Highway 6 South
This was Independence Harley-Davidson from January 2005 to August 2016 (when it was sold and became The Ranch Harley-Davidson) and The Ranch Harley-Davidson from August 2016 to September 2023 when they built a new location next door. Goodwill moved in sometime in 2024 (they did not close their old location in the former Kmart, though that may be more based on a lease).
The Ranch Harley-Davidson / 4111 State Highway 6 South
This motorcycle dealership opened in September 2023 when it moved from 4101 next door.
The Real Estate Gallery / 4121 State Highway 6 South
This looks like a strip mall but it's an office building as the tenants are interconnected inside. It was built around 2017. Tenants as of 2025 include, according to the storefront, Gogh Gogh Coffee Company, Homewatch CareGivers, RE/MAX Bryan-College Station, College Station Visitors Center, Aggieland Houses, 12th Man Technology Service Center, Midtown Mortgage, and Pinnacle Bank.
Chevron / 4150 State Highway 6 South
This started out as a short-lived gas station called Buff's Food N Fuel (4100 Texas Avenue) from 1984 to the late 1980s. In 1990 it reopened as Bossier Chrysler-Dodge (it may have gotten its large parking lot during this time, though that could've been from the old location) when it moved from 1411 Texas Avenue in Bryan. It moved to 301 N. Earl Rudder Freeway in 1999, and became a Texaco in 2000 with a new address (4150). It became a Shell in 2003, then converted to Chevron in 2011. For a period of around five years in the late 2000s, access was difficult as the frontage roads were one way but Barron did not cross under the highway. This was fixed in 2009 when the Barron overpass was completed. A taqueria, La Familia Taqueria, has been here since the late 2000s.
Brazos Valley Pool & Spa / 4160 Highway 6 South
Aaron Automotive was built as a brand-new building in 2020 but closed in 2022. As of April 2024 it was planned to be remodeled as First Adventures Daycare, but Brazos Valley Pool & Spa ended up moving here instead from 3114 Texas Avenue South.
Living Hope Baptist Church / 4170 Highway 6 South
This church has been in this spot since January 2002 when the building was dedicated.
Extraco Bank / 4189 Texas 6 South
This branch of Extraco Banks opened in 2023.
Gringo's Mexican Kitchen / 4300 Texas 6 South
This popular Mexican chain restaurant out of Houston opened in July 2022.
Walk-On's / 4320 Highway 6 South
Before the opening of Gringo's, Walk-On's opened in March 2020 as the furthest north development (at the time) of "Tower Point", a large mixed-use area anchored by H-E-B opened a decade ago. Pretty much everything from this point onto William D. Fitch Parkway on this side of the road (even numbered addresses) are part of Tower Point.
Saltgrass Steak House / 4330 Highway 6 South
Until this restaurant opened in August 2014, there were no Landry's-owned restaurants in the College Station area. Despite being a bit pricey, it was a huge draw for the next few years. It also didn't hurt that it was the first true sit-down restaurant in the area (not counting fast food) and the first real exclusive draw to Tower Point. By the time Saltgrass opened, the hotel behind it, Best Western Plus College Station Inn & Suites (950 Arrington Road) was well underway on construction, and opened in 2015.
Costco Wholesale / 4321 Texas 6 South
Across from the three restaurants at Tower Point comes a full Costco, opened August 4, 2022 (it has a gas station but not a liquor store, at least not yet). The driveway on the north side of it was originally "Creagor Lane", a private driveway out to an oil pump, though this road has been defunct for several years.
Aggieland Credit Union / 4340 State Hwy. 6 South
Back on the side of Tower Point, this had been promised with "future" signage since 2012, and it eventually opened in June 2016. Aggieland Credit Union, 4344 Highway 6 South, and American Lube Center & Car Wash are all accessed through a driveway connected to Arrington—not to the highway.
4400 Highway 6 South
On the other side of the drainage pond and accessed through a different part of the shopping center sits this shopping center. This was built around 2017. Suite 100, Generator Superstore, is the only non-original tenant (it was originally Mattress One). FabricCare Cleaners (ste. 200) moved from the aforementioned Rock Prairie Crossing center, Smiles N' More Dental is suite 300, T-Mobile is suite 400. Domino's (suite 500, #9273) opened in May 2017, which functionally replaced an older location at Texas Avenue to better capitalize on the neighborhoods to the south.
IHOP / 4434 Texas State Highway 6
IHOP opened in April 2019. It did not replace the other location in Northgate.
McDonald's / 4440 Texas Highway 6
Originally, McDonald's was part of the Exxon across the freeway (opened 2002). In March 2012, it moved to this location.
Chick-fil-A / 4431 State Highway 6 S.
Jumping across the highway to "Spring Creek Village", a center anchored by Lowe's and a few restaurants and shops facing the freeway, this Chick-fil-A opened in spring 2012.
4461 Texas 6 South
This building opened with The Sleep Station and a carry-out CiCi's Pizza location (not a buffet). In the late 2010s CiCi's closed (no later than June 2018), but the signage remained up. Last Shot Xpresso opened in February 2021.
Whataburger / 4471 State Highway 6 South
Whataburger #1011 opened in spring 2011.
Lowe's/ 4451 Texas State Highway 6 South
Lowe's (located behind the aforementioned restaurants) opened in mid-2010 with its first College Station store since the mid-1980s and its second area store.
Discount Tire / 4470 Texas 6 South
Discount Tire is located at the southwest corner of Greens Prairie Road West and Highway 6 and opened in January 2015. Originally, Greens Prairie Road West went straight across under the freeway but the construction of William D. Fitch Parkway cut it off at what is now Arrington Road. Later construction continued Greens Prairie back to the freeway in the form of a narrow, winding road connecting different parking lots in Caprock Crossing.
Caliber Collision / 4480 Highway 6 South
This auto body shop has a Highway 6 address but is not directly accessible from the frontage road. It opened some time around 2018.
RV Station / 4520 Texas 6 South
This RV dealer originally opened in 2017 and has more than doubled in size since its opening.
HOMEFIELD College Station / 16345 Hwy. 6 S.
Rainbow Play Systems is a modular, proprietary playground manufacturer with independently owned showrooms, and while the College Station location is new (link), it brings back memories of passing similar establishments on road trips. I know I've seen the (now-closed) Baton Rouge location off of Airline Drive in my travels but I've also seen one of their distinctive playsets (which may have been an actual installation!) elsewhere along the route.
Extra Space Storage / 17333 Highway 6 South
Opening in 2007 as A&M Super Storage, this storage initially featured a "pack and mail" area in their office which later converted to a Penske truck rental area. Sometime in late 2015/early 2016, the facility expanded in the back and as of 2021, is now branded as Extra Space Storage (not to be confused with its more modern counterpart closer to Texas A&M University).
CubeSmart Self Storage / 17535 Highway 6 South
Formerly an underused industrial-zoned site (a small warehouse was on the premises), Brazos Moving & Storage opened here in 2015 (after major construction). In January 2017, it rebranded as a CubeSmart.
LifeLine Sanctuary / 17722 Highway 6 S.
This was built around 2011-2012 as Cornerstone Church. In February 2013, the church merged with LifeLine Sanctuary, which had been located at Galleria Village in Bryan, with the church taking LifeLine's name and leadership but Cornerstone's building and in 2019 construction began on a second, larger building while the first became auxiliary space.
17750 State Hwy. 6 South
This was once Living Earth, a soil/mulch yard with several Houston locations at its peak. This site opened in 2017, though it closed less than seven years later.
TXB / 17855 Highway 6 South
For nearly 25 years the Exxon at Greens Praire Road (later William D. Fitch) was the last gas station before the streak was broken with the opening of TXB in June 2025.
Santa's Wonderland / 18898 Hwy. 6 South
Opened in 1998 as a drive-through Christmas light display that charged by the car, today it's an elaborate seasonal amusement park that brings in cars backed up for miles on the frontage road. Speaking of which, back in 2005 (since around a decade prior) the frontage roads were two way on both sides (from Rock Prairie on), but terminated just south of Santa's Wonderland. To access it, you exited on the Texas World Speedway exit, and moved over to the southbound frontage road, getting out the same way. When the frontage roads were expanded and converted to one way later, an additional turnaround lane and overpass was built just south of Santa's Wonderland to avoid going all the way down to Peach Creek Road (and saving Peach Creek Road from needing turnaround lanes).
Museum of the American GI / 19124 Highway 6 South
Museum with a building and occasional WWI/WWII battle re-enactments. The new Millican Reserve neighborhood is just south of it. Hopefully the neighbors are okay with living next to a (simulated) war zone (sometimes).
Where Millican Meadows Circle connects is about where the pre-reconstruction frontage roads ended. The Peach Creek frontage roads were isolated from the other frontage roads until they were all rebuilt.
St. Nick's Green / 19191 Highway 6 South
From 1994 to 2018 this was University RV Park, and in 2018 they opened "St. Nick's Country Store" as part of their renovation into "St. Nick's Green", "A Tiny Cabin Village and R.V. Campground". In 2020, they closed for renovations...and as of 2026 is still closed. Hm.
TopDog Fireworks / 23510 Hwy. 6 S.
Opened around 2011 and relocating from up the highway, this fireworks warehouse is open seasonally.
STGenetics / 22575 State Highway 6
Known as "Sexing Technologies" until very recently (2022), this facility deals with cattle breeding (to put it as nicely as possible).
Veronica's Daiquiri Shop / 26000 State Highway 6 South
Back in 2016 we covered Veronica's Country Corner on the blog, but around that time, a new little daiquiri shop with the same owner and same piece of land (after it had been reduced by the highway, anyway) opened here.
Navasota Mirror & Glass / 27226 Highway 6 South
With the demise of 27230 Highway 6, this is now the last commercial business on Highway 6 South.
Check out FM 2154 and Highway 6 in Navasota, where Highway 6 continues south.
