DOLLAR TREE SET TO OPEN THIS MORNING

When Dollar Tree shut down last year and was replaced by Taylor’s Ace Hardware, I honestly didn’t expect the blowback. I failed to realize
 people LOVE Dollar Tree.

So when I reported Dollar Tree was reopening in the Live Oak Shopping Center off North Main, it was NOT a surprise that it was one of the biggest stories of the year.

Well, the wait is over. Today is the day. Dollar Tree is set to open at 9 AM, as confirmed by a super official hand written note taped to the door. đŸ€Ł So
 will I see you there?

Hidden Gem Alert 💎

NO LONG LINES AT THIS LOCALLY-OWNED AND OPERATED PHARMACY

Rock Pharmacy is everything you'd want in a hometown pharmacy — friendly faces, fast service, and a pharmacist who actually knows your name. Owned and operated by Dr. Peter Oraekwe, Rock Pharmacy is rooted in strong faith, family values, and a passion for people.

And this is not an ad - our family uses Rock, so we can personally recommend!

Peter moved to the U.S. from Nigeria, worked his way through pharmacy school, and went on to manage pharmacies for major chains before starting Rock Pharmacy to offer something different — a place where patients are treated like family.

He’s been known to deliver prescriptions himself to make sure his patients are taken care of. And at Rock Pharmacy, you won’t find long lines or rushed interactions — just honest, personalized service from someone who truly cares.

📍 1201 S Main Street, Boerne
📞 Call 830-357-5052
🕘 Open Mon–Fri, 9 am to 6 pm

Swing by and meet Peter — he’d love to get to know you.

WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY?

THE BOERNE BUZZ

New Auto Shop in Boerne with Great Service*

Finding the right person to work on your car can be difficult. That’s why we’re excited to tell you about ULTRACARS Motor Sports, a new shop here in Boerne. I can personally attest to their service and expertise, as they’ve done extensive work on my Honda, which I’m getting all primed to pass on to my daughter.

The customer service is second-to-none. Before starting the work, they took me in and walked me through everything to ensure I understood exactly what needed to be done. They even showed me a mistake a previous mechanic made!

Located at 136 Industrial Dr C, they’re tucked back behind the former KCA Services building. Visit them on the web here.

Black Board BBQ in Texas Monthly

Have you been out to Black Board Bar B Q in Sisterdale yet? Last week, I posted a picture of their massive brisket burger from Thursday Burger and Live Music Night (that’s tonight - highly recommend!).

This week they’re raising eyebrows because they were just given Honorable Mention in the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ list! It’s a huge honor to be named among the top BBQ joints in a state full of great BBQ. So if you haven’t made it out
 well, what are you waiting for?!

WEATHER FORECAST 

Powered by Hammer Next Level Excavation

More rain is in the forecast — and while most of us are just grateful for it, our partners at Hammer Next Level Excavation see something more: opportunity. A single inch of rain on a 1,000 sq ft roof can yield 600 gallons of water. That adds up fast — and with the right setup, you can save all that water for future use.

Hammer is a family-run, firefighter-owned Boerne business specializing in rainwater capture systems, storage tanks, trenching, and more. Plus, the City of Boerne offers a $150 rebate for installing a system. Ready to catch the rain? 📞 Call 210-846-4135 or visit hnlexcavation.com

Thursday: High: 85Âș | Low: 66Âș | 25% chance of precipitation

Friday: High: 80Âș | Low: 65Âș | 40% chance of precipitation

Burn Ban: Off

Water Restrictions: Stage 2

JUST FOR LAUGHS

This really is the sort of picture we pray to catch around town. 😆 But it wasn’t ours - thanks to our friend Laurie Brooks at Evoke Realty for sending it in! 📾

MARK YOUR CALENDAR

Here are a few upcoming events you won’t want to miss!

Thanks!

Thanks for reading The Boerne Life today.

Until next time,

— Chris
