Retail Center, Homes At Mueller Site
If you drive on Interstate 35 in Austin, you may have seen the old Mueller airport site is turning into a big retail center, and very soon, you'll see homes going up. Only on Firstcast, KXAN went onto the site where the public is not yet allowed to give you a first look. On Saturday, Bed, Bath & Beyond opened its doors. And very soon, many more stores like Best Buy, Marshalls and Chair King will open up. But this is a very small section to the entire redevelopment of Mueller airport. And it is truly amazing watching the old airport turn into a community. "The planning for this project and the neighborhood involvement, which is so fundamental to it, literally started 20 years ago," Matt Whelan, senior vice president of Catellus Development Group, said.

National retailer opens store in Auburn
AUBURN - The area's newest national retail store is open, offering a selection of specialty housewares to entice shoppers.
Bed Bath & Beyond, the giant housewares retailer, quietly opened its fifth Maine location in the Auburn Plaza off Center Street last week. The 20,000-square-foot store occupies a portion of the space once filled by Service Merchandise.
Adam Ackerly, regional representative for the New York-based chain, said Bed Bath & Beyond decided to open a store in Auburn because of the number of local shoppers traveling to the retailer's locations in Augusta and Portland.
"We see this as an opportunity," said Ackerly. The store planned to hire about 25 employees.
It carries an extensive inventory of housewares and gifts, including bed linens, bath accessories, window treatments, kitchen linens, as well as cookware, dinnerware, glassware, lifestyle accessories, closet and storage items, and juvenile items.
