Tomlinson’s Feed is Coming to Pflugerville
Austin’s favorite family-owned pet store, Tomlinson’s Feed, is expanding its Central Texas footprint with a brand-new location in Pflugerville. This highly anticipated storefront brings premium, healthy pet food and locally sourced supplies closer to residents in the rapidly growing northeast metro area. Local pet parents will soon have a convenient, neighborhood-oriented hub for all of their animal wellness and nutrition needs.
An Austin-Local Tradition Expands
Since opening its first storefront in 1946, Tomlinson’s Feed has grown alongside the Austin area, earning a reputation as the region’s go-to source for natural pet nutrition. By expanding into Pflugerville, the company addresses a major gap for local pet owners who previously had to commute down Interstate 35 or along Toll 130 to access the retailer’s curated product lineup. This expansion underscores the growing demand for premium pet care in the suburbs surrounding Austin.
What to Expect at the Pflugerville Store
The new Pflugerville location will offer the same high-standard shopping experience that Austin pet owners have trusted for decades. Visitors can expect clean, pet-friendly aisles stocked with biologically appropriate foods, healthy treats, durable toys, and specialized wellness supplements. Beyond the product shelves, the store’s primary asset is its staff, who undergo rigorous training to assist pet owners with dietary recommendations, allergy solutions, and life-stage-specific nutrition planning.
Premium Nutrition and Local Support
Unlike massive corporate pet retailers, Tomlinson’s focuses strictly on brands that use wholesome, traceable ingredients free from cheap fillers and artificial preservatives. The shelves will feature prominent natural brands like Fromm, Orijen, Acana, and Stella & Chewy’s. Additionally, the store will actively support the local rescue community by hosting regular adoption events and participating in the annual Holiday Pet Food Drive to benefit the Pflugerville Animal Shelter.

Implications for Travis County Pet Owners
The arrival of Tomlinson’s Feed in Pflugerville reflects a broader trend of Austin-centric businesses moving into surrounding suburbs to meet the demands of relocating families. As residential developments expand in areas like Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk, the need for specialized local services increases. Having a premium pet retailer close to home saves residents valuable travel time on congested local thoroughfares such as FM 685 and Highway 45, keeping tax dollars within the Pflugerville municipal economy.
Grand Opening: What to Watch Next
As construction wraps up and the interior build-out nears completion, watch for announcements regarding the official soft opening dates. Grand opening weekend events typically feature exclusive in-store promotions, free samples of premium dog and cat food, and opportunities to meet with representatives from top pet food brands. Local pet owners should also keep an eye out for special adoptable pet showcases hosted in partnership with local rescue organizations during the inaugural weekend.
