For the residents living across the interconnected subdivisions developed by Colony Ridge Communities, 2026 is shaping up to be a year defined by progress. New businesses are opening, major national brands are under construction, and essential services are on the way — collectively signaling a significant shift in the commercial landscape serving Liberty County's fastest-growing residential communities.
Jack in the Box Opens Its Doors
On February 24, 2025, Jack in the Box opened its newest location at 3070 County Rd 3549, Cleveland, TX 77327 — situated directly adjacent to the Colony Ridge sales office. The grand opening marked a notable moment for the community, representing yet another major national quick-service restaurant brands to establish a presence in the area. The location has quickly become a go-to for both Colony Ridge employees and local residents, offering the kind of everyday dining convenience that reflects the maturation of the surrounding communities.
National Brands Invest in the Community
The arrival of Jack in the Box is part of a broader wave of commercial investment taking shape across Colony Ridge's developments. Several additional national brands are currently under construction and expected to join the growing commercial corridor.
Little Caesars will bring an accessible, family-friendly dining option to residents who previously had to travel outside the community for similar conveniences. Church's Chicken is also under construction, adding another established quick-service option to the area's expanding retail landscape. And Sonic Drive-In, a beloved staple of Texas communities, is on its way — rounding out a corridor that is beginning to reflect the scale and needs of the thousands of residents Colony Ridge Communities has welcomed over the years.
The interest from national franchises is telling. Brands of this caliber often conduct extensive market research before committing to new locations.
A Pharmacy Comes to Santa Fe Plaza
Among the most anticipated additions is a new pharmacy coming soon to Santa Fe Plaza. Access to healthcare-adjacent services has long been a priority for Colony Ridge Communities. The arrival of a local pharmacy means residents will have convenient access to prescriptions, health products, and everyday essentials — a meaningful step toward the kind of complete community infrastructure that families depend on.
Looking Ahead
Colony Ridge Communities has described 2026 as a landmark year for commercial development — and the evidence supports that assessment. The businesses currently open and under construction represent more than added convenience. They reflect years of sustained residential development, community investment, and a clear vision for what these subdivisions are becoming.
Additional commercial announcements are forthcoming, and Colony Ridge Communities continues to pursue anchor retail and essential service providers that will further meet the needs of its growing resident base.
