Welcome Back to Cypress Digest! Your Weekly Guide to Community News & Events in Cypress, TX.

I need a favor, neighbors…. We have over 3,100 subscribers now😳. But for those of you who’ve been here more than a week. I know very little about you (what you like, what you’re looking for). And that’s on me.

If you have 1.5 minutes, I created this survey, and it would help me so much to know you better and create a better experience.

Cheers!, Ashlyn 🌲💚

What’s New In Cypress 🌲

You’ve waited long enough —These were the Local Picks for ‘Best Live Music Spots’ in Cypress

Let this be proof, when you take my surveys— I listen. I have been meaning to write more of these, but after 60 of my new subscribers (this week) requested more about live music, I had to make some time.

Takeaways:

  • 5 places came up the most by local Facebook groups as ‘The Best’ for live music

  • The Hidden Cellar Wine Bar took the top spot (have you tried it?)

  • There were 13 local places that were found in the area to have frequent or weekly live music events.

Trader Joe’s is Near Completion. Some are thinking it will open sooner than expected…

The announcement of the new Cypress Trader Joe’s dropped earlier in July, and everyone is getting excited (including me). I have heard nothing but good things, but I have never been inside one. Well, for the $900,000 cost to build, I’m ready to see what all of the fuss is about. Opening day is set for December 1st, but with the construction seemingly done, this may be sooner.

Family-focused Updates:

  1. The CFISD Board of Trustees Election is coming up. Last day to register is Oct.6th [Get More Info Here.]

  2. FINS of Cypress + Adventure Kids has teamed up (they are right next to one another on Spring Cypress Road). The duo is offering a promo for free registration and $20 off. [See the offer here.]

  3. JBF NW Houston, the massive Children’s thrift sale is happening this week, Sept. 19-22. I love these, and they are only twice per year per location. You need a ticket, but they are very inexpensive (some days are free). [ Learn More Here.]

Reads From Tuesday:

A&M Released The September Texas Economic Outlook Report

The latest Texas Economic Outlook from Texas A&M highlights how broader trends could ripple into communities like Cypress. Here are three big-picture findings I thought were interesting:

  1. Texas Jobs Are Holding Strong 🏋️‍♂️
    While the U.S. job market is slowing, Texas is showing resilience. Most metro areas added jobs in July, with San Antonio and Brownsville leading. Houston’s growth (our region) was flat, but surveys show local businesses expect stronger hiring in the coming months.

  2. Fed Policy Shifting Toward Rate Cuts📈
    The Federal Reserve has signaled a pivot away from its stricter stance, aiming to cut rates as unemployment edges higher. This shift could gradually ease borrowing costs and give businesses and families in Cypress more breathing room, even if mortgage rates take longer to adjust.

  3. Energy Sector Drag, Services Drive Growth🧐
    Oil-related industries (mining/logging) continue to struggle, which affects many Houston-area workers. On the flip side, services, retail, and healthcare are driving Texas’ economic growth—sectors that directly benefit Cypress families and local businesses.

Cypress is Officially Getting Another Costco

Who called it? 🙋‍♀️🙋🏽 — Back in July, I might have made a tiny prediction based on the assumption that many know to be true. Whenever Costco does a parking lot expansion, typically another location isn’t far behind. Well, after they announced the expansion of the parking for the current Costco off of 290, I figured it was only a matter of time. What I wasn’t expecting was an announcement of the build to be made so soon. [Read my full release about the New Costco coming in 2026!]

And in case you’re wondering:

  • No, they have not announced the address yet, but many suspect it will sit near Elyson.

  • No, they have not confirmed (or denied) if this will have an adjoining liquor store like Katy and The Woodlands, but… I’ve got a hunch. 👀🙋🏽
