This is a tour of Humble Texas; a northeast Houston suburb of around 20,000 residents, but has a customer base of over 200,000 in the nearby communities. I have featured the largest most significant centers around the city, so some of the smaller centers did not make the cut.
We begin this tour from the Northeast corner of Humble. Toys R Us has been here since the early 1980's. This location was once very far away from the retail development in Humble, but the development has surrounded this store in the past seventeen years.
Deerbrook Marketplace; Best Buy, Office Max, Marshall's, Shoe Carnival, Sports Authority, Old Navy, Bed Bath, and Beyond, Petsmart, Kirklands, Pier One Imports, and Bel Furniture anchor this massive development. Former anchors Oshman Superstore, and a crafts anchor (Bel location).
Deerbrook Corner anchored by Ashley Furniture, Souper Salad, and Chili's. Formerly anchored by Finger Furniture and Sound Warehouse.
I do not know the name of this small shopping center, but Academy was once the anchor here. Academy will be moving into their third different Humble location soon.
