Historic Houston feed store moves from 1928 location to make room for new housing project
Show Less“I’m 62 years old, I’ll be 63 years old when we get to the new place. I’m thinking to myself, I’ve been doing this for almost 35 years, how am I going to pick up and begin a new career?” he said. “The bottom line on it was, I didn’t want to do anything else. I wanted to keep doing this.”
The original owner, J.C. Millis, owned it for 10 years before selling it to Albert Romund in 1938 – the same year that the city of Houston annexed the land on which Quality Feed stood. “It’s like going back in time in there, which is very rare,” Smith said. “Every time we lose a place like this, no one is going to be able to grow up and talk about it to their children.”
With organic food growing in popularity, Cousino said, more customers are interested in growing their own vegetables and fruit, or raising their own chickens to collect their eggs. They want to know exactly what goes into the food that they and their families eat, he said. Once they get there, Cousino doesn’t plan to own the store for much longer. Instead, he plans to sell it“When I started working here, I just needed a job,” Zavala said. “But I started, and I got really into it. It’s peaceful. All the customers know me, and I don’t even feel like I’m working.”
