Brainstorm Shelter filed a request for proposal to bring Second Rodeo Brewing to the 14,000-square-foot space at 17619 La Cantera Parkway. The site previously housed The Rustic, which vacated the premises in May 2024.
Why it matters
The proposal marks a potential expansion into the San Antonio market for the hospitality group, which currently operates a single location in Fort Worth. Operators in the retail and dining sectors should monitor new leasing activity at The Rim following the site's high-profile vacancy.
The proposed venue encompasses 14,000 square feet at The Rim. This space is currently available following the departure of the site's previous tenant, which operated at the location from 2017 through May 2024.
The players
Brainstorm Shelter
A hospitality group managing branded dining concepts including Second Rodeo Brewing.
Jason Boso
The founder of Second Rodeo Brewing who launched the concept in 2021.
The Rustic
A former tenant that occupied the 14,000-square-foot site from 2017 until May 2024.
The details
Brainstorm Shelter filed the request for proposal to secure the prominent retail site.

The company currently operates one Second Rodeo Brewing venue at the Mule Alley development in Fort Worth, which was established by founder Jason Boso in 2021.
Timeline
2017: The Rustic opened its location at The Rim.
2021: Jason Boso opened the first Second Rodeo Brewing.
May 2024: The Rustic closed its San Antonio location.
September 2026: Report published regarding the potential new tenant.
Market Landscape
This filing follows the closure of The Rustic at The Rim in May 2024, which left a significant vacancy in the shopping center. The move reflects Weitzman's targeted expansion strategy for the San Antonio retail market.
Operators in the hospitality and retail sectors should observe how the site's vacancy is filled to gauge shifting demand for large-format entertainment spaces at The Rim. While the filing indicates interest, local managers should note that multiple operational hurdles must be cleared before a new tenant occupies the space.
The takeaway
Large-scale hospitality concepts require significant site-specific due diligence, especially when backfilling spaces vacated by long-term anchor tenants. Monitor leasing disclosures from major developers to identify emerging competitive shifts in local submarkets.
