The 1980’s kiosk formerly used to run MJ Motorcars out of the expansive parking lot of the Southwest Plaza Shopping Center, a reader notes, is now being turned into a drive-thru daiquiri shop. Houston has been slowly picking up on the tape-over-the-strawhole skirting of open container laws over the last few years; the new Prime Daiquiri location in front of 8150 Beechnut St. will provide an alternative for those with no time to hit up Club Tequila in one the retail center’s anchor spots (between noodle shop Tau Bay, the freshly opened Planet Fitness branch, and Harbor Freight Tools).
A site plan included in Investar Real Estate Services’s leasing flier for the property shows the to-go bar in place in the kiosk, as well as a few new pad sites drawn into place near by:

The flier also includes a rendered view showing all those new hats that have been landing on top of the 1967 shopping center:

That has to be the most “Houston” headline ever written.
Made from rum or wine? Also, it’s not “skirting” any law if you don’t open it.
Great, just what the neighborhood needs, more reasons for drunks to crash into the front of Sterling McCall Toyota like they already do two or three times a month with regularity.
