Rooms To Go Coming to Baytown

A new Rooms To Go is headed to Baytown. The project was announced at the City Council meeting last Thursday [Sept. 11th]. The store will sit along Interstate 10 at the former Big Lots/Toys R Us site, turning a long-empty spot into fresh retail space.

The company plans to tear down and build new, putting up a 45,000-square-foot building. According to the announcement, Rooms To Go expects to invest up to $13 million in the project and will create and maintain at least 17 full-time jobs once the store opens.

City leaders said the deal is set up under a Chapter 380 economic development agreement. In simple terms, that allows the City to offer an incentive if the company meets its goals. Here, the incentive is a sales and use tax rebate that is performance-based and capped at $1 million total over 10 years. If the company doesn’t hit the job and investment targets, the rebate doesn’t get paid.

Supporters say the project brings life back to a visible spot on I-10, adds new jobs, and can help grow sales-tax revenue over time. The performance rules are meant to protect the City by tying the incentive to actual results rather than promises.
