Make that three Trader Joe's (http://www.statesman.com/news/business/trader-joes-poised-to-open-north-austin-store/nXGBm/) stores.
And apparently Run Tex had five locations, not two. It's not clear to me whether they are all closed or not. The Austinist (http://austinist.com/2013/04/05/end_of_an_era_runtexs_riverside_loc.php) says, 'According to [local running group coach Mac] Allen, "the vacuum that RunTex left there as they were scaling down is getting filled. You've had Luke's come in. There's Rogue, Texas Running, Hill Country Running. They've been picking up the ball for a while." Local runner Robert Goyer highlighted Luke's Locker in particular: "RunTex just got out-marketed by the new kid in town, Luke's Locker, which proved a more agile and slicker company that spoke the language of the running community better and served their needs in a more compelling way. It's sad, because RunTex has done so much for runners in Austin for so long. I hope they can regain their footing."'
