HTeaO will open its first Presidio location Saturday, Sept. 12, bringing the Texas-based iced tea chain to the border city with a weekend of grand opening promotions.
The new store, at 316B Jose Rodriguez St., is owned and operated by Ismael, Florentina, Rosa and Ariel Lara in partnership with PresiTeaO LLC.
HTeaO said the Presidio location will offer more than 20 flavors of sweetened and unsweetened iced tea, along with coffee and water. Customers will be able to order inside the store or use its drive-thru.
“Opening the first HTeaO in Presidio is something I’ve looked forward to for a long time,” franchise owner Ariel Lara said. “Our community has such a strong sense of pride, and I’m excited to introduce a Texas-born brand that fits that spirit.”
The company said the Lara family sees the location as serving both Presidio residents and travelers passing through the city, including visitors headed toward Big Bend and people traveling between Presidio and neighboring Ojinaga, Chihuahua.

HTeaO specializes in iced tea and has expanded rapidly across the United States. The company reached 150 locations in July 2025 and also offers coffee and other beverages.
The Presidio opening marks the chain’s latest expansion in its home state and brings another Texas-born brand to one of the state’s most remote border communities.
