Where the two stores are Not to scale. The North MoPac store sits just west of MoPac, north of downtown, just north of RR 2222. Northbound and southbound MoPac traffic can take the RR 2222 exit to reach the store. There is a turn right after you exit, and the store has two entrances. Missed the turn? Loop around and come back: go down the MoPac frontage road past the store, around by Balcones Dr and back up to the entrances. The Downtown store is on West 2nd Street, just north of Lady Bird Lake, between MoPac and I-35.
