HOUSTON - If you are a fan of Traveler's Cart, you only have a few more days to stop by the Montrose restaurant before it closes its doors for good.
The team behind Traveler's Cart officially announced that they will be closing their doors after Friday, July 31.
Traveler's Cart closing their doors
Traveler’s Cart, located at 1401 Montrose Boulevard, will serve its last meal on Friday, July 31. The globally inspired street food restaurant originally opened on October 23, 2024, as a spin-off of the award-winning Traveler's Table.
Guests are encouraged to visit one last time as the team prepares to say goodbye.
What they're saying:
Director of Operations, Ryan Browne, expressed gratitude to the community for their support:
"We’re incredibly thankful to everyone who has supported Traveler’s Cart. While saying goodbye is never easy, we’re choosing to celebrate everything this restaurant has meant to our team and our guests. We hope the community will join us for one last meal before continuing the journey with us at Traveler’s Table."
What's next:
The restaurant's flavors and cuisine will continue at its sister restaurant, Traveler’s Table, which remains open. Guests looking for multi-cultural cuisine can head there to try their new menu, around-the-world brunch, and check out their upcoming Houston Restaurant Weeks dinner menu.
As the Montrose location prepares to shut down, leadership is working to help staff members transition into new roles. While some employees are transferring to Traveler's Table, others are looking for their next opportunity.
Local restaurant owners looking to hire available staff are asked to reach out directly to Browne via email at ryan@travelerstable.com.
Closing months after death of owners
The backstory:
The closing of Traveler's Cart comes months after the death of owners Matthew and Thy Mitchell.
In May, the couple and their two children were found shot dead in their River Oaks home in a murder-suicide.
The shooting was reported around 5:30 p.m. on May 4 at the family’s home on Kingston Street, near Avalon Place.
According to the medical examiner’s office, Matthew Mitchell’s death was ruled a suicide. The deaths of 39-year-old Thy Mitchell, 8-year-old Maya Mitchell and 4-year-old Maxwell Mitchell were ruled homicides.
The cause of death for all four family members was a gunshot wound to the head, according to the medical examiner's office.
Matthew and Thy were the owners of Montrose restaurants Traveler’s Table and Traveler’s Cart.
