The best just keeps getting better!

The Athletic Club and El Jimador are both happy to announce that El Jimador will be moving to 1205 FM 1431, which most recently housed Margaritas Bar & Grill.

The Athletic Club, 2312 U.S. 281 in Marble Falls, will be expanding into the 4,000 square ft. space previously occupied by El Jimador, adjacent to the fitness venue. This is in addition to the current 20,000 square ft. facility the club currently has.

The goal is to have the grand opening at the new location for El Jimador mid April. After the transition is complete, the Athletic Club will begin their renovations.

Fermin Ortiz said “The Athletic Club, which is the largest and most complete facility in our area, is about to get more parking, more equipment, and more space for our members. This includes 8 additional treadmills.

El Jimador, which is the best authentic Mexican food in town, is get- ting larger, more parking, an outdoor patio area, music area, and a playground for children. In business, that is a true win-win situation.”

The Athletic Club and El Jimador recently celebrated nine years together. Both facilities needed more parking, but none was available at the current site.

This new move will be smooth and cooperatively done with lots of love and supportive anticipation by both parties. Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive to both businesses for all these years. Please enjoy this new exciting adventure with us.
