    The happiest place on earth

    What have we become? Thief attempts attack on frozen yogurt haven in the Heights

    Tyler Rudick

    Oh, hell no.

    A brave witness averted a fro-yo disaster early Friday morning after scaring away man who appeared to be breaking into the 19th Street location of Menchie's — the dessert chain known for its scarily-addictive frozen yogurt, cheery staff and a delightful array of cartoon mascots known as the Sweet Friends.

    KHOU Ch. 11 News reports that the unknown assailant was spotted throwing a rock through the shop's front door around 1 a.m. But as the man stepped through the broken glass, a person started yelling at him from across the street. The suspect quickly fled the scene.

    Police said they were unsure "what the man was going after by breaking into the yogurt shop."

    Police tell KHOU they weren't exactly sure "what the man was going after by breaking into the yogurt shop."

    For the time being, Menchie's fans are left scratching their heads, wondering why someone would attack what might be the happiest place on earth.

    Was it anti-dairy activism? A crime of passion? Or just mean-spirited vandalism?

    Employees at the Heights shop were unable to comment on the incident, but they did wish us all "a smiley day."

    Early Friday morning, a man broke through the front door of Menchie's Frozen Yogurt. His motives and whereabouts remain unknown.

    14 Walmart stores across Greater Houston to get complete makeovers

    Mega-retailer Walmart is executing a new round of store remodels at 72 locations across Texas — including 14 across the Houston area.

    It's part of an ongoing effort to modernize the in-store and digital shopping experience which includes upgrading layouts, technology, and services to offer faster, more convenient shopping and delivery in as little as an hour.

    Expanded services include free pharmacy delivery for Walmart+ members, including on GLP-1s, and an app which customers can use to navigate through the stores, book services at Walmart’s Auto Care Center, and more.

    Elevated brands and products will be added from the likes of De’Longhi, Oura, Jessica Simpson, and Lemme, with interactive displays that make it easier to picture how products will look in your home.

    Pharmacy departments will get big overhauls, with vision centers designed for improved privacy and convenience, offering brands like Nike, Calvin Klein, and DKNY, along with services like free cleanings and eyeglasses adjustments.

    Nationally, Walmart is planning remodels at more than 650 Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets this year — in parallel with a similar program it launched in 2025.

    "We’re proud to work and serve customers across Texas, and our continued investment reflects how deeply we believe in this state and its communities," said Walmart Southwest Business Unit Senior VP Elise Vasquez-Warner in a statement.

    The NUMBER Houston-area stores with proposed complete remodels in 2026 are:

    • Conroe (Lake), 18700 Highway 105 W
    • Cypress Walmart Neighborhood Market, 11425 Barker Cypress Rd
    • Houston Walmart Neighborhood Market, 9700 Hillcroft St
    • Houston (Almeda) Walmart Supercenter, 9598 Rowlett Rd
    • Houston (Smiling Wood) Walmart Supercenter, 13003 Tomball Pkwy
    • Houston (Westview) Walmart Supercenter, 10750 Westview Dr
    • Houston (WNW) Walmart Supercenter, 12353 FM 1960 Rd W
    • Houston (Yale/I-10) Walmart Supercenter, 111 Yale St
    • Kingwood (Houston) Walmart Neighborhood Market, 2165 Northpark Dr
    • La Marque Walmart Supercenter, 6410 Interstate 45
    • League City Walmart Neighborhood Market, 2625 W Main St
    • League City (Hwy 646) Walmart Supercenter, 1701 W FM 646 Rd
    • Pasadena Walmart Supercenter, 1107 Shaver St
    • Sugar Land Walmart Neighborhood Market, 13322 West Airport Blvd
    The remodel list also includes nine stores in Dallas-Fort Worth, six stores in San Antonio, and two in the Austin area.
