Arlington native Blake Mycoskie is slipping his comfy TOMS straight on...into the Austin market. Next week, the shoe-ntrepreuer will debut the company's second stand-alone store in the country, in a tiny little house along South Congress Avenue, according to the Austin Business Journal. The 2,400-square-foot space is said to include a cafe, and public space for music and community gatherings.

In other TOMS news, Mycoskie will be a presenter on the main stage at SXSW, after which he will also announce a new product for the company.
