| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize Quality Seafood Market in Austin on the occasion of its | ||
| 75th anniversary; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Quality Seafood Market began operation in 1938 | ||
| when Garnett Lenz opened a fish counter inside John Starr's Fruit | ||
| and Vegetable Market in downtown Austin; the thriving business | ||
| soon outgrew its home in the corner of the vegetable market and | ||
| moved to a series of locations across the city; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Quality Seafood Market moved into its current | ||
| location on Airport Boulevard in 1970; it had by that time | ||
| expanded to include three separate facets, the original retail | ||
| market, a fry kitchen preparing to-go orders, and a wholesale | ||
| operation that served local restaurants; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the years, the business has continued to | ||
| grow, and today it features a full-service restaurant in addition | ||
| to its other offerings; a recent expansion doubled the size of | ||
| the business, increasing its ability to offer a wider variety of | ||
| dishes to its customers while maintaining the quirky design | ||
| elements that have made it a local landmark; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Quality Seafood Market has been a favorite of | ||
| Austinites for generations, and it is truly fitting that it be | ||
| recognized as it achieves this milestone in its history; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, | ||
| 83rd Legislature, hereby commend Quality Seafood Market on its | ||
| legacy of providing excellent value and service and extend best | ||
| wishes for a memorable 75th anniversary celebration; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| this exemplary establishment as an expression of esteem from the | ||
| Texas Senate. | ||
| Watson | ||
