New dessert shop opens at the Mall of Abilene
Another vacant suite in the Mall of Abilene has been filled. The Sweet Spot , a new drink and dessert cafe, celebrated its grand opening at its new mall storefront on Sunday. The Sweet Spot was founded by Christy Aguilar, who moved to Abilene last year from McAllen. "I bake at home, and my kids and my husband are like 'You should just open a business,' But I didn't open it right away," said Aguilar. "So what I did is I went to the Market at Buffalo Gap, and that's where I started" Aguilar has grown her business from just operating on Facebook and at local markets to opening her own storefront in the mall, and she plans to run it with the help of her two kids. "I'm looking forward to meeting new people and serving people different kinds of desserts throughout the week," said Aguilar.
