Awning & Screen Dealer Opening: Hood County

Hood County is the lake-and-square economy of North Central Texas: Granbury’s nationally famous courthouse square, Lake Granbury’s clean-water waterfront, and a retiree and second-home market that keeps arriving from across the Metroplex. With a 2026 population near 71,700, up 15.5% since the 2020 Census, this is one of the fastest-growing premium lifestyle markets in the state, and shade is the product the lifestyle runs on.

The Historic Granbury Square is the brand anchor: the first Texas courthouse square listed on the National Register of Historic Places, watched over by the 1890 limestone Hood County Courthouse with its three-story clock tower. Around it sit the restored 1886 Granbury Opera House, forty-plus boutiques in period buildings, and a year-round festival calendar, from the General’s birthday outhouse races to the Christmas parade of lights. A town that curates its streetscape this carefully buys shade that respects the architecture.

Lake Granbury is the money. Formed by the DeCordova Bend Dam on the Brazos River, the lake ranks among the cleanest in Texas and rings itself with waterfront estates, retiree compounds, and second homes, buyers who chose Granbury specifically for outdoor living on the water. Western glare bounces off the surface all afternoon, insects own the summer evenings, and the buyers have both the budget and the motivation to fix it properly with motorized screens and cassette awnings.

The exurb corridor is the volume engine. US-377 runs the county like a spine, carrying Fort Worth commuters into new subdivisions and acreage communities from Acton, where Davy Crockett’s widow Elizabeth is buried, down through the Granbury outskirts. The Brazos Drive-In, running continuously since 1952 as the state’s longest-operating drive-in theater, tells you everything about this county: people here invest in experiences, and the backyard is the biggest experience of all.
