About
Main Street Crossing was founded by Rick Davis and his wife Terri. The music venue opened in 2004. Their son Matt Davis, who is also a songwriter, is the general manager.
Main Street Crossing is located inside a building built in 2004. It was designed like an early 20th century two-story grocery store that was on the property. The building has high ceilings, a brick exterior, a balcony and a 10-foot illuminated marquee that displays upcoming events. There is a plaque on an outside wall of the building commemorating the store. The building has a 180-person capacity. It is listed as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization.
The music venue is also a full service restaurant. In November 2014, Main Street Crossing was featured in the Houston Chronicle regarding the repeal of a 70-year liquor ban in Old Town Tomball. The removal of the ban helps local business culture within the town.
Main Street Crossing was founded as a community center for spiritual and charitable activities. It is a meeting place for three local Tomball churches: The Journey, Well Spring, and Sondays. The church services are informal and patrons are able to buy beer and wine from the venue.
