Tomo Mags' Iconic Blue Bus Just Got a Brick-and-Mortar Home Downtown

Tomo Mags, the roaming magazine shop famous for its signature blue bus, has officially opened a permanent downtown location at 411 Brazos St., Suite 101.

The shop is the latest chapter in a decade-long print obsession started by founder Vico Puentes, who originally launched Tomo in Houston out of a restored school bus, popping up at galleries, universities, and coffee shops before evolving into physical spaces and collaborations. Now, Austin gets the best of both worlds: a permanent "browse and linger" home base and the bus continuing to make stops around town.

Their new brick-and-mortar location is proof that there is growing demand for businesses that design for how people actually like to spend time in person. No passion is too niche for Austin.
