Some council members and residents—including De Juana "De J." Lozada, who is running for City Council in November—expressed concerns with the lack of a formal bidding process for the cafe space. “I support West Pecan and celebrate their success, but supporting one business should not mean excluding others from an opportunity created with public resources,” Lozada said. “The city says that West Pecan was identified as the ideal local partner. Through what process? Who else had the opportunity to be considered?”
