Introducing CHRISTUS Children’s.
Same amazing care. Brand new name. The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio is now CHRISTUS Children’s. Why? Because we’re the first and only San Antonio hospital built just for kids and expectant moms, but we’re so much more than a hospital. Our care extends far past the city limits and we are part of a world-class healthcare network. Our new name better represents who we are and the purpose we pursue every day. Same hope. Same healing. New name. Welcome to CHRISTUS Children’s. CHRISTUSchildrens.org
Lane, Age 3 Cancer Survivor

Theory Coffee
- BUSINESS PROFILE -
Theory Coffee finds success connecting with people through coffee and a smile By Bruce X. Forey | Photography by Al Rendon
What was once an abandoned gas station is now something of a cultural gathering spot in 78209. It started almost a decade ago with a Theory, if you will, that ended up bringing people from different socio-economic backgrounds together for coffee, conversation, and kindness.
“It was kind of like our Pinocchio in that we became a real coffee shop. That was our dream, just to be like a real shop,” said Mark. “Now we can establish roots, dig in a little bit, give it more character, express what we want as a space for customers.”
“People just want to have someone to greet them in a nice way in the morning and be a part of something; be a part of a conversation,” said Mark Vollmer, owner of Theory Coffee. “I think when you can provide a nice cup of coffee, along with that feeling of acceptance from people of all backgrounds, they want to come back.”
The result is a model food park with contemporary design features, more seating, landscaping, and space for an additional food trailer.
You’ll find Theory at the busy intersection of Loop 410 and Nacogdoches Rd. It serves straight up coffee and related concoctions from a customized 16’ x 8’ trailer. It’s been a long road since he first opened his business on Groundhog’s Day, February 2, 2015. Mark’s alarm would sound around 3:30 am for the daily drive to set up and serve that first cup of Joe by 6:00 am. After closing at 2:00 pm, he had to repeat the process and do final paperwork before calling it a day. “The long hours and six days a week of hauling and serving was beginning to take a toll,” said Mark. “When I started, I gave myself a five-year plan, and it was time to evaluate. I knew I wanted some sort of permanence.”
With more time available, Mark began exploring other opportunities. He’s now open seven days a week - adding Sundays back in August 2023. He also converted a Honda Micro van for a Theory-branded mobile espresso cart for offsite events. Mark and family are now official ‘09ers. They recently purchased a home in Northwood area, just a 10-minute walk from the coffee stand. “Living next to the shop has been awesome and really plugs us into the community,” said Mark. “When we shop or grab a bite to eat in the neighborhood, we always run into a handful of customers. It’s been a great experience interacting with them.” Theory is a unique name for a coffee shop, and so is the way the term came about.
Constructing a building on site wasn’t feasible. He explored converting a shipping container, but that didn’t work out. Mark realized all he needed was his coffee trailer, but he just needed to park it permanently.
“Every single name we thought of was taken,” Mark said. “My wife was teaching a color theory class and asked what I thought about “theory.” She was surprised I liked it. It has nothing to do with coffee and is opened ended. I mean, coffee theory, but what is that?”
Once in place, this solved many problems, but the high-vis location had potential, and he wanted to do more. He revived architectural renderings made for the spot and presented them to the landlord, who gave the go ahead. Mark invested his own financial resources into the upgrade along with a lot of sweat equity. Working through part of the pandemic, construction started in September 2021. Theory held its grand reopening in May 2022.
According to Britannica, theory is an idea, or set of ideas, intended to explain facts or events. Whether intended or not, Mark Vollmer put in place a theory, through Theory. A friendly gathering spot can draw people from diverse backgrounds to share in a good cup of coffee and relax for a bit before they go about their day. Theory proven.

Carlos Platero
- MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS -
Carlos Platero L.A. transplant makes his mark in Alamo Heights with design talent and a passion for customer care. By Bruce X. Forey | Photography by Elizabeth Greco
Alamo Heights like Los Angeles? That’s how one 78209 neighbor thinks of these two iconic cities. West L.A. native Carlos Platero moved to Alamo Heights in 2018 to establish an interior design business. Los Angeles may not be the top of mind for quiet, but for Carlos, there are similarities. “Los Angeles proper is actually a very quiet town; crowded but quiet,” Carlos said. “After a busy week, I prefer the tranquility of Alamo Heights, compared to the grown chaos of the surrounding suburbs in San Antonio. I could practically lay out on the street, which is a comforting thought, knowing how busy commerce was throughout the week. It’s that type of weekend sleeping city vibe that reminds me of L.A., or as I like to think about City of Angels.” Carlos also gravitated to Alamo Heights for its central location, friendly people, and charming homes. He found a residence that reminded him of vintage Los Angeles. He remembers being interviewed by the owner before purchasing it. “I thought this is interesting, is this the way all Texans sell their homes?” Carlos added. “But the home had so much character. She was hoping to find someone who would appreciate what it offers and not tear it down.” Carlos assured the owner he was excited to restore the property while giving it a new look. He chose a contemporary antique approach. After a divorce, Carlos bought a second home in Alamo Heights, but the restoration of his first residence got the attention of the former homeowner. Word spread among 78209 on his design talents, and his San Antonio business grew. In Alamo Heights, he also serves on the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission Board. Carlos attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles. He was also taught Psychology of Color & Material at FIDM and is a member of the American Society of Interior Design. At a young age, he moved to Asheville, North Carolina, where he bought a ranch-style home. He lived there for a couple of years before moving to Austin and then relocating to San
Antonio. But the Blue Ridge mountains of Asheville still reside as his third home. Clients who worked with Carlos discovered another attribute – an enthusiasm for exacting details centered on his strong desire to please the customer. The Platero eye for style and detail was refined during his time in Austin. Early clients had already paid for design work by other firms but didn’t meet expectations. They asked Carlos to review and redo the designs. They were very pleased with his work. “I tell my team; our clients tell us what they want. They often don’t realize it, but they are telling us what they want,” Carlos said. “You have to learn how to listen, and I’m really good at that.” Carlos’s rich and famous clientele began asking him to maintain their properties year-round. This led to him founding Platero Service. This niche business provides professional cleaning, property management, and event supervision for owners of luxury estates, high-end rentals, and commercial properties. Confidence in Carlos leads to interesting one-off assignments. He’s been commissioned for interior design work on commercial properties, custom furniture pieces, and even managing weddings. Carlos’s maintenance service will continue to keep him busy in the Austin area, but Alamo Heights is home. He’s in the process of combining his interior design and maintenance business into a one-brand operation. Platero, as it’s now called, is at 5711 Broadway. He’s bringing 40 employees together under one location, ensuring office and field workers are united in the Platero culture of superior customer service. “We found our niche, and it’s serving the clients that appreciate what we do. The attention to detail, the hold my hand and walked me through it type of service.” With family in Los Angeles, a ranch in Asheville, and an Austin residence, Carlos could live elsewhere, but Alamo Heights has everything he needs to call home.
