SAN ANTONIO \u2013 An Alamo City restaurant that fed families for over a century is under demolition.<\/p>\n
The Pig Stand<\/a>, located at 1508 Broadway Street, was gutted on Tuesday morning by heavy-duty demolition excavators due to hotel construction plans on the site. <\/p>\n GrayStreet Partners, a real estate firm based in San Antonio, purchased the 104-year-old building in 2023 to flip the property into a \u201c211-key hotel,\u201d San Antonio Business Journal (SABJ) reported<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n However, the firm has been waiting for a while to knock down the building due to failed rent payments.<\/p>\n The real estate firm sued Mary Ann Hill, the former owner and operator of Pig Stand, claiming that she owed them $17,100 in unpaid rent.<\/p>\n The Pig Stand owners lost the lawsuit and were ordered by a judge to pay GrayStreet Partners just under $14,000, SABJ reported in October 2025.<\/p>\n The Pig Stand told KSAT in 2023 that hundreds of people lined up<\/a> to get one last bite at the diner. Staff members had to lock the door to keep people from pouring in.<\/p>\n \u201cNever did I dream that this many people would be here to say goodbye,\u201d Hill told KSAT in 2023.<\/p>\n
