H Mart hasn’t opened yet, and people are already making the drive to Haltom City.

That’s the thing about H Mart Plaza at 3920 NE Loop 820 — the anchor is still months away, pushed to fall 2026 after supply chain delays on imported fixtures, but the restaurants around it have been opening on their own schedule. The plaza is fully leased, more than 40 tenants deep, and what’s taking shape out there is something Fort Worth hasn’t had before: a real Asian food corridor on the west side of the metroplex.

Shopping Made Simple at HEB

For decades, HEB was the grocery store Texans kept a shared secret about. If you grew up in Kerrville, Corpus, or San Antonio, you knew. If you lived in Dallas or Fort Worth, you had to settle for hearing about it from in-laws or picking up a cooler of butter tortillas on the way back from Austin. That era is over.

The San Antonio-based chain now has stores in Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Mansfield, Prosper, and Fort Worth, with more under construction in Rockwall, Irving, Murphy, Bedford, and Forney. Dallas County itself will not have a full H-E-B until the Irving store opens in late 2026, a detail that says a lot about how carefully the company picks its fights.

Central Market Is Finally Coming to Uptown Dallas. Maybe.

That corner of McKinney and Lemmon in Uptown has been a dead zone for almost a decade. The old Albertsons closed in 2016, and the building has sat dark ever since — a big, empty box in one of the most walkable, food-obsessed neighborhoods in Dallas. Central Market has held the property lease the entire time. Getting something built there has just taken a lot longer than anyone expected.

HEB to Build in Dallas Proper in 2026

Dallas shoppers can finally exhale: the long-awaited first H-E-B inside the Dallas city limits is officially happening. No more committing to a half-day pilgrimage to Plano or Frisco, and no more “quick stop” at Central Market that somehow turns into an overflowing cart because the bakery case was too persuasive.

Roy Pope Grocery: Fort Worth’s Elegant Revival of a Neighborhood Icon

In a city known for its stockyards and cowboy bravado, Roy Pope Grocery in Fort Worth stands as a quiet monument to local heritage and refined taste. On the genteel streets of Arlington Heights this neighborhood grocery has evolved far beyond its 1943 origins as a humble provisions store. Today, it operates as a hybrid—part market, part café, part coffee and wine bar—anchored by an ethos that respects its past while embracing the rhythms of modern food culture. Inside its burnished-brick facade, visitors are just as likely to run into longtime Westside residents on a morning espresso run as they are to find curious newcomers perusing the boutique wine wall.
