Argyle Town Council, the planning and zoning commission and the comprehensive plan advisory committee met Jan. 15 to discuss plans for future commercial development at the corner of FM 407 and US 377. 

No action was taken to move forward with a development plan, and discussions will continue to take place. 

What happened? Town Manager Mike Sims brought forward an idea for a potential Main Street to be added from Cook Street to Village Green Drive near the Waterbrook neighborhood. The street would wind through trees and include several commercial retail buildings on its path, including the future Argyle Marketplace, Branded Bowls and the town’s property, which will include a municipal building, new police building and potentially some retail businesses.

“We don’t have room for a big street,” Sims said. “That’s a two-lane road that can be closed off and used for pedestrians. It needs to have good sidewalks and good canopy tree cover.” 

Pennsylvania-based Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop has opened its first Texas location in Flower Mound’s Parker Square in late January.

What they offer: The store sells candy, chocolate, international snacks, toys, and over 350 types of glass-bottled sodas, according to its website. Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop also offers its $5 candy buffet, which allows customers to fit as much candy into a box for a fixed price, according to its website.

Also of note: The company has more than 20 locations across the United States, per its website.
