Plano City Council approved a new economic incentive for the truck and trailer part company, FleetPride, at a meeting Oct. 26.

The gist: FleetPride will invest $2 million in property improvements to an office space at Granite Park 3 for a $400,000 economic incentive, according to city documents. The company sells truck and trailer parts at distribution and service centers throughout the U.S. and Canada, according to its website.

The background: The corporate office for FleetPride is currently located in Irving, Texas. The company merged with the heavy-duty distributor company, TruckPro, in 2025 according to a news release. The company is expected to relocate to Plano before the end of 2027.

Nearly three years after opening in Plano, Firebirds Wood Fired Grill has closed.

What else: While the Plano location is closed, Firebirds continues to operate two other restaurants in Grapevine and the Alliance area of Fort Worth. The spokesperson said guests with gift cards are eligible to use them at any location.
