A change in gas station branding will lead to the construction of a new Whataburger and Starbucks at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

The DFW Mart North at 2900 N. Airfield Drive and the DFW Mart South at 2344 Rental Car Drive will become 7-Eleven stores.

What’s happening: As part of the rebranding, there will be changes at both locations.

At the DFW Mart North, the car wash will be removed, the 18-wheeler parking lot will be repaved and a freestanding Starbucks will be constructed.

A 20-year lease with DFW Lucky 7, LLC for a standalone Whataburger at the Southgate Plaza area of DFW Airport was approved, starting on Jan. 1, 2027.

'A bipartisan government': Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa announces next steps for political transition

At her first public event since winning the Nov. 3 election, Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa announced her initial plans for the transition between gubernatorial administrations, emphasizing her plans to work across the aisle in "building a government that is working for the people of Texas."

The overview: Hinojosa also announced the team leading her transition to the governor's office:

  • Joe Madden, former chief of staff for Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo

  • Former GOP state Rep. Ernest Bailes

  • Ryan Pollock, executive director of the Texas State Building and Construction Trades Council

  • Tamala Barksdale, a former Austin ISD trustee

Quote of note: "This is not about being a Democratic administration," she said. "I'm not going to be the governor for just Democrats—I'm going to be the governor for all the people of Texas."

One more thing: Hinojosa said Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, whom she unseated in the Nov. 3 election, had been "gracious" and expressed that his office would "fully cooperate with this transition and be helpful as they can."
