A Keller shopping center ownership group received approval to bring a 7 Brew Coffee to the property and remodel the building during the Oct. 20 Keller City Council meeting.

The breakdown: DuWest Realty applied for a specific use permit for a double drive-thru for the coffee shop at 901 Keller Parkway, which is part of a 12,000-square-foot, multi-tenant retail building that was also approved for remodeling by Keller officials.

The developer purchased a portion of land owned by Andy’s Frozen Custard, which is located at 951 Keller Parkway, to accommodate the drive-thru lanes, according to city documents.

The approval to remodel the shopping center, which is located at the intersection of Keller Parkway and Pate Orr Road, was requested because of the size and location. The shopping center was constructed in 1984, according to a council presentation.

OrbInSpire Games, the tabletop and trading card game store, relocated from north Fort Worth to a larger shop in Keller in October.

The details: The new location off Main Street is nearly triple the size of OrbInSpire’s Fort Worth shop, allowing more space for games and players, including larger games like One Piece.

The game store often hosts tournaments and events for games like Pokémon, Gundam and Magic. The new space will allow OrbInSpire to host multiple tournaments at once, owner Kat Hernandez said. 

She said there is also space for Warhammer events, organized hobbyist get-togethers featuring narrative game play, model creation and socializing.
