DTX-FRS: Impact 10/31/2025

Trader Joe’s is “considering plans for Frisco,” said Nakia Rohde, the company’s public relations manager.

Rohde said the company did not have an exact location or timeline for the possible location.

The details: The grocery store could be part of a proposed mixed-use development at the southwest corner of Main Street and Majestic Gardens Drive, said Travis Thompson, a representative for the landowner in an email to area homeowners associations.

🥖 A new cafe, bakery and market concept is set to open in Frisco's Hall Park.

The overview: Commissary, a concept from Headington Companies, is set to open next year in the mixed-use development. The cafe will be located in the ground-level retail space under Hall Park’s luxury apartment development The Monarch, according to an Oct. 29 news release.

What they offer: Commissary is a cafe, bakery, gelateria, espresso bar and neighborhood market and offers various bakery items, breakfast tacos, lattes and on-the-go lunches, the release stated. Its market offers beer and wine, gelato, frozen soups, breads and fresh-baked pastries. Commissary also offers catering options for breakfast and lunch meetings, according to the release.

Approximately 460,000 Texans have Alzheimer's disease, a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking and behavior. Advocates are encouraging Texas voters to approve State Proposition 14, a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow the state to spend $3 billion to launch the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.

The overview: Proposition 14 would allocate $3 billion in state dollars to fund the institute for the next 10 years. The institute would work with researchers and doctors to study the prevention and treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and dementia.

All funding for the institute would come from existing state revenue, donations and potential federal grants, meaning no new state taxes or fees would be created.

What they're saying: "If Proposition 14 passes, it really will establish Texas as an incredible leader in our country," neurological researcher Joshua Shulman said. 

At the polls: Early voting runs through Oct. 31, and Election Day is Nov. 4. For more information about the propositions and candidates on your local ballot, visit www.communityimpact.com/voter-guide.
