A 2.2-mile stretch along SH 114 in and around Southlake will transform vacant land into developments with major tenant anchors as soon as this winter.

Two retail developments, one with an anchor tenant being a grocery store and the other a steakhouse, are coming to Southlake. Trophy Club has started the process of adding business and gathering space near its town hall, further boosting visibility and visitors along a portion of SH 114 in Tarrant County.

”We’re getting some of the spaces on [SH] 114 filled,” said Daniel Cortez, Southlake director of economic development and tourism. “That signals northeast Tarrant County is still growing.”

What's happening: The three different projects are slated to include new shopping, dining and other activities on 46 acres in Southlake and 7.4 acres in Trophy Club.

The largest development is Shivers Farm, a 40-acre mixed-use development at SH 114 and North White Chapel Boulevard.

Also of note: Restaurateur Tim McEneny is bringing Dakota’s Steakhouse to Tarrant County.

Nebraska-based Omaha Steaks plans to open a store in Grapevine.

What they offer: The store will sell the company’s flash-frozen foods, including individually portioned steaks, chicken, seafood, burgers and pork. Customers can also purchase a selection of appetizers, sides and desserts.

The Grapevine store will allow customers to purchase items in store, through curbside pickup, and either same-day or next-day delivery. Omaha Steaks already has a strong direct-to-consumer customer base in the area and the Grapevine location will help the company provide better local access to its products, said Kathleen Al-Marhoon, Omaha Steaks’ director of public relations and corporate communications.

Quote of note: “As we grow our store network and expand our fulfillment capabilities, we’re creating a faster, more convenient way for customers to access our premium proteins,” said Nate Rempe, president & CEO of Omaha Steaks, in an email.
