Colleyville’s Christmas gift card program is in full swing for the 2025 holiday season.

The first round of $35 gift cards were delivered to residents’s homes Nov. 12, said Chelsea Rose, Colleyville’s community engagement and economic development director.

What’s happening? Residents will receive a second $35 gift card in their mailbox Dec. 12, Rose said. The gift card can be presented at participating Colleyville businesses for payment. The businesses will then receive reimbursement from the city at the end of the program for every gift card used at their shop, per Colleyville’s website.

What else? Colleyville residents can receive additional $35 gift cards by participating in the city’s business bingo game. Those who wish to play can pick up a bingo card at the Colleyville Center at 5301 Riverwalk Drive through Jan. 9, according to the city's website.

Grocery store development continues to surge in 2025 as grocery chains follow population growth in the North Texas area.

In a nutshell: H-E-B, Kroger and Tom Thumb accounted for nearly half of all new retail construction in 2024, according to a retail report from Texas-based real estate firm Weitzman. The same report projected those retailers to continue driving much of the new retail construction in 2025.

David Palmer, executive vice president of development for Weitzman, said company officials are optimistic about continued grocery store growth in North Texas.

“Grocer-anchored retail shopping centers are some of the most valuable retail real estate in the market when it's done because of the stability,” Palmer said. “It’s the bedrock of the growth of retail in DFW.”

Zooming out: John Votava, corporate affairs director for Kroger, said Kroger officials consider growth when determining sites for new stores. Kroger wants to meet demand for grocery services in growing neighborhoods.

“We’re just following the rooftops—where you see communities springing up out of the dirt,” he said.
