Bedford is an efficient “one stop shop” to discuss your perfect site! |
|
“Our Bedford location is one of the highest performers in the Dallas-Fort Worth market”, is something we hear quite often. Not surprising though, with the CITY OF BEDFORD being centrally located between Dallas and Fort Worth, and with roughly a quarter-million vehicles coursing through our community every day.

Bedford boasts some of the densest residential developments in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, at roughly 5,000 people/acre. So naturally, national retailers like Wal-Mart, Harley-Davidson, and Movie Tavern are thriving in Bedford. Top chain restaurants such as Texas Roadhouse, Saltgrass Steak House, Chili’s, Chipotle, Jersey Mike’s and Chick-fil-A are also popular in the Bedford marketplace. But success is not limited to national chains in Bedford, we also have a growing base of experiential businesses that include a craft brewery, a trampoline park and axe-throwing.
Bedford’s local buying power is not limited its residential community and high traffic counts: Bedford is also a major medical and healthcare hub employing thousands of skilled workers. Texas Health HEB Hospital alone sees around 100,000 patients a year and continues to expand their presence in Bedford.
In the past year, the city has taken bold steps to foster quality development and redevelopment in the community. The city purchased an 18.5-acre tract of land at the prominent FM157/Industrial Blvd and SH 183/Airport Fwy intersection. The city is currently in discussions with a master developer for this mixed-use project, while actively seeking potential tenants. Additionally, the city has partnered with Old Town Development, to bring another mixed-use concept to life, Bedford Commons. The 30-acre Commons will contain destination-driven restaurants, retail, office, entertainment, and townhomes, along with unique active space such as a farmer’s market and programmed community square. Opportunities are available in both projects.
With room to grow, Bedford is proud to offer an efficient “one stop shop” to discuss your perfect site. While at ICSC, call Andrea Roy 972-841-2814. After the conference call 817-952-2175, or e-mail andrea.roy@bedfordtx.gov.

In Glade Parks, new business openings include Jersey Mike’s, Lovesac, Salata, The Reserve, and SugaringNYC.

Glade Parks is not the only area in Euless experiencing continued growth and development. The new Chase Bank building on W. Euless Boulevard recently opened and construction of the remaining phases of that project are expected to begin later this summer. Salad and Go on E. Euless Boulevard is now open. It is the first of three new restaurants on E. Euless Boulevard to open. Construction continues adjacent to Salad and Go for Bojangles’ and Dutch Bros (pictured above). The Bojangles’ restaurant location in Euless will be the first Bojangles’ in Texas for this North Carolina-based quick serve restaurant chain. Site development work has begun at 121 W. Airport Freeway for a new inline retail building that will be partially occupied by a new Captain D’s restaurant. Renovation work continues on the building formerly occupied by Taco Bueno at 205 W. Airport Freeway. A tenant announcement is expected soon.
Toscana’s Bar and Italian Grill in the Bear Creek Plaza center on Harwood Road near SH 360 is now open. Interior finish outs continue for Dante’s Italian Eatery in the Harwood Crossing shopping center and four medical office tenants leasing space at the 65,000 square foot Mid-Cities location of MacArthur Medical Center on Westpark Court. A site plan for two new restaurants in the retail/commercial district of the Founder’s Parc mixed-use development on S. Industrial Boulevard was recently approved by City Council. Names of the two restaurants have yet to be made public. Finally, clearing and grading activities have begun at the Watercolor mixed-use development near SH 183 and SH 360.

|

|

85% of all retail sales occur in brick and mortar stores and Hurst is fortunate that many national and regional physical stores call Hurst their home. In the last four years over 1M square feet of new businesses have opened in Hurst, helping to create an attractive shopping environment for shoppers all across the region. Retail occupancy levels exceed national and regional averages while developers and retailers are still finding new opportunities. |
|
The City enjoys a centralized location between Dallas and Fort Worth as the recently expanded SH 121/183 brings over 230,000 cars per day through the center of the City. Twenty one new restaurants have opened in the last few years in this busy corridor and the recently opened Hawaiian Bros, Dixie House Café and Hattie Mae’s Texas Style BBQ will add further to the highway roster. Consumers extend their shopping stay if they can enjoy a good meal out as they shop to meet their retail needs. Numerous other new eateries are now offered in Hurst after openings this year including Salad n Go, Crumble Cookie’s, Black Rock Coffee Bar, Laughing Crab Seafood, Dutch Bros, Sbarro’s Itallian, Sushi Go, and Olivo’s Café and Tortilla Factory and others.
Simon Property Groups North East Mall continues to serve as the highlight of the Hurst retail community. Several new stores opened there this year that allows them to remain nearly 100% leased year round and Dillard’s, Macy’s, JC Penney, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Michael Kors, Pandora, James Avery Jewelry, White House Black Market, Cinemark 18 Theater, Bj’s Restaurant and Brewhouse and 140 other retail stores and eateries help keep this popular shopping destination vibrant. 10 million shoppers come from all across the region each year to shop this super regional mall and they enjoy the many other retail offerings as well. The state’s third largest mall helps keep Hurst as one of the Top 50 Cities in the State of Texas in retail sales per capita.
We welcome the opportunity to hear your story of growth and new development and look forward to sharing the many development and redevelopment opportunities in Hurst. While at ICSC, contact Steve Bowden at 817-470-8260, or in Hurst contact him at 817-788-7025, sbowden@hursttx.gov.
