Tom Thumb and Kroger are building stores near downtown Dallas. Construction hasn’t begun on either project, but Kroger will be free-standing so it should open sooner than the new Tom Thumb, which will anchor a high-rise project.
Kroger purchased a block along the east side of Central Expressway near the Woodall Rodgers interchange. The store will be on Hall Street, diagonally across the highway from the Walmart supermarket. The company plans to build a 78,000-square-foot store. That’s larger than the store on Cedar Springs Road, closer in size to the store on Maple Avenue.
Kroger already has a store within a mile of that location at CityPlace.
And, of course, as in all Kroger stores, your guns are welcome.
Tom Thumb is opening a store in the area as well. The supermarket will anchor a new high-rise development at Cedar Springs Road and Akard Street. That’s a block from the Perot Museum and north of Woodall Rodgers, two blocks outside the Central Business District in — Uptown, Victory, or whatever they want to call it — on the city plat, that’s the edge of Oak Lawn.
This will be a gun-free store.
