‘Tis the season to be joyous. It’s hard to believe we have come to the end of another year and are into the hustle and bustle of the exciting Christmas season.  We have so much to be thankful for, including the many new businesses that have joined the already fine roster of Hurst businesses. 145 new businesses occupying 326,000 square feet have opened over the last 12 months. This brings the occupancy level of the total commercial square footage to nearly 95%.  This allows significant merchandise selection for those shoppers who often come from greater distances for their Christmas gift hunting. Many retailers do 35% to 40% of their annual volume in these final six weeks.

North East Mall has enhanced its Christmas presentation with four new businesses that have opened this quarter including Lily’s Taco Shop, Miniso, Draper Outfitters Shoe Store, and The Pet Stop. Construction has started on a new Foot Locker Super Store that will open after the first of the year.

Other new business examples include Tacusa Tacos-N-Pupusas, Crumble Cookies, Vive Society Fitness Center, Bishop Maserati, and Lifted Trucks.

Families are enjoying new opportunities to move to Hurst with new residential projects like Mission Town Square and, eventually the new Adkins Park. Mission Town Square has just completed construction and is leasing its 67 new David Weekly homes for rent next to Target. This innovative project allows considerable walkability convenience for groceries, pharmaceuticals, and numerous restaurants. Adkins Park has commenced the site work on their 30-acre new luxury home development that will eventually include 75 homes. The development is being built by Our Country Homes with price points of $800K to $1M.

Watch for announcements of the new businesses soon to come to Hurst, including Buffalo Wild Wings GO, David’s Hot Chicken, Hotworx, DFW Surgical Hospital, and Pop Shelf.  For more information on development and redevelopment opportunities in the City of Hurst, please visit https://www.hursttx.gov or contact Chris Connolly at 817-788-7025 or at cconnolly@hursttx.gov.
