Texas medical cannabis provider adds Arlington to budding list of Dallas-area pickup locations

The new pickup site in Arlington is the first to operate in the city.

North Texans are getting greater access to their medical cannabis prescriptions. Prominent statewide medical cannabis supplier Texas Original has opened its newest Dallas-Fort Worth location in Arlington, the first to operate in the city.

The new site is inside Organic Living at 801 East Abram St., Suite 203, Arlington. Pickups can be scheduled on Wednesdays between 11:30 am and 3 pm.

Texas Original CEO Nico Richardson says in a press release that his company's mission of changing Texans' lives through the use of medical cannabis is furthered by the addition of this fifth Dallas-Fort Worth location.

"We are focused on providing Texas with better, more convenient access to medical cannabis," says Richardson in the release. "Adding a pickup location in Arlington continues our work to expand access and bring medicine closer to hundreds of thousands of Dallas-Fort Worth residents seeking medical cannabis treatment."

Texas Original owns the largest distribution network in the state for medical cannabis, with four other locations throughout the Metroplex - in North Dallas, Frisco, Addison, and Fort Worth. According to their website, their hope is to change Texas' perspective on marijuana through "the power and the truth of medical cannabis."

"We work for physicians and their patients with current qualifying conditions to supply prescription cannabis that can change lives," the website says.

Conditions that are treated with medical cannabis include many neurodegenerative disorders, neuropathy, PTSD, and epilepsy. Texans with one of these conditions can get a prescription through their physician or an online clinic that is registered with the Compassionate Use Registry of Texas.

Texas Original also has a service to deliver prescriptions directly to patients. According to a press release, their drivers recorded over 830,000 miles in 2022 while delivering medical cannabis prescriptions to patients' homes around the state.

Mega-retailer Walmart is executing a new round of store remodels at 72 locations across Texas — including nine in Dallas-Fort Worth.

It's part of an ongoing effort to modernize the in-store and digital shopping experience which includes upgrading layouts, technology, and services to offer faster, more convenient shopping and delivery in as little as an hour.

Expanded services include free pharmacy delivery for Walmart+ members, including on GLP-1s, and an app which customers can use to navigate through the stores, book services at Walmart’s Auto Care Center, and more.

Elevated brands and products will be added from the likes of De’Longhi, Oura, Jessica Simpson, and Lemme, with interactive displays that make it easier to picture how products will look in your home.

Pharmacy departments will get big overhauls, with vision centers designed for improved privacy and convenience, offering brands like Nike, Calvin Klein, and DKNY, along with services like free cleanings and eyeglasses adjustments.

Nationally, Walmart is planning remodels at more than 650 Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets this year — in parallel with a similar program it launched in 2025.

"We’re proud to work and serve customers across Texas, and our continued investment reflects how deeply we believe in this state and its communities," said Walmart Southwest Business Unit Senior VP Elise Vasquez-Warner in a statement.

The nine Dallas-Fort Worth stores with proposed complete remodels in 2026 are:

Allen Walmart Neighborhood Market, 1520 E. Exchange Pkwy.
Denton (NW) Walmart Supercenter, 2750 W. University Dr.
Fort Worth Walmart Supercenter, 3851 Airport Freeway
Garland Walmart Supercenter, 555 W Interstate 30
Garland Walmart Neighborhood Market, 3959 Broadway Blvd.
McKinney Walmart Neighborhood Market, 3400 Virginia Pkwy.
Plano Walmart Supercenter, 8801 Ohio Dr.
Rockwall Walmart Supercenter, 782 E Interstate 30
Sachse Walmart Neighborhood Market, 6750 Murphy Rd.

The remodel list also includes six stores in Houston proper, six stores in San Antonio, and two in the Austin area.
