    Downtown Grocery News

    Downtown Dallas gets new grocery store and more in old Urban Market

    Teresa Gubbins
    May 3, 2013 | 5:15 am

    The persistent longing for a downtown Dallas grocery store is about to be satisfied again. A three-pronged concept is coming to the old Urban Market space in the Interurban Building on Jackson Street, with phase one set to open this month.

    A liquor store called Urban Vineyard will start selling beer and wine in a couple of weeks, followed this summer by a grocery called Urban Orchard and a cafe called Bar None.

    The complex comes from three friends and entrepreneurs who've known each other since middle school, says co-owner John McIntosh, who will oversee the cafe. His partners are Umair Humeed, who conceived the project, and Loc Tran, who will manage the liquor store.

    "Our main goal is to provide everything that a resident would need downtown," McIntosh says.

    The market will sell organic and natural foods and will incorporate a deli, bakery and frozen-yogurt stand. The restaurant will be eclectic, with tacos, sushi, sandwiches and hot foods.

     

      "Our main goal is to provide everything that a resident would need downtown," says co-owner John McIntosh. 

    There's been a hue and cry for a supermarket within the Central Business District ever since they started rehabbing old buildings for residences. For those who live downtown, one of the first questions you always get asked is, "How do you SURVIVE without a grocery store?" As if every citizen has a grocery store a block from their home.

    When Urban Market opened in 2005, it was greeted like a savior. But when it came time to shop, many downtown residents would still get in their cars and drive to the Albertsons on McKinney or the Kroger at Mockingbird (and more recently at Cityplace). It finally limped to a closure in 2012.

    McIntosh says that he and his partners are not fazed by Urban Market's failure to make a go of it, even with the financial help it received from the city.

    "We did a study of sales and revenue and analyzed the numbers," he says. "They were doing pretty good, and [when it first opened], the amount of people downtown was about 2,000 residents. Now there are 8,000-plus in the downtown loop. We think a couple decisions they made, as far as what level of products to sell, were misguided."

    Unlike a Phil Romano who won't deign to dally in the central business district, the trio is committed to making a positive contribution towards improving urban life. They originally aspired to open a concept like this in Fort Worth, at the West Seventh Plaza. They went through the process with the city, and they were days away from breaking ground when the city pulled its support.

    Though a painful lesson, it stoked their enthusiasm to make a go of the concept when the Urban Market space became available. They decided to open Urban Vineyard first because they knew they could complete it in the shortest amount of time, and the finish-out is nearly complete.

    Bar None will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with coffee in the morning, wine and beer, a juice bar and plenty of vegetarian options on the menu.

    "We like new adventures," McIntosh says. "These are three new things we get to try and tackle."

    Specialty grocery chain Sprouts Farmers Market is opening a new location in the DFW area: According to a release, the chain — named Progressive Grocer’s Retailer of the Year — will open a store in Providence Village, east of Denton and north of Little Elm — at 800 Main St. at Hwy 380.

    The store will open on September 12.

    Sprouts is known for its farmers market experience with an open layout featuring fresh produce at the center of the store. Their merchandise leans towards "better-for-you" with lots of organic, plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, and more — offering a treasure hunt shopping experience.

    Headquartered in Phoenix, they're one of the largest and fastest growing specialty retailers of fresh, natural and organic food in the U.S. with more than 440 stores in 24 states nationwide. That includes 58 stores in Texas.

    Providence Village is located in Denton County and is considered a suburb of Dallas. According to U.S. Census figures, the estimated population as of July 2024 was 10,350 — a 34.5 percent jump from 2020 when the population was 7,691.

    This opening follows two other recent locations including Burleson, which opened on June 27, and a long-awaited location that opened in Oak Cliff on June 20. Two other locations opened in the Dallas area in 2024, in McKinney and Rockwall.

    The closest location to this new store is in Denton at 4930 Teasley Ln.

    They'll begin hiring for the new location on July 30-31, with 93 full- and part-time positions. Potential team members should share a passion for healthy eating.

    In-person hiring events will take place at Aubry Texas Community Center at 107 S. Main St. in Aubry on:

    • Wednesday, July 30 from 8 am-6 pm
    • Thursday, July 31 from 8 am-5 pm

    Employment opportunities are available i nevery department, including deli, grocery, meat/seafood, bakery, vitamins, body care, and cashiers.
