The subs have landed in Flower Mound: Capriotti's Sandwich Shop, known for cheesesteaks, turkey subs, and more sandwich have opened a location in Flower Mound at 801 International Pkwy. #530.

Founded in Wilmington, Delaware in 1976, Capriotti's Sandwich Shop is known for its array of sandwiches including:

The Bobbie, made with turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mayo
the Capastrami, made with hot pastrami, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and homemade coleslaw
the cheesesteak, made with steak, chicken, or Impossible plant-based meat and melted cheese plus hot or sweet peppers

Other menu items include cold, grilled, and vegetarian subs, plus salads.

According to their website, the chain was founded by siblings Lois and Alan Margolet, out of a desire to create something unique while honoring family heritage. They sold to CEO Ashley Morris in 2007.

The Flower Mound location is managed by Erik Frazier.

"When looking into restaurant franchises, it was the ingredients that the brands were using that was most important to me," Frazier says in a statement. "Capriotti's is known to have fresh, high-quality ingredients it is a privilege to bring Capriotti's award-winning sandwiches to Flower Mound and its surrounding areas."

The chain has three other locations in the DFW area, including McKinney, which opened in January 2022, and Frisco, where they opened a location in April 2022 - one of more than 170 locations across the U.S.

Ultra-hip '70s-style restaurant bar Seager & Sons opens in Plano

Seager & Sons

A new restaurant with a total '70s vibe is opening in Plano: Called Seager & Sons, it's a nostalgic restaurant and cocktail bar that will debut along the Boardwalk at Granite Park, at 5864 SH-121 #106, on December 10, pairing hand-stretched pizza and fried chicken with cocktails and beer.

According to a release, Seager & Sons is from 33 Restaurant Group, who also own Union Bear, The Yard, and Suburban Yacht Club.

They're hoping to create a place for a casual weeknight family dinner, date night, or a group gathering around the firepit.

In addition to pizza and fried chicken, the menu includes:

Crab Rangoon Dip
Cacio E Pepe Fritters
Lobster Thermidor
Oven Roasted Sammies on House Focaccia Bread

A dimly-lit wraparound bar is just the place for beverages such as one-of-a-kind highball cocktails from a custom highball machine exclusively made with Tito’s handmade vodka and locally-brewed Seager & Sons craft beers. Other cocktails include a Banana Bread Old Fashioned, Black Cherry Bourbon Slush, and the Rocketman, a fresh take on an espresso martini made with Honey Vanilla Bean Vodka and espresso from Cultivar Coffee Roasters.

33 Restaurant Group founder Preston Lancaster says in a release that their goal is to create a place with welcoming food, drinks, and atmosphere.

"I’ve always been inspired by places that have a certain magic — where the warmth of an old bar, great food, and unforgettable memories come together," Lancaster says.

The nostalgia is conveyed via a custom interior within the 7,500 -square-foot space transports guests back to the 1970s that’s rich in detail, with warm wood paneling, earthy green leather, and terrazzo tabletops. The space is layered with nostalgic elements like vintage records, guitars, and lo-fi stereos.
