A new coffee spot is about to land at Dallas Love Field: Called Jetsetters, it's a coffee lounge that'll open inside the Frontiers of Flight Museum, welcoming airport travelers and locals alike with coffee, pastries, tacos, sandwiches, snacks, and sweets.

Frontiers of Flight is a Smithsonian-affiliated aerospace museum at 6911 Lemmon Ave., on the eastern edge of Love Field. The museum, which has been open for more than 35 years, previously had a snack counter of sorts. Jetsetters represents a serious upgrade. (The museum also added a merchandise store in 2025.)

Jetsetters will feature goods by local and area purveyors including:

coffee by Cultivar Coffee & Tea
pastries by Sugar & Sage Bakery
tacos by Tacodeli
orange and pistachio tea cake from Maman, the recently-arrived cafe and bakery chain from New York which is opening a number of locations around DFW

Wifi-enabled meeting space will be available for corporate titans and community groups.

The opening of Jetsetters highlights the museum's role as a gathering place, as well as a respite for travelers awaiting their flight at Dallas Love Field, says Frontiers of Flight Museum president and CEO Abigail Erickson-Torres in a statement.

"Jetsetters is a sophisticated, family and corporate friendly lounging space to enjoy a unique experience inside the Frontiers of Flight Museum," Erickson-Torres says. "We’ve spent a year developing this concept — bringing together the best team, food and beverage options, merchandise, and stylish architecture designed to comfort the traveler, the aviator, veteran and international explorers and their families."

The North Dallas Chamber of Commerce will preside over a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, April 28 before opening day on Wednesday, April 29. Their hours will be 8 am-2:30 pm Monday-Friday, 10 am-4 pm Saturday, and 1-4 pm Sunday. They'll be open to everyone, no ticket is necessary. Enter through the main doors and check in at the front desk to receive a pass.

The Frontiers of Flight Museum is a Smithsonian Affiliate and a premier destination for aviation and space flight history. Its 100,000-square-foot facility houses 18 galleries with more than 35,000 artifacts, including rare aircraft, spacecraft, and flight memorabilia, including replicas of the Wright Flyer and the Apollo 7 spacecraft.

Kroger will open in Little Elm on July 31.

After nearly two years in the making, Kroger's new Marketplace store in Little Elm is finally ready to debut. The grocery chain has set Friday, July 31 as the opening date of its 123,000-square-foot store at 26587 E. University Dr.

According to a release, the store is a nearly $40 million project that will bring about 200 jobs and serve the rapidly growing communities of Little Elm, Aubrey, Providence Village, and beyond.

Announced in 2024, the new location is Kroger's first Marketplace-format store to open in North Texas this year. In addition to a full-service grocery with produce, meat and seafood, floral, and pharmacy departments, the expanded concept includes home goods, apparel, toys, and other general merchandise.

Shoppers also will find specialty features such as a Murray's Cheese counter, a fresh-cut fruit kiosk, and a fuel center with 14 pumps plus a grab-and-go kiosk for snacks and beverages.

"This new Marketplace store reflects Kroger's long-term commitment to serving families who are putting down roots and building their future in one of the fastest-growing areas of North Texas," said Rudy DiPietro, president of Kroger's Texas Division, in a statement.

The grand opening begins at 6 am on July 31, when the first shoppers through the doors will receive prizes, gift cards, and coupons for free breakfast items. Kroger also will offer grand opening discounts through August 4, including 30 cents off per gallon for Kroger Rewards members at the fuel center during the weekends of July 31-August 2 and August 7-9.

The Little Elm location is Kroger's 208th store in Texas. Targeting the fast-growing suburbs north of Dallas, the grocer also has new stores under construction in Anna, Fate, McKinney, Princeton, as well as the Sendera Ranch community in north Fort Worth.
