A Florida-based American restaurant famous for its self-pour beer tap wall is coming to Addison: Oak & Stone will open at 5225 Belt Line Rd. #220 in summer 2026, a release says.

Addison will be the second Oak & Stone in Dallas-Fort Worth, following a location in McKinney - representing the brand's Texas debut - debuting later this spring.

“Opening in Addison is an exciting milestone as we continue to grow our presence in North Texas," says Oak & Stone president Sam Aguilar in the release. "Addison’s thriving business corridor and dynamic dining scene make it a natural fit for Oak & Stone."

Founded in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 2018, and part of the Artistry Restaurants group, Oak & Stone's menu includes artisan pizzas that range from a minimalist classic cheese pie to the over-the-top Winger, loaded with buffalo chicken tenders, cheddar cheese, hot sauce aioli, blue cheese crumbles, and ranch.

Appetizers include garlicky spinach dip, wings, and Philly cheesesteak rolls. Heartier fare includes sandwiches and sides like smoky gouda mac n’ cheese.

But the star of the restaurant is the signature beer tap wall, which will boast as many as 50 different beer, wine, bourbon, and cocktail options, along with multiple non-alcoholic options. Above each tap is a tablet, which will display information about each option on offer, including alcohol by volume (ABV) and tasting notes that will help drinkers select libations according to their preferences; a "tap card" will help make decisions.

The Addison restaurant will span about 7,000 square feet and offer seating for 340 guests, including gathering spaces for groups and social dining. It will be open daily for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.

"We’re looking forward to bringing our elevated American fare, signature tap wall experience, and genuine hospitality to the area, and to creating a welcoming space where professionals, residents, and visitors alike can gather, connect, and unwind," Aguilar says.

Supermarket news

H-E-B to open 2 new stores in Garland, including Joe V's Smart Shop

Texas grocery chain H-E-B is expanding into the Dallas suburb of Garland, with not one but two stores in the works.

A February 24 news release breaks down the double projects:

Joe V's Smart Shop
"First, the company will revitalize a vacant shopping center located on the northeast corner of Centerville Road and LBJ Freeway," the release says. "The approximately seven-acre site will soon be home to North Texas’ fourth Joe V’s Smart Shop, an innovative price format that focuses on offering fresh, high-quality products at the lowest prices in the marketplace."

Joe V’s Smart Shop is an H-E-B spinoff that operates 14 stores in North Texas and Houston. The first one in DFW opened in Dallas in June 2024 at 4101 W. Wheatland Rd. A second opened in far east Dallas in March 2025. The third opened on Airport Freeway in Irving in November 2025.

Products include fresh produce, organics selections, in-store cut meats, in-store made tortillas, breads, and sushi made daily.

"Construction is expected to begin in the coming months," the release says.

H-E-B grocery store
"The second project involves H-E-B’s intent to develop an H-E-B store on a 21-acre site located between Crist Road and Firewheel Parkway off President George Bush Turnpike," the release says. "The purchase of that property is not yet final."

The Garland location will join H-E-B stores that have opened in Forney, Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney, Melissa, Prosper, and Rockwall, plus two in Tarrant County: Fort Worth/Alliance, and Mansfield. Stores in Irving, Denton, Dallas, Carrollton, and the Mid-Cities are in the works.

Although details of the Garland store have not been revealed, if it's like other H-E-B stores, it could include a full-service H-E-B Pharmacy with drive-thru, Curbside and Home Delivery service, Wellness Primary Care clinic, and a True Texas BBQ restaurant with drive-thru.

San Antonio-based H-E-B has been in Dallas since 2001 when it opened its first high-end chain Central Market, which now has six locations in Dallas, Plano, Southlake, and Fort Worth. The regional supermarket chain is consistently rated among America's best grocers by industry and consumer reports.

Additional details on the Garland projects will be shared as they develop, the company says.
