City staff used the town hall to update residents about commercial and residential development across Euless, including the H‑E‑B project at Rio Grande and Cheeks Parker and a variety of new businesses at Glade Parks and nearby corridors.

Assistant City Manager Chris Barker said the H‑E‑B store will be roughly 100,000 square feet and the developer projects a 2026 opening. Barker noted the site straddles Euless and Bedford and said the two cities entered a local‑agreement to split sales taxes 50‑50 to ease the store’s siting and share emergency‑service responsibilities. “2026 is when they think they will open,” Barker said.

Staff highlighted recent openings at Glade Parks and elsewhere, including specialty food and dining concepts, recreational amenities at Texas Star and new hotels planned near State Highway 360 and Harwood Road. Barker named completed or forthcoming businesses such as Salad and Go, Raising Cane’s (second location), Walk‑Ons, and several dessert and coffee shops. He encouraged residents to patronize new local businesses and noted some local operators had provided refreshments at the meeting.

Staff also described other projects in permitting or early construction — a Cambria hotel, a Holiday Inn Express, and mixed‑use components within the Watercolor project, including an Atwell Suites hotel and planned restaurant/retail overlooking a new pond and trail. Officials encouraged residents to follow development maps and said commercial activity is feeding the city’s tax base and amenities.

No formal council approvals were sought at the town hall; the presentation was an update and summary of active development across the city.
