CVS is coming to Forney - at Highway 80 & 548, on the south side of the highway (opposite from Shafer Plaza, WalMart, etc. - between Highway 80 & the train tracks) there’s a lot of dirt being moved for the construction of a new City Bank branch; the CVS will be in that same area. This is in addition to the Walgreens that’s under construction near the Chase bank that’s also under construction not too far from Sonic & WalMart.

Another sports bar is opening in Forney, it looks like. In Mustang Crossing, in the spaces that are being finished down near the Lowe’s, behind the Autozone, a TABC notice has been posted in one of the windows concerning the application for a liquor license by a “Lucky’s Sports Grill”. In addition to Lucky’s, Overtime Sports Cafe has an ad out saying that they’ll be opening in April. Overtime is located in the Forney Center, at Highway 80 & Pinson Road, not too far from the McDonald’s.

Wing Stop has a coming soon sign up in the same area of Mustang Crossing as Lucky’s - they’re in the space closest to Lowe’s, actually. They seem to be moving pretty quickly, and have a now hiring sign out.

Overtime Sports Cafe has a website up with photos of their construction and info about employment opportunities there.

Chick-fil-A seems to be making great progress; the exterior glass and doors appear to be in place.

In addition to the sign for Lucky’s and the progress on the Wing Stop, there’s a few spaces in the new shopping center in Mustang Crossing near Lowe’s that appear to have drywall installed or in the process of being installed, so it looks like there are even more businesses that will be opening in that area soon.

I have photos of a few of these new buildings, and hope to have them online within a few days, but I may be a little slow to get things posted until after taxes are due (I’m just glad they’re due on the 17th instead of the 15th of April this year). In the meantime, as always, if you have any info on these or any other developments, please take a second to email it to me at josh@twentypeacefulminutes.com, or post it in the Forney discussion forums.
