White Castle Breaks Ground on First Texas Restaurant at Grandscape

The move signals the 105-year-old, family-owned chain's expansion into Texas with a late-fall 2026 opening target.

Overview

  • White Castle staged a ceremonial groundbreaking at Grandscape in The Colony that featured spatula-shaped shovels, a ceremonial “sprinkling of the onions,” and attendance by company family executives and Mayor Richard Boyer.
  • The new restaurant will sit at 5420 Destination Drive and is planned as a 3,430-square-foot building with a double drive-thru plus canopy and patio seating.
  • The company says the Grandscape location is expected to create about 70 local jobs and aims to open in late fall 2026.
  • White Castle and local officials said construction and permitting are the next steps before the store opens, with the company leading site development at the Grandscape parcel.
  • The project marks a major geographic expansion for the 105-year-old, family-owned chain that operates roughly 330–336 restaurants mainly in the Midwest and chose Grandscape as a strategic entry point into the Texas market.
