Overview
- Grand Prairie’s economic development office publicly confirmed plans for a White Castle restaurant in the EpicCentral area along the Highway 161 corridor.
- The city’s announcement did not name the precise parcel or give a construction or opening date, leaving site-level details pending further municipal or company disclosures.
- This Grand Prairie restaurant will be White Castle’s third planned Texas location following the chain’s recent expansion into the Dallas–Fort Worth market.
- White Castle already broke ground on a first Texas site at Grandscape in The Colony, which is expected to open in late fall 2026, and it has a second planned restaurant in southwest Fort Worth slated to begin construction next year.
- Local officials are promoting the project as part of commercial growth along major corridors, and residents should expect more details from city permits or company releases that will clarify timing, traffic impacts, and site design.
