Frisco Rumor Mill

The latest whispers and speculations about exciting local developments, from potential new biz openings to upcoming community projects and events everyone is talking about. If you have scoop, please send our editor a note!

• Update: We told you Whole Foods was coming soon … but then we got nervous because construction activity at The Mix (SE Lebanon/DNT) was a rare sight. But now we can breathe a sigh of relief - IT IS HAPPENING. Whole Foods Frisco broke ground last week. ICYMI - this development comes after a decade-long wait.

• Partnership: Collin College has teamed up with the Texas Statewide Course Sharing Exchange Program to give students access to online classes from schools across the state, starting this fall. It’s a big win for flexibility, allowing students to mix and match courses while staying enrolled at Collin. The goal? Make it easier to finish degrees without jumping through a bunch of hoops.

• Congratulations: Luke Colton, a senior-to-be at Frisco Wakeland High School, secured a 4-and-3 victory over top-ranked junior player Miles Russell Friday in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Junior Amateur at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas!

• New kid-centric biz: Dig World is digging into Grapevine Mills with a wild new twist on family fun—think full-size excavators, trick-shot stations, and a splash of Dude Perfect flair. This construction-themed adventure park lets kids (and grown-ups) operate real machinery in a safe, hands-on environment. Opening in early 2026, it’s part amusement park, part dream job for anyone who ever loved playing in the dirt.

• Call to action: For over 30 years, Randy Burks has poured his heart into Randy’s Steakhouse, housed in Frisco’s historic 1869 T.J. Campbell House. But ongoing Main Street construction has slashed his Friday night steak sales from nearly 140 to just 40—putting the future of this beloved local landmark at risk. This home-turned-restaurant has survived fires, renovations, and even a murder, but today it faces a new challenge. Like many downtown businesses, Randy’s is struggling. Read more about its rich history and uncertain future—and make this Frisco original your next dinner destination.
