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!

• Crave Cookies is bringing its sweet magic to Frisco in 2025! Known for its rotating weekly menu of six inventive cookie flavors—plus the always-available classic chocolate chip—Crave Cookies is more than just a cookie shop. The new location at 7151 Preston Road, Ste. 301C, will also serve up dessert cups, cookie cakes, mini cookies, and customizable flavored sodas. Looks like it’s time for us to update our “best cookies” roundup.

• This week, Frisco City Council gave the green light for 4 vibrant murals to dazzle the facade of the Universal Kids Resort hotel. Matching the themed lands of the Park, images of Shrek, Minions, Trolls, and Jurassic World will turn the building into a giant storybook come to life.

• In local sports news, Frisco is kicking things up a notch—literally! The city just approved a brand-new futsal court at Warren Sports Complex, thanks to a team-up with the FC Dallas Foundation. Growing in popularity, this fast-paced, five-a-side version of soccer is set to bring global flair to local play, just in time for the 2026 World Cup buzz.

• Say hello to Palato Parkside, the brand-new airstream food truck that recently opened at Kaleidoscope Park! An extension of Palato - the Italian Kitchen and Lounge next door at Hall Park Hotel, Palato Parkside will serve salads, sandwiches, and pizza! 🥗🥪🍕 The shiny new food truck will operate Friday through Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm.

Frisco’s Finest: A Look Inside the Most Expensive Homes in Town

Ever wondered what an $8 million dream home in Frisco looks like? Spoiler: it includes a wine cellar, motorized glass walls, and a spa-worthy bathroom that might just make you cancel your next vacation. Oh, and 8 bathrooms.

From Spanish-modern stunners to estates with pet spas (yes, really), our new quarterly luxury market spotlight - FRISCO’S FINEST- is your VIP pass inside the most jaw-dropping homes currently on the market. Whether you’re house hunting or just here for the luxury eye candy, this roundup is pure real estate gold.

While You Wait

Maybe you’re in stand-still traffic on Eldorado or you’re “waiting for the host to start the meeting” — whatever you’re doing, we have some quick hits for you:

WhatsThatNow? Bummer for your International group chat… WhatsApp - owned by Meta - is set to introduce ads for the first time. They’ll be displayed on the Status screen, similar to how Instagram shows ads in Stories. Until now, WhatsApp generated revenue through its Business platform and click-to-WhatsApp advertisements … then they realized they were missing out on an obscenely large revenue source.

Pete and Repeat: Universal’s live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon swooped into theaters this past weekend and raked in about $84 million domestically. We all know Hollywood loves to recycle their content — the 2025 box-office leaderboard reads like a list of sequels, prequels, remakes, and other IP adaptations.

Coming Soon: Toys That Talk Back: Mattel just teamed up with OpenAI to sprinkle a little artificial intelligence into your kid’s toy box. That’s right — the classic Fisher-Price See ’n Say might soon do more than moo and baa. It could start asking your toddler why the cow says moo. The toy giant says its first AI-powered plaything will debut later this year. While they haven’t unleashed a Barbie M3gan (phew), they’re toying with the idea of giving games like UNO and the Magic 8 Ball a brain boost — think sassier card games and eerily insightful fortune-telling. Don’t worry — your toys aren’t plotting world domination (yet). They just want to play.
