The latest whispers and speculations about exciting local developments, from potential new biz openings to upcoming community projects and events everyone is talking about.

• Recently, we were thrilled to hear about a new Whole Foods opening at The Mix development, located at the southeast corner of Lebanon and the DNT. However, this news might not have been as exciting for our friends on the east side of town near the McKinney border, who would have to battle traffic to enjoy it. But now, great news East-siders: you're getting your very own, more convenient Whole Foods at the upcoming West Grove development, scheduled to open in 2025 at 380/Custer.

• The Academy of Country Music and its charitable arm, ACM Lifting Lives, will host a gala in Frisco on May 7 to honor the legendary duo Brooks & Dunn. The "Play Something Country" event will feature performances by Eric Church, Cody Johnson, Megan Moroney, Keith Urban, and Lainey Wilson. Held on the eve of the 60th ACM Awards in Frisco, proceeds from the gala will support mental health initiatives within the country music industry. Tables and individual tickets are available through [email protected].

• Can Am Pizza has made its way to Frisco! The Washington state gourmet pizza shop is opening up at Coit and Main.
