Blue Goose Cantina in Grapevine boasts familial environment

Many residents of the Dallas Fort-Worth metroplex are familiar with Blue Goose Cantina because of its quick service, strong margaritas and Tex-Mex food made with fresh ingredients, according to managers.
What many residents do not know is that Blue Goose is family-owned and -operated.
The business was originally started by friends Bob Peterson and Scott Holyfield, who opened the first location on Lower Greenville Avenue in Dallas in 1984. Both have since died, but Peterson’s wife, Jill, and son, Nick, now run the business.
While Blue Goose has grown significantly since the ‘80s, Grapevine General Manager Lacy Schara said it has managed to hold onto a family-style, small-business feel.
