New in Grapevine: October 2025

It's a big month for nostalgia in Grapevine, with a significant number of concepts that received Certificates of Occupancy centered around some level of appreciation for days gone by. As usual, the list below is thematic and more indicative than explanatory. We recommend looking up the full list of new businesses if you want to know everything there is to know.

Northwest Highway's New Diner is Worth a Daytrip

The former Waffle Way is getting new life with a splash of historic appeal thanks to Jena and Gino Seferi, owners of the fully revamped Daytrip Diner at 1206 W. Northwest Highway. Veterans of food service with a devoted following from their days at Morning Edition Cafe in Flower Mound, the Seferis have created a charming breakfast and lunch destination with decor and menu items specifically crafted to captivate guests of all ages. Part retro diner, part foodie paradise, Daytrip is sure to earn a regular brunch crowd faster than you can fry an egg on the Texas sidewalk come August.

Lucid Offices Bet on Office Resurgence in DFW 

A few years ago, hybrid and remote work appeared to be collapsing demand for office space. But slowing construction and rising demand have the sector ready to rebound, with the team at Lucid Private Offices poised to serve users caught in transition. The stylish new coworking space is perfect for startups, growth-stage companies, and entrepreneurs ready to test the water(cooler)s of on-site meetings. Conveniently located within the City's main Hospitality corridor, Lucid offers great options for small teams, individuals, and temporary relocations while offering the flexibility of nearby restaurant and hotel supply to supplement their excellent meeting spaces. If you're dreaming of the next big step, Lucid is the way to go.

We Were Always on a Collision Course with Stuart's Paint & Body

Grapevine faithful will recognize Stuart's Paint & Body as the motivated buyers of an undeveloped parcel across from Grapevine Mills. It took some time to perfect the final designs, but the specialty auto repair shop is now ready to help customers erase the painful memories of accidents past… at least as far as your vehicle is concerned. Top-notch training and a familial atmosphere will go a long way to putting you at ease after a wreck, but they're more focused on patching up your car's body than repairing any physical or emotional damage related to the crash. Don't worry; Grapevine has other specialists for that kind of thing.

Aren't We All Toys "R" Us Kids at Heart?

Few brands are as instantly recognizable as the colorful, sometimes backward lettering at Toys"R"Us, and the company is turning around more than cute abbreviations these days. After launching inside DFW International Airport, your favorite zoo-themed purveyors of plastic have fully committed to Grapevine with the addition of a 3,765 square foot store within Grapevine Mills. The new toy store is among the first in a wave of planned revivals across the country, with 30 stores – including seasonal pop-ups and permanent flagships like ours – in the works for the year ahead. Our community landed at the top of Geoffrey's comeback list, and if previous deals in the neighborhood are indicative of future success, you can bet giraffe this one will have legs.

Youth Teams Rejoice as Cici's Pizza Returns to Grapevine

As hotly anticipated as the next round of dessert “pies,” Cici's Pizza is officially open at Grapevine Towne Center. Guests will find familiar favorites on the menu and in the decor, thanks to the 4,200 square-foot restaurant's modestly modernized look. But this revival is about more than continuing color schemes or catchy jingles that never fully left your brain after the bankruptcy in 2021… the company is focused on improving efficiency, lowering costs, and expanding on-site entertainment. That should mean more pizza for less cash and, if you're truly dedicated to the craft, a chance to have your initials looming over young arcade visitors for years to come.
