DALLAS—Boise, ID-based WinCo Foods continues its expansion throughout North Texas, with new stores slated for Arlington and Fort Worth.

In Arlington, WinCo has leased an 85,000-square-foot building in the Bardin Place shopping center, located on the southwest corner of Interstate 20 and South Cooper Street. WinCo will join tenants including Ross Dress for Less, Hobby Lobby and Dollar Tree. WinCo expects to start construction this fall, according to Venture Commercial Real Estate.

In north Fort Worth, WinCo acquired a 10.5-acre tract of land and is expected to begin construction this fall on an 85,000-square-foot store located on the southeast corner of Tehama Ridge Parkway and Presidio Vista Drive. WinCo will join tenants including Costco, Target, Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers and In-N-Out Burger in the Presidio Towne Crossing shopping center.

Kevie Beard, McGregor Converse, Jonathan Cooper and Theo Thompson of Venture represented WinCo Foods LLC in both deals. Caroline Woodbury and Don Woodbury of DWC Commercial Properties LC coordinated acquisition, development and entitlement of the properties.

"I just attended the grand opening of the Garland WinCo store, where the parking was completely full and carts were in high demand due to the volume of shoppers,” Beard, senior vice president with Venture, told GlobeSt.com. “This experience is indicative of the warm reception that WinCo Foods is receiving throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area."

Brixmor Property Group, the landlord in the Arlington lease, was represented by Mike Axelrad Sr.
