Downtown Dallas finally scores the grocery store it has long craved
Project Location - Trammell Crow Center
Project Location - Mercantile Place

Downtown Dallas finally nets the grocery store it has long craved, and it's a humdinger: Austin-based Royal Blue Grocery will open not one but two stores, both inside the Central Business District.
For downtown dwellers, that means a short jaunt to get house-made quinoa oatmeal topped with Texas pecans, dried cranberries, brown sugar, and cinnamon. It means sandwiches, soups, salads, and produce. It means toilet paper in a pinch. It also means coffee by acclaimed Stumptown Coffee from Portland, Oregon.
The two stores will be located at the Mercantile Place building at 1704 Main St., and at the Trammell Crow Center at 2001 Ross Ave., which is currently undergoing a multimillion-dollar makeover.
The chain hopes to do for downtown Dallas what it has done for downtown Austin: add density, vitality, street amenities, and convenience for workers and residents downtown.

In a release, Royal Blue Grocery proprietor Zac Porter says they're excited about Trammell Crow Center, which he calls "an iconic building undergoing a beautiful remodel."
"Our patio overlooking the DMA is going to be really special," he says. "As we expand into downtown Dallas, we think this location will be great for the building and our Ross Avenue, Arts District, and Klyde Warren Park neighbors."
