The background
According to previous Community Impact reporting, Floor Decor announced in June 2024 it would open in Grapevine. During the Aug. 20, 2024, meeting, council learned the business would not be coming due to a lease termination of the location at 3200 Grapevine Mills Parkway, where the aforementioned LA Fitness used to be. The previous filing showed construction would cost $8.4 million.
During the May 18, 2021, meeting, City Council denied a 475-unit multi-family housing complex at the same location. Despite a 4-3 approval from the commission, council denied the conditional use permit requested by the applicant in a 6-1 vote, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
