After Dempsey’s Place was closed last summer due to the coronavirus pandemic, owner Stan Penn has reopened the space as Dempsey’s Marketplace. The business opened March 3 at 310 E. Louisiana St., McKinney. It is now being operated as a convenience store and marketplace that also sells beers and wine on the premises.

The patio at Dempsey’s remains open and is still dog-friendly, Penn said, so people are able to purchase beer or wine and enjoy it on the patio. The space will also host music on the weekends. Later this month, the kitchen will open for breakfast and light lunches, such as sandwiches. Additionally, the store offers grocery and convenience items, such as paper towels and dog food.

“It’s really a small supermarket,” Penn said. 214-842-8811. www.dempseysmckinney.com
