A change in gas station branding will lead to the construction of a new Whataburger and Starbucks at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
The DFW Mart North at 2900 N. Airfield Drive and the DFW Mart South at 2344 Rental Car Drive will become 7-Eleven stores.
A 15-year lease starts Jan. 1, 2027, according to minutes from the DFW Airport Board of Directors meeting on Oct. 1.
The concessionaire will pay $249,900 for ground rent, with a 3% increase per year for the DFW Mart North location.
