Meet Shake Shack’s New Neighbor: A Famed New York Gourmet Grocery Store is Opening in Texas

Cheese and charcuterie, fine slabs of filet mignon, gourmet pastas and sauces, and bakery delicacies (chocolate babka, mini tarts, cheesecake, et al.) are on the menu at Dean & DeLuca, the New York-based gourmet market, which will open its first Texas outpost in Plano’s new Legacy West development next spring.

Dean & DeLuca — the luxury food emporium that began business in 1977 with a Soho shop and now boasts dozens of locations across the globe — is slated to make its debut in March 2017, along with all of Legacy West, a $3.2 billion dollar, 255-acre mixed-use project that also will also house Toulouse Café and Bar, Taverna, True Food Kitchen, Mesero, and Shake Shack, among others.

We had a hunch Dean & DeLuca might make its way to our great state when this year’s Colonial golf tournament was officially renamed the Dean & DeLuca invitational, with the grocer even hosting a pop-up during the PGA festivities. Get ready for some more great food.
