Trader Joe’s to anchor development at Walnut and Central
Provident Realty’s President Leon Backes has confirmed that coveted grocer Trader Joe’s will anchor a mixed-use development, Preston Hollow Village, at the northwest corner of Central Expressway and Walnut Hill. Backes told us they were looking for a “relatively small” anchor and retailers not yet seen in the Dallas market. Provident is a partner with Missouri-based Kroenke Holdings, which bought the land in November 2010. This will be the second Trader Joe’s in Dallas; the first was announced for Lower Greenville. Preston Hollow Village is considered one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in Dallas right now. The entire development will take several years to complete.

Matt Galligan is the new store manager, helming the chain’s first entry into Texas. He last managed Total Wine’s Charlotte, N.C., store and has visited prestigious wineries around the world.
