Heard it here first....Tacodeli coming to Tanglewood [area].  (is this really Tanglewood on the west side of Hulen?)
 


Le Margot, also on the west side of Hulen, is typically described as Tanglewood: https://amp.star-tel...e261747312.html

It's Reddit, so take this with a shaker of salt, but a lengthy discussion about rumors that the new generation of the Lancarte family is set to sell Joe T's to Taylor Sheridan. https://www.reddit.c..._joe_t_garcias/


Article about Joe T's being on the market to sell.
 
https://fortworthrep...=organic-social
 
I have also heard through the grapevine that he is also purchasing/purchased several lots behind Joe T's along Commerce Street from 21st to 23rd that he plans to redevelop


Who knew, sometimes Reddit rumors are true!
