Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Ordinarily we wouldn’t get too excited about the opening of yet another convenience store in Dallas. It’s hard to remember the last time we griped that we had a hard time finding a place to grab a bag of Funyuns, a hot dog or a bottle of Mountain Dew (or make a lunch of all three).
But Urban Pantry isn’t where you’ll go for a take-out dinner that consists of Doritos and a 40 of Olde English. The store, located at 5301 Alpha Road across from the Galleria mall, specializes in hard-to-find organic and international foods along with groceries and a deli offering specialty breads, cheeses and meats.
If nothing else, it sounds a bit healthier than the Galleria food court.
