Big Lots, retail development coming to Fort Worth Avenue

Big Lots is planned for the old Minyard’s store on Fort Worth Avenue at Hampton. But even bigger plans are in the works on an adjacent corner. A 70,000-square-foot grocery store, 30,000 square feet of restaurant space, 280 apartments and 70 townhomes are planned for 20 acres fronting Fort Worth at Colorado. The 20-acre project from Corinth Properties is on the site of the old Colorado Place apartments, where a Walmart store had been planned a few years ago. The development is to be called The Avenue.
