Fitness start up

A new fitness business, Oak Fit, is expected to open sometime this spring in a 5,000-square-foot space on West Davis between Vernon and Van Buren. Oak Fit will offer cross training, personal training, yoga, running groups and youth camps. “The premise of Oak Fit is based around camaraderie and community,” says owner Ron Incerta, who has worked independently as a personal trainer for nine years. The studio will have one large open space with free weights and only a few endurance machines. “The focus is on measurable and repeatable results as opposed to just paying for access to treadmill,” he says.

Sylvan Thirty fire and update

A fire at Slvan Thirty last month destroyed a two-story retail building that would’ve housed Sync Yoga and Ten, the ramen shop from Tei-An chef Teiichi Sakurai. Nothing else at the under-construction development was damaged in the fire. That building had been scheduled to open in May, and it’s being rebuilt on a fast track in hopes of a fall opening. The fire occurred next door to the future home of Cox Farms Market. That grocery’s owner, Mark Cox, says he can open the store when northbound lanes of Sylvan are finished and there is a connection between the street and the shopping center. Those lanes are expected to open this month, and the entire stretch of sylvan, between Fort Worth Avenue and Interstate 30, is expected to be completed by the end of May.

Stock & Barrel to open in former Safety Glass building

Chef Jon Stevens is expected to open a new restaurant, Stock & Barrel, in the former Safety Glass building in Bishop Arts by the end of this month. The 2,800-squarefoot restaurant, will feature “an oasis like, dog friendly patio” and a 14-seat kitchen counter where diners can watch the action in the kitchen. “I’ve long felt the rotisserie is vastly underutilized in today’s best kitchens,” Stevens says in a media release. Suckling pig, bone-in rib roasts and exotic fowl will be slow roasting on the spit, he says. Stevens also is planning “hand cut pastas as well as some of my more popular dishes like baked eggplant and goat cheese dumplings.” An entire section of the menu will be dedicated to “the art of fried potatoes,” Stevens says. “French fries are a comfort food for me, and I’ve developed a menu above and beyond sweet potato and shoestring options with different sauces to mix and match with each offering.”
