The company plans to build its third Dallas-Fort Worth restaurant in the EpicCentral area along the Highway 161 corridor. 

According to a post on social media by the city’s department of economic development, the plans are official, but the details about exactly where the restaurant will be and when it will open haven’t been released yet.

The backstory:

This will be White Castle’s third location in Texas.
