Allen residents will soon have another beloved local dining option when Rodeo Goat opens a new restaurant at Sloan Corners, the massive mixed‑use development being built by Billingsley Company at the SH‑121 and US‑75 intersection.
Rodeo Goat expands its footprint in North Texas
Rodeo Goat, known for creative burgers, hand‑punched fries and a solid craft‑beer selection, already operates locations in Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Plano, Addison, Denton, Rockwall and Cypress Waters. The Allen lease marks the fifth Billingsley‑affiliated restaurant in the developer’s portfolio and continues a long‑standing partnership with Dallas restaurateur Shannon Wynne and his partners.
Billingsley Company emphasizes local favorites
“We place a lot of value on bringing authentic local favorites into our developments,” said Lucy Burns, partner at Billingsley Company. “The restaurants people already know and love give a community personality from day one. Rodeo Goat brings that energy naturally.”
Sloan Corners’ broader vision
Sloan Corners is a master‑planned community spanning roughly 480 acres across Allen and Fairview. At full build‑out, the project is expected to attract about $3 billion in investment and will combine apartments, offices, retail, restaurants and extensive outdoor amenities into a walkable neighborhood.
The first phases will deliver more than 180,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and nearly 4,000 multifamily residences. Future phases include office development and over 50 acres of parks and open space featuring trails, dog parks, pickleball courts and public art.
Bravo Park, the development’s central green space, opened June 20 and already hosts planned tenants such as Mexican Bar Company, Flat Grounds Coffee and City Futsal, adding a recreational component to the area.
High visibility for the new restaurant
The SH‑121/US‑75 intersection sees more than 300,000 vehicles each day, giving Rodeo Goat a prominent position in front of a substantial stream of North Texas traffic. An opening date has not yet been announced.
What this means for Allen
The addition of Rodeo Goat reinforces Allen’s growing reputation as a destination for quality dining and family‑friendly entertainment. By anchoring the retail district with a well‑known local brand, the development aims to create a vibrant community hub that supports both existing residents and future newcomers.
Local business leaders and city officials have praised the project for its potential to generate jobs, increase tax revenue and enhance the city’s quality‑of‑life offerings. As the Sloan Corners development progresses, more details on additional tenants and community amenities are expected to be released.
