<span style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">The current model of combining dining experiences with grocery shopping will be well represented in the new store. Look for such innovative venues as </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Texas Ramen</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">, where guests can enjoy the hearty Japanese soup sensation with a Texas barbecue spin; </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Draft Shack</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">, an indoor, charcoal-grill oyster bar boasting 45 beers on tap; and </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Public Domain</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">, a converted freight train shipping container with an outdoor beer and bratwurst bar. In fact, beer seems to be a major focus at the new store, what with the two draft bars and a four foot “beer alley” stocked with 100 point-rated brews.</span><br />

They even have a Texas local forager scouring the state to discover and recruit culinary artisans for this program. Here is a list of just some of the new products to look for when the store opens:</span><br />

When plans for the Domain store were initially discussed, the overall scheme called for closing the smaller <b>Gateway</b> store, now the oldest store in local Whole Foods Market chain. However, Southwest Regional President <b>Mark Dixon</b> recently announced that loyal Gateway customers and team members will not lose their store but instead get a remodeled and refreshed outlet. The Gateway store will temporarily close on Tuesday, Jan 12 for a renovation and green efficiency update and re-open in late February. During the renovation, team members will relocate to other outlets in the chain and help out with the opening of the Domain store.</div>
