Commuters at VIA's Stone Oak Park & Ride now have a fresh excuse to cut it close on their departure times. Market@StoneOak, a compact convenience store with a full Dunkin counter, quietly opened in late October along the U.S. 281 frontage road, offering grab-and-go groceries, coffee and donuts just steps from the buses, as reported by Community Impact.
Inside The New Market
According to Community Impact, Market@StoneOak is owned by Sachin Bhutani and Muhammad Amin. The shop stocks everyday staples such as milk, eggs and bread alongside specialty items that skew a bit more indulgent, including craft beer and Dubai chocolates.
The Dunkin counter inside the store is franchised to Kishore Samtani and, as Community Impact notes, "serves all day". Customers can expect Dunkin's standard lineup of coffee drinks, baked goods and breakfast sandwiches. Community Impact records the opening date for Market@StoneOak as Oct. 28, 2025.
Built Around The Park & Ride Crowd
The market sits immediately adjacent to VIA's Stone Oak Park & Ride, which VIA Metropolitan Transit lists at 22139 U.S. Highway 281 North. The facility offers about 400 parking spaces that serve express routes into the city. VIA notes its Park & Ride locations provide free parking and sheltered waiting areas, which naturally channel foot traffic past nearby businesses. That steady stream of commuters likely factored into the decision to land this market on the frontage road.
Property Details And Corridor Context
Commercial listing data places the storefront at 22255 U.S. Highway 281 North on a roughly 0.52-acre lot, configured as a 3,200-square-foot store building. LoopNet lists the parcel's APN and lot size, which line up with the market's relatively compact footprint. The site sits among several newer retail developments along the 281 corridor, fitting into a broader trend of pairing quick-service brands with convenience retail in the Stone Oak area.
What Shoppers Can Expect
For now, Market@StoneOak is leaning into a convenience-first mix that pairs recognizable branding from Dunkin with a few higher-end impulse buys, according to Community Impact. Fans of the coffee chain can access its standard menu along with app-order options via Dunkin'.
With the front door just a short stroll from the Park & Ride, foot traffic will likely settle into predictable peaks around the morning and evening commute as riders fold a coffee run or snack stop into their daily routines.
