Potbelly is headed to West McKinney, joining the new Eldorado Neighborhood Shops and giving locals another national lunch option in an already stacked center. The sandwich shop plans to occupy a 1,967-square-foot shell, and according to state records, the tenant’s interior build-out is scheduled to start this Friday and finish in early August. The fit-out is pegged at about $450,000, and the project registration lists Barry Burke as the tenant contact. The Eldorado center is already planned for a Trader Joe’s and several chain restaurants, so your midday sandwich run is about to get a lot more crowded.
What the filings show
A project record with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lays out the details for Potbelly’s spot at 3200 S. Stonebridge Drive, Suite 108. The filing describes a 1,967-square-foot tenant build-out that will add new interior partitions and commercial kitchen equipment, including Type II hoods, along with related HVAC, plumbing and electrical work. The TDLR record lists a construction start date of this Friday and an Aug. 1 completion date for the renovation, with an estimated cost of $450,000. DxU Architects is named as the design firm, and Eldorado Neighborhood Shops Holdings LLC is listed as the owner.
Where it will sit
The new Potbelly will tuck into the 13.7-acre Eldorado Neighborhood Shops project led by Plano-based SLX Capital. The company describes the development at the corner of Eldorado Parkway and Stonebridge Drive and says it will be anchored by a Trader Joe’s. SLX project materials and reporting on the center point to a tenant lineup that already includes national names such as Chipotle and Crunch Fitness and note that the shops sit next to an H-E-B and Methodist McKinney Hospital. The mix is pitched squarely at everyday errands and quick-service dining for surrounding neighborhoods and commuters.
A North Texas push
The McKinney storefront is part of a broader North Texas expansion Potbelly announced in late 2025, a franchise deal that named Burke Restaurant Group and mapped out nine new shops across McKinney, Denton, Flower Mound and other nearby cities, according to local coverage. Cross Timbers Gazette and other outlets reported on the agreement and the group’s plans to grow the brand across the region.
Menu and timeline
Potbelly’s standard lineup of toasted sandwiches, soups, salads, macaroni-and-cheese and hand-dipped milkshakes shows up clearly in the equipment list from the state filing, including that Type II hood for the hot items. The company’s offerings are detailed by Potbelly, and Potbelly notes in its investor materials that the brand operates more than 400 shops nationwide and is leaning into franchise-led growth. If the TDLR schedule holds, the McKinney fit-out would wrap in early August, setting the stage for the store to open for service later this summer.
Community Impact first reported the signing and pulled together many of the project specifics. We will update when Potbelly or SLX Capital pins down a grand-opening date. In the meantime, residents curious about the new center can watch the Eldorado corridor as the project shifts from shell space to finished storefronts over the summer.
