Moxies, the Canadian casual-dining chain, is set to take over the former City Works space at The Star in Frisco, with plans for nearly 13,000 square feet of restaurant and bar space. State project records put the tenant-improvement work at about $800,000, with construction expected to kick off at the end of July and the restaurant listed to open in spring 2027, according to Community Impact.
Permit Details And Timeline
A filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shows project TABS2026020550 as a 12,971-square-foot tenant finish-out at 3680 The Star Blvd. in Frisco. The paperwork lists Blue Star Frisco Retail, LLC as the owner and Eatz Hospitality — Drew Smith as the tenant, with construction slated to begin July 28, 2026, and wrap up by March 8, 2027. The estimated cost clocks in at roughly $800,000.
Where It Will Land
Community Impact reports that Moxies will move into the former City Works location inside The Star entertainment district and is listed to open in spring 2027, based on details in the state permit filing. The address places it in the middle of the action, steps from the rest of The Star's shops, bars and restaurants.
What Moxies Will Bring
Moxies bills itself as a globally inspired, premium-casual brand, with menus that cover lunch, dinner, happy hour, late night, and weekend brunch at select locations. The chain is already a known quantity in North Texas, with restaurants in Plano and Southlake, according to Moxies. The Star location is set to be another big-format spot, sized for game-day crowds and post-practice meetups.
Why The Star Matters
The Star doubles as the Dallas Cowboys' 91-acre world headquarters and an entertainment destination open to the public. The campus describes itself as a mixed-use entertainment and retail hub, the kind of place national restaurant concepts tend to circle on a map. More about the development and its leasing can be found at The Star in Frisco.
Timeline And What To Watch
The project record shows it was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on May 18, with a planned construction start of July 28, 2026, and a target completion date of March 8, 2027. The next visible signs that things are moving will likely be permit placards in the windows, job postings and an official operator announcement. This story will be updated as more details surface, including a firm opening date and any changes to the build schedule.
