CECILIA LENZEN COMMUNITY IMPACT
FEATURED IMPACT NOW OPEN Pull Through Co ee Bar, a new cycling-centric co ee shop, opened near White Rock Lake on Feb. 25. The co ee shop is located at 4875 W. Lawther Drive, Dallas, inside Dallas Bike Works, a popular local bike shop. In addition to inside seating, the co ee shop has a walk-up window for outdoor ordering. Owner Christina James, a longtime co eeshop worker and cycling enthusiast, said the shop’s name has a dual meaning for co ee fans and cyclists. To baristas, “pull through” means to pull a shot from an espresso machine. However, cyclists also use the term “pull through” to describe when a group of cyclists is riding together, and someone from the back of the group “pulls through” to take their turn in the front, James said. James said the shop is intended to appeal to not just cyclists, but anyone who frequents the White Rock Lake area, including runners, dog walkers and families. “There’s not really much over on this side of town, or at least on this side of the lake, that people can walk to,” James said. “It’s kind of a dead spot, so I’m trying to ll that void.” RELOCATIONS 10 Leslie’s Pool Supplies relocated its Lake Highlands store to 9100 N. Central Expressway, Ste. 145. The new location opened in late February after the previous location at 8041 Walnut Hill Lane, Ste. 800, closed in September. The swimming pool supply chain store sells pool equipment, pool and spa chemicals, cleaning accessories, and water toys. 214-363-9229. https://lesliespool.com CLOSINGS 11 Fuzzy’s Taco Shop at 6760 Abrams Road, Ste. 101, Dallas, has closed.

The shop serves a variety of co ee drinks made with Cultivar Co ee, a Dallas-based co ee roasting company. It also o ers pastries from Leila Bakery & Cafe, a local business in East Dallas, and tea from Rakkasan Tea Co., a local tea vendor. James said she plans to o er other health-conscious options from locally sourced small businesses. She hopes to o er beer and wine in the future, once she gets the licensing to do so. The shop o ers ve specialty drinks with cycling- or running-themed names: Belgian Knee Warmer, Hero Dirt, Runner’s Refresh, Pantani’s Pick- Me-Up and Wake the Wa e. James said she originally planned to open the shop by summer 2021, but she ended up delaying the opening several times due to licensing and permitting issues, in addition to con icts with her contractor. The co ee shop does not have a website yet. 469-668-2663.

Peterson Management Group, the company that owns Blue Goose, cited a failure to reach a lease agreement with the new owners of the building as the reason for closing. In a Facebook post, Blue Goose wrote it is looking for potential new locations in the area to move into. Opened in 1984, the Blue Goose location at 2905 Greenville Ave. was the rst for the chain, which now has six other North Texas locations. www.bluegoosecantina.com
