Also operated by sta at the McKinney Flour Mill, a bistro-style cafe is set to open in early 2025. Bresnahan said. The fast casual cafe concept will o er breakfast and lunch fare, such as sandwiches and wraps. “You can come in and get some co ee and something to eat for breakfast, and sit here and visit with someone, or just do work on a laptop,” Bresnahan said.

Work on the transformation project to the property is set to begin in early 2025, Bresnahan said, noting that he expects a multi-year construction process.
