FEATURED IMPACT NOWOPEN Willie Meshack's BBQ is now open in Plano. The family-run restaurant opened its new location in February at 200 Coit Road, Ste. 112 near Central Market. The company is owned and operated by Willie Meshack Jr.; his wife, Roberta Plaza; and her mother, Yolande Plaza. Roberta said they decided to open after moving to Plano last year. “Plano [businesses] kind of feed o each other,” she said. “Everything is nice up here.” Roberta said that the concept behind the restaurant was to balance traditional, smoke-style, craft Texas barbecue with Trinidadian-style sides. Roberta’s family also owns the Caribbean Cabana, a restaurant at the Dallas Farmers Market. Customers can choose between prime dishes as well as a full bar, according to a company release. It will be part of the Preston Park development, and Refined Hospitality Concepts CEO Robert Hall said he is excited to bring Sfereco to Plano diners. The Plano location will be Sfereco’s fourth location after its restau- rants in Downtown Dallas, Lewisville and the River Walk in Flower Mound. A fifth Sfereco location is also planned in the new Mercer Crossing Boardwalk in Farmers Branch later this year, according to the company release. The Plano loca- tion will feature a private event space as well as a patio that can accommodate up to 50 diners. 469-312-3009 (Lewisville location). www.sfereco.com 9 Hemp cannabis store Zar will open at 2235 W. 15th St., Plano.
