Restaurant Group Eyes Argyle for Expansion By Mark Miller, Contributing Writer
Five years after Argyle resident John (Sparky) Pearson and his Radical Hospitality Group partners opened their first restaurant in town, the team continues to grow and innovate. Diners visiting Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, Earl’s 377 Pizza, Bumbershoot Barbeque and Kimzey’s Coffee at the “foodie corner� of FM 407 and Hwy 377 can now order across those menus no matter which restaurant they are sitting in, or even off-site with an expanded catering service.

Drivers traveling north on Flower Mound Road may whiz past the lone, old yellow house at the intersection with Quail Run, without realizing that many layers of “makeup� cover the original 158-year-old log home. It stands by itself with multiple shiny new buildings now-- or set to be-- rising nearby as neighbors. A high-end residential development, Town Lake, is well underway across Flower Mound Road from the cabin. Nearby, the southern corners of the FM 1171 and Flower Mound Road intersection will house Founders Classical Academy, while a large Catholic Church is approved for the opposite corner. In fact, until 2015 when it was discovered as part of a pre-demolition to construct new
housing, the secret log house was going to be the site of new construction, too. The Gibson-Grant Log House was named by the Town of Flower Mound in recognition of the original owner, William Gibson and owner Curtis Grant who donated the house to the town. In 2015, Grant, a Flower Mound developer, bought the property with the intent of demolishing the existing house and subdiSee CABIN on Page A23
