Business is Booming in Wylie Wylie Economic Development Corporation continues to focus on strengthening and developing a robust business base in Wylie. Industrial, manufacturing and commercial businesses alike have decided that Wylie is THE place to be! What does this mean for you? Strong and thriving businesses enrich our community with job opportunities, diverse dining and shopping options and infuse the local economy with property and sales tax support. All good news for Wylie citizens! Chick-Fil-A opened last May at the corner of Highway 78 & Cooper Drive. Schlotzsky’s Austin Eatery and Fish-n-Tails Oyster Bar joined them last fall. And Breaking News – Whataburger will join them this year! Just around the corner on FM 544, Wylie’s first French cuisine restaurant, Josephine’s, began serving Wylie area residents this summer. A full-service restaurant featuring a farm-to-table concept that procures the bulk of its product from local growers and ranchers. Pet Supply Plus, Credit Union of Texas and BURGERim all joined Woodbridge Centre’s Kroger anchored development in 2019. Woodbridge Crossing welcomed ULTA, Skechers, Great American Cookie Company & Marble Slab Creamery, Bath & Body Works along with the newest addition, Mod Pizza, which opened in October. Industrial and manufacturing business is booming in Wylie as well. Deanan Gourmet Popcorn expanded and consolidated its operations in Wylie, adding over 10,000 sf to its production facility on Windco Circle. Regency Business Park, which welcomed DCU’s 10,000+ square foot facility this past year, has caught the attention of other businesses looking to relocate to Wylie. Cardinal Strategies broke ground this fall and has plans to hire engineering professionals to expand their growing business. Historic Downtown Wylie continues to flourish and attract new businesses like Frankie’s Mexican Cuisine, Bold Barbecue, OMG Creamery and the reopening of La Joya Mexican Restaurant. As if you needed another reason to love Historic Downtown Wylie, you now have more reasons to spend a little more time in our unique downtown area. Last but not least, all eyes are focused on Collin College’s Wylie campus. Construction is well underway on FM 1378 and the campus is on track to open its doors to students in the Fall of 2020. New businesses are finding Wylie a great place to call home, and … we couldn’t agree more!
