Berkley’s Market is set to open its newest neighborhood market location in Uptown at 2822 McKinney Ave. in Dallas, Texas (in the former Foxtrot Market space).
Slated to open this fall, the Uptown location will feature 4,100 square feet of space, including indoor seating and a spacious patio for guests to enjoy.
“At Berkley’s Market, our goal is to be the go-to spot in every neighborhood we serve,” said Zac Porter, founder of Berkley’s Market. “Whether it’s a morning coffee run, lunch or dinner to-go, stocking up their pantry and fridge, or a wine happy hour with friends, we want our customers to feel at home and know they can find everything they need in one place.”
The new McKinney Avenue location will build upon the market’s four main categories – prepared foods, coffee, groceries, beer and wine. However, it will also serve as a “test kitchen,” allowing the team to experiment with new prepared food offerings. Popular items will be rolled out to other locations, giving customers a first taste of the latest food and beverage creations.

“We’re leaning further into our prepared foods program here, while still offering our core favorites,” Porter said. “Our food quality is top-notch, and I’d put our coffee program up against anyone’s. We’ve partnered with La Colombe for our coffee since day one, and we’re proud to source pastries locally from La Casita and bagels from Shug’s.”
In addition to its selection of prepared foods, Berkley’s Market offers customers an array of gourmet goods, local items and conventional necessities. The market’s curated offerings are the result of ongoing conversations with customers, ensuring that the shelves are stocked with what the community wants and needs.
“We’re bringing back a local, neighborhood grocer to McKinney Avenue, in one of the most dynamic areas in Dallas,” Porter said. “And this location is perfect for us – it’s on the main thoroughfare, halfway between our other two stores, making it an ideal hub for our operations.”
Looking ahead, Berkley’s Market has plans for growth, with other new locations in the works. As part of this strategic expansion, Berkley’s Market has closed its stores in Oak Cliff and on Main Street, consolidating operations to the more central McKinney Avenue location. This move enhances accessibility for more customers and also positions the market to better serve the entire Dallas community.
