A Shug\u2019s Bagels<\/a> shop is coming to the Arlington Heights section of Camp Bowie Boulevard.<\/p>\n At its April 15 meeting<\/a>, the Fort Worth Board of Adjustment approved a zoning variance for reduced side-yard setback that was brought on behalf of Shug\u2019s Bagels by representatives of the engineering firm Baird, Hampton & Brown. The board\u2019s approval allows the bagel company\u2019s project to move into the permitting phase.<\/p>\n Currently, two Shug\u2019s Bagels locations are in Dallas where the chain originated, and one in New Orleans. Further expansion is in process, with a shop in Austin opening next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Fort Worth location is slated to open in mid-2027. The offerings include a variety of bagel-based breakfast and lunch sandwiches.<\/p>\n Shug\u2019s founder Justin Shugrue is a Texas transplant from a New York City suburb where he spent his elementary and high school years. After high school, he attended the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University and upon graduation made Texas his home.\u00a0<\/p>\n Missing the bagel and bodega culture of New York, Shugrue created a business plan during his senior year in college for what would eventually become the first Shug\u2019s Bagels in Dallas near the SMU campus.<\/p>\n The Fort Worth shop will be located at 5101 Camp Bowie Blvd., in a triangular lot bounded on the other two sides by Pershing Avenue and Neville Street, in the same spot where the venerable Oasis Liquor store once operated.\u00a0<\/p>\n Shugrue told the Fort Worth Report that he intends to renovate and expand the existing building on the property and is currently working with the city on an acceptable way to preserve the Oasis sign that is a well-known landmark to westside residents.<\/p>\n \u201cI like to preserve the charm and history of the properties I move into,\u201d Shugrue said.<\/p>\n He said Fort Worth was an obvious next step.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI relentlessly listen to customer feedback, and a common request I get is to bring Shug\u2019s to Fort Worth,\u201d Shugrue said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fort Worth Board of Adjustment<\/p>\n Documenter: Doug Wilhelm<\/p>\n Date: April 15, 2026<\/p>\n To learn more about this meeting, click here<\/a>.

Lancaster Ave.<\/p>\n A full listing of the commercial and residential cases considered by the board is included in the agenda<\/a>.<\/p>\n The board was informed by city legal counsel that an appeal has been filed in district court for a case they denied at their March 18 meeting<\/a> for a stealth communication tower<\/a> proposed at Arlington Heights High School. The board members were instructed to refrain from speaking about the case outside of a formal meeting setting, otherwise they would need to recuse themselves from future deliberations on the topic.<\/p>\n Doug Wilhelm is a member of the Fort Worth Report Documenters<\/a> crew.
