SHERMAN, Texas (KXII) – Austin-based Tex-Mex chain Chuy\u2019s has filed a site plan with the city\u2019s planning and zoning office for a possible location in Sherman.<\/p>\n
The request is scheduled to be heard by the planning and zoning committee on Sept. 22.<\/p>\n
The closest Chuy\u2019s is currently in Frisco, about a 50-minute drive for residents. If approved, the chain could move to a lot near Texas Roadhouse, IHOP and Nautilus Family Fitness, off Highway 75.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been rumors kind of floating around the city for the past probably six months at this point that Chuy\u2019s was interested in bringing a location here,\u201d Nate Strauch, Sherman Communications Manager, said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we can confirm now that they have actually filed a site plan with our planning and zoning office. So that will be heard by the planning zoning committee on September 22nd,\u201d Strauch said.<\/p>\n
Strauch said the hearing is typically the first step in developing a piece of property.<\/p>\n
Chuy\u2019s ranked as one of the most requested restaurants in a Sherman restaurant survey conducted in 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo a lot of people very excited that they\u2019re finally taking steps to bring a location here to Sherman, which would be the only location in between, I believe, Oklahoma City or Tulsa and the DFW area,\u201d Strauch said.<\/p>\n
Strauch said the development would be handled entirely by a private party, meaning the city has no control over when construction would start.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it remains to be seen. This is still a few weeks out from even having a hearing,\u201d Strauch said. \u201cSo when they would start construction or when that restaurant might be open, just too soon to say.\u201d<\/p>\n
Texoma resident Marie Childers said she is looking forward to the possibility. Childers, who lives just outside Bonham, said she comes to Sherman once or twice a week and has never eaten at Chuy\u2019s but has heard about the restaurant, including its jalapeno ranch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited about it,\u201d Childers said.<\/p>\n
\u201cChuy\u2019s would be great and I\u2019m looking forward to it,\u201d Childers said.<\/p>\n
Childers said she considers the proposed site a good location.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s a great location,\u201d Childers said. \u201cAs soon as they finish this construction over here, it would be great where we can get in here without any problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
