Renowned for its booming Hospitality, Tourism, and Retail Trade, the City of Grapevine is built under a tried and true Texan value of being a good neighbor to anyone and everyone. That means making it easy to get here and exciting to stay, whether you come by plane, train, or automobile.

Grapevine sits in the saddle of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, equidistant from two of the most recognizable cities in the great state of Texas. Seven major highways converge on historic Main Street, where passionate travelers can hitch a train to and from the heart of Fort Worth or right onto the grounds of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. An extension of the new TEXRail commuter line will connect Main Street to Dallas in 2024.

The majority of DFW International Airport rests within the geopolitical boundaries of Grapevine, Texas. That makes our City the first step into Texas for millions of business and leisure travelers every year. DFW is Grapevine's largest employer, with a footprint larger than Manhattan! 

A top-5 U.S. Airport for Freight and Passenger airlines, DFW puts the whole world on Grapevine's doorstep. Especially now that Terminal B is just a 10-minute train ride from Main Street via the TEXRail commuter line with direct connection to North Dallas in 2024.

Grapevine's daytime population far exceeds the 50,000 residents who call our City home. The average commute into Grapevine takes only 23 minutes, which grants employers access to some 1.2 million skilled employers from all across DFW. You'll find any and every talent imaginable here in north Texas, from engineers and programmers to management professionals and talented chefs.

Grapevine provides an ideal consumer market for just about any product or service. The cost of living is lower than in most major cities while median wages exceed the national average, resulting in a customer base with real spending power. Paired with our ideal market location, this reliable cash flow helps to elevate retailers like Grapevine Mills to the upper echelon of their sector.

High-end retail, entertainment, and community resources come together at Grapevine Mills Mall! In the top 1% of American malls for foot traffic, the Mills have successfully married luxury brands like Kate Spade and Michael Kors with first-to-market entertainment options like LEGOLand and Meow Wolf, as well as a visionary public/private partnership that sees Grapevine's youth sports programs incorporated into the property thanks to Fieldhouse USA.

This outstanding regional mall is proof not only that major retailers can thrive here in DFW, but also that the city offers a uniquely powerful partnership for innovative companies like SIMON.

In a City with a legacy like Grapevine's, you can bet on a certain amount of organic charm. At the turn of the century, City officials committed to and invested in a vision of our community as the meeting place of tradition and innovation. Now, a refurbished and nationally recognized Historic Main Street filled with authentic brick storefronts draws millions of visitors to Grapevine every year.

That's good news for restaurants and retailers on Main Street, of course. But it also means a ready audience and a flourishing market for businesses of all shapes and sizes: from Hospitality to Events & Entertainment and all of the associated support services. 

With so many things to see and do in Grapevine, it makes sense that the Hospitality industry would flourish here. National and International travels come to shop, wine, and dine our City, and the choice of multiple top-notch hotels and convention space make Grapevine a great place to host training sessions, conventions, and workshops. 

Luxury brands like the Gaylord Texan, Great Wolf Lodge, and the newly opened Hotel Vin give every guest a unique experience, making this the perfect market not only to bring folks together but also to build a business that can make the most of the city's heavy foot traffic.

Almost a quarter of Grapevine residents hold a job managing, organizing, or overseeing an office. Over half of the workforce holds an associate's degree or higher, making the city an ideal place to open an office hub or supporting business.
