“Everyone loved it so much he and I just kept doing it. Cullen and I grilling burgers out front was born out of wanting a fun way to meet our customers, while launching our butcher case years ago,” Zac said. That’s how we set our product mixes, and how our special events, wine tastings, and BBQs came to be. “We’ve always tried to be good neighbors and give our customers what they want and need. Dallas founders Zac Porter along with his wife, Emily, and their friend, Cullen Potts, soon expanded to additional stores in downtown Dallas and Trammell Crow Center. The Highland Park Village store opened in 2015. The brand is in the process of finding a new location near the original store. For our Highland Park customers, this isn’t goodbye, it’s see you soon.” All of them have really enriched our lives beyond words. It’s been a great mix of neighbors, students, business people, industry folks – and some great patio dogs. “The community built over coffee, food, and wine have meant the world to all of us. Sales have been strong, but it is the friendships we made with our amazing customers, staff, and local vendors that have really been the best part of this whole journey,” said Emily Porter. “We have had a great run over the years in the Village. While the Highland Park Village store is closing, the downtown Dallas stores - in Trammel Crow Center and The Mercantile - will transition to Berkley’s Market on July 1 pending landlord approval, with a Berkley’s Market in Oak Cliff at 634 W Davis opening this summer.

We’ve had our eye on this building for over a year – it’s a beautiful space in the perfect location,” said co-founder Zac Porter. “We’re beyond excited to be coming back to the part of town where we began.
