One of the restaurant’s signature categories is its protein bowls, which combine greens, grains, and a choice of protein. Its popular teriyaki chicken bowl can be served with forbidden rice, brown rice, or sweet potato hash.
Other signature menu items mentioned by the company include the Citrus Thai Salad and Coconut Chia Pudding.
For people looking for a quick meal around CityLine Market, the concept is designed around health-focused and convenient food rather than a traditional full-service restaurant experience.
Original ChopShop’s DFW Connection
Original ChopShop has an established history in North Texas.
The company was founded in Scottsdale in 2013 and moved its headquarters to Plano in 2016. It made its DFW debut in 2018 with a location in Las Colinas.
The Richardson opening continues the brand’s expansion across Texas and the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
The new restaurant will open at 10 a.m. on September 23. After opening, its regular hours will be 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.
There will also be an opening promotion. The first 50 customers in line who purchase a breakfast entrée, bowl, salad, or sandwich will receive an Original ChopShop tote bag.
Customers who download the restaurant’s app and spend at least $7 within 20 days of registering will also receive 30 days of $3-off rewards, according to the information provided by the restaurant.
What This Means for Richardson and CityLine Market
CityLine Market continues to be an important destination for shopping, dining, and everyday services in Richardson, and the addition of Original ChopShop gives residents another fast-casual food option along East Renner Road.
From a local real estate perspective, I pay attention to these types of business openings because they help tell the broader story of what is happening in individual DFW communities. New restaurants and businesses can add convenience and activity to established commercial areas, although I would not automatically translate one restaurant opening into a prediction about home prices or property values.
For buyers considering Richardson, it is useful to look beyond the house itself and understand what is available around the areas where they may eventually live. Dining, shopping, transportation, employment, schools, parks, and other amenities can all be part of evaluating a location.
For homeowners, these local changes are also worth following because understanding what is happening in your community can provide useful context when evaluating your property and the surrounding market.
According to the updated CultureMap Dallas article and information provided in the restaurant’s release, Original ChopShop’s Richardson location is scheduled to open September 23, 2026, at CityLine Market.
