STAFFORD, Texas – The former Texas Instruments campus in Stafford is getting a big makeover, and it will include an In-N-Out Burger.
StreetLevel Investments broke ground as part of a press conference on Monday morning, revealing the old TI campus would be turned into a mixed-use development called "The Grid." It will feature stores, restaurants and entertainment. Fort Bend County and City of Stafford officials were on-hand for the announcement.
One of the first announcements was that the complex would feature an In-N-Out Burger, long rumored to be coming to the Houston area but never quite making it official before now.
The old TI campus announced its closure in 2012 after 45 years, according to documents on Stafford website.
