frutilicious-set-to-delight-forney-with-fresh-fruit-treats

A new venture aimed at transforming the snack scene in Forney, Texas, is on the horizon. The husband and wife team of Ricardo and Sofia Jimenez are preparing to launch Frutilicious, a shop inspired by traditional Mexican fruterias. Located in the Fountain Shopping Center, the shop is slated to open sometime in August 2023.

Initially introduced as a pop-up, Frutilicious is gaining momentum as the Jimenez family transitions to their first permanent location at 16401 FM 548. The family’s goal is to bring a diverse array of fresh fruit-based snacks to the local community, filling a notable gap in the market.

Ricardo Jimenez, who has a solid background in marketing, expressed confidence that the demand for Frutilicious will be substantial. “There’s a lot of Mexican fruterias in Dallas, but not in Forney. My family would get a craving and we’d end up going through two hours of Dallas traffic. We knew there had to be a demand,” he stated.

The menu at Frutilicious promises to cater to a variety of tastes, featuring an extensive selection of fruit, freshly crafted smoothies, and invigorating juices. In addition to these refreshing options, patrons can indulge in traditional favorites such as elotes, churros, Takis, and crepes.

With a focus on quality and freshness, the Jimenez family aims to create a welcoming atmosphere that encourages community engagement. The opening of Frutilicious not only marks a new chapter for the family but also aims to enrich the local dining scene.

As the launch date approaches, excitement is building among potential customers eager to explore the vibrant flavors Frutilicious has to offer. The Jimenez family is committed to delivering an authentic experience that reflects their heritage and passion for good food.

For those in and around Forney, the upcoming arrival of Frutilicious represents more than just a new place to eat; it signifies a fresh opportunity to enjoy beloved snacks without the need to travel far. As the summer unfolds, residents can look forward to savoring the delightful offerings of Frutilicious in the heart of their community.
