Don’t just say West 7th; it’s now officially Crockett Row at West 7th

The busy West 7th retail development in Fort Worth has seen lots of changes over the years, as restaurants and shops have come and gone.

Now the area itself is getting a new name: Crockett Row at West 7th.

Vestar, which manages the bevy of restaurants and shops near Fort Worth’s museum district, said Tuesday it’s rebranding the area with the name of the street that runs through its center for three blocks between University Drive and Foch Street.

“The Crockett Row brand will better distinguish the property’s popular restaurants, stores and events to continue to attract visitors, as well as the very best retail and dining concepts,” said Peter Jacobsen, senior vice president at The Woodmont Co., which partnered with Vestar on the rebranding.

The development is also adding two new tenants, Common Desk and C. H. Robinson, which will open later this year. That follows April’s announcement that West Elm, a furniture and home furnishings store operated by Williams-Sonoma, will open along West 7th this summer.

Common Desk is a local company that offers desks, private offices and conference rooms to freelancers, startups and small businesses. It plans to open in September in a 13,000-square-foot space at 2833 Crockett St.

C.H. Robinson is a third-party logistics provider that’s relocating its Fort Worth office to a 11,984-square-foot space at 812 Norwood in August.

The two office tenants will help diversify the development which has had several restaurants open and close in the past few years. In February, craft beer and burger restaurant, Brewsters, closed.
