We had to road trip to Dallas this past weekend to take our dog to see a specialist vet in Lewisville Texas. So while we were there, we decided to try something that wasn't a typical chain restaurant and was unique to the area. Since the relatives we stayed with live in Coppell (and I also discovered I've been pronouncing the name of this town wrong my entire life the accent is on the second syllable, not the first. So it's cop-PELL, not COP-pell), we thought we'd head down the street a bit from their house and see what we could find.

Tom Thumb to cut 97 driver jobs as it shifts delivery to services such as DoorDash

Tom Thumb plans to permanently lay off 97 drivers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and shift to third-party delivery services as its online grocery business continues to grow.
“Our company has made the strategic decision to discontinue using our own home delivery fleet of trucks in several divisions,” including North Texas, said Christy Lara, spokeswoman for the Tom Thumb and Albertsons supermarket chains in Dallas. “We will transition that portion of our e-commerce operations to third-party logistics providers who specialize in that service.”
