Guide: West 8th
Still Open. Still Serving. Still Worth the Visit: Supporting Businesses on West 8th Street
Construction can be a sign of progress, but we know it can also bring temporary challenges for the businesses that make our downtown vibrant. Along West 8th Street, local entrepreneurs continue to open their doors every day, welcoming customers with the same dedication and pride that define Fort Worth’s spirit.
Current construction in the area is tied to the rebuilding of the Sandman Hotel, a project anticipated to reopen later this year and bring renewed energy and activity to the corridor. While progress is underway, the businesses along West 8th remain open and ready to serve customers throughout the process.
At Downtown Fort Worth, Inc., we want to make sure the community knows one important thing:
these businesses are open, ready to serve, and appreciative of your support.
