Why people are moving to Dallas in 2022!
During this past year we’ve seen a lot of people relocating. Some families/individuals have relocated to being near family, new jobs, loss of jobs, more opportunity, cost of living etc. Texas was one of the states people relocated to, especially coming for the east and west coast. In DFW alone, the population grew approximately 120,000 during the pandemic and that doesn’t include births.
Dallas is known for their scenery, landmarks, business opportunities, and being a family friendly city. It has also been said that it is a great place for young professionals!

Dallas had the first frozen margarita machine. The concept was inspired by the 7-Eleven slurpee machine. The first frozen margaritas machine was an altered ice cream machine at Marino’s (a Mexican restaurant in Dallas).
