RICHARDSON, Tex.–KDC has announced that Jasper's restaurant will join CityLine, the company's 186-acre mixed-use project in Richardson. The restaurant is scheduled to open this summer.

“The entertainment district is one of the most important parts of the overall CityLine development ,” Colin Fitzgibbons, KDC vice president, told GlobeSt.com.  “Jasper's sets the bar high in terms of dining options. We plan to focus on adding other unique dining selections, making CityLine the local and regional place to be.”

Jasper's, to be located at the corner of Plano Road and State Street, features a casual design with a “modern outdoor” theme and focuses on American regional cuisine. 

”When I first created the Jasper's concept, my goal was to develop a restaurant where guests could enjoy an unforgettable meal whether looking for a casual or high-end dining experience and that's exactly what I did,” says executive chef Kent Rathbun.  “Ten years later and three Jasper's restaurants operating in Plano, Austin and The Woodlands, Texas, the journey of creativity and growth has exceeded my expectations. Opening a fourth location in the Richardson area further advances my career goal and I am extremely excited about what the future holds.”

Additionally, the new Richardson location will offer an outdoor dining area and a bar and lounge.
