Originally opened in 1943 by World War II veteran Roy Pope, the neighborhood grocery was refurbished in 2020 and still features old butcher cases, but with a fresh look. In addition to the eat-in cafe, the store sells high-end goods from regional producers and wines curated by sommelier Mikey Riojas.

Operated by Chris Reale, Roy Pope Grocery also hosts events and accepts TCU Frog Bucks for students who need to snack.
