EōS Fitness Plans New Gym at Former Garland Kroger

The EōS Fitness Garland project would turn a former Kroger into a 46,474-square-foot gym at Garland Gateway. A new state registration puts the renovation at approximately $3.49 million, giving the longtime grocery property at 532 W. Interstate 30 a defined next use.

The club forms part of Fidelis Realty Partners’ redevelopment of the shopping center near Broadway Boulevard and Interstate 30. EōS already lists the location on its website and targets a 2028 opening.

EōS Fitness Garland plans a former Kroger conversion

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation registration describes a tenant renovation of an existing structure for a health and fitness club. Its 46,474-square-foot total includes a 2,561-square-foot mezzanine; the mezzanine is not additional floor area beyond that figure.

The October 16, 2026 filing lists an estimated construction cost of $3,485,550 and names James E. Stroh, Architect, Inc. as the design firm. It identifies Alan Hassenflu as the owner contact and Brittany Arquette in the tenant field.

The owner appears as “Garland Retail Associates, LCC” in the registration. That is the filing’s spelling; the legal entity suffix has not been independently confirmed.

Work would adapt the existing building for fitness use. The registration describes renovation rather than demolition or a new ground-up gym, and it does not establish that construction has begun.

From grocery shopping to workouts

The Kroger at this address closed in July 2025. SprawlTag’s July 2025 property-history report documented the closure after more than four decades of grocery service.

For people who knew the supermarket, the gym would bring a different reason to visit a familiar address. The change replaces grocery shopping with exercise and training while retaining an existing commercial building.

The EōS Fitness Garland proposal also gives the former anchor space a named incoming business. The state filing adds the renovation area, design firm, budget and construction estimates to the company’s earlier announcement.

Garland Gateway’s redevelopment takes shape

Fidelis Realty Partners says it acquired Garland Gateway in 2026. The property previously operated as Beltline I-30 Shopping Center, at the southwest corner of Interstate 30 and Broadway Boulevard.

The developer identifies EōS Fitness and Northern Tool + Equipment as anchors within its redevelopment plans. Smaller shop spaces and a pad opportunity make up other portions of the property.

The developer’s site plan labels EōS Fitness as Building B at 532 W. Interstate 30. Northern Tool occupies the Building A designation at 584 W. Interstate 30.

Fidelis Realty Partners’ Garland Gateway marketing plan identifies EōS Fitness in Building B and Northern Tool + Equipment in Building A. The diagram does not establish that every tenant is operating or that all redevelopment work is complete.

The plan helps locate the gym within the center, but it is a marketing document rather than a final construction approval. Tenant labels and available spaces should not be read as proof that every business is open or every improvement is finished.

A site with an earlier entertainment history

The shopping center area has a history beyond Kroger. SprawlTag traces the broader property to the Belt Line–67 Drive-In, reporting operation from 1965 to 1973. The Garland Landmark Society also documents the South Garland theater, identifying it as the Belt Line Drive-In, later renamed the 67 Drive-In.

The theater’s precise footprint has not been independently matched to the future gym space. Its connection belongs to the area’s broader history, while the documented grocery-to-gym conversion remains the immediate change.

EōS Fitness Garland joins the Texas expansion

In its July 2026 expansion announcement, EōS listed Broadway Boulevard and Interstate 30 among nine newly signed leases. That announcement preceded the October construction registration.

The company reported 30 operating Texas gyms and more than 225 locations open or planned nationwide at the time. Those figures describe its July announcement, not a newly verified October store count.

EōS markets a large-club concept that combines strength equipment, group exercise and training options. Garland adds an existing retail building to that network of planned locations.

TCM has also covered EōS Fitness’s planned conversion of a former LA Fitness in San Antonio. That project reuses an existing gym, while Garland would change a former grocery space into a fitness destination.

What the Garland gym page lists

The official Garland location page lists planned 24/7 operation, group fitness, strength training and The EōS Yard among its offerings. It also identifies free weights and strength-training equipment.

Those listings point to a mix of individual workouts and organized classes. The photograph illustrates an existing EōS training area; it does not show equipment already installed in Garland.

The location page provides the basis for these planned amenities. The final layout and class schedule remain details for the company to confirm as opening approaches.

When will EōS Fitness open in Garland?

The EōS Fitness Garland construction registration estimates work from December 18, 2026, through October 18, 2027. The company separately identifies 2028 as its opening target.

These dates describe different milestones: estimated construction completion and the company’s intended opening year. EōS has not announced a specific opening month or day on the Garland page.

The project remains registered, and the construction cost is an estimate for the gym work rather than the full Garland Gateway redevelopment. For the former Kroger, the proposal offers a next chapter built around workouts in a space long associated with weekly shopping.
