Dallas, TX
Dallas-area businesses look forward to
DALLAS – Messi-madness will fill the Cotton Bowl, but it’s also driving a fan following that Dallas-area businesses hope to benefit from.
Considered to be the best player in the world, Lionel Messi’s Inter-Miami squad comes to Dallas’ Cotton Bowl Monday night. The operators of Fair Park know the magnitude of the game.
“When we do a major event, tens of millions of dollars impact the local economy,” said Brian Luallen, the CEO of Fair Park. “Let me give you an example, when Karol G played here last September, there were over $10 million in taxes generated for Texas, of which $2.5 million benefitted Dallas directly.”
Monday’s matchup is expected to generate 30,000-40,000 fans inside the Cotton Bowl. It’s the economic ripple effect of fans filling bars, restaurants, and hotels that scores a bigger goal for the Dallas region to host World Cup-level soccer.
“Messi is crazy,” said Jesus Nájera.
Nájera’s Oak Cliff sportswear shop is “futbol heaven”… as in soccer mania. And his small shop is seeing big business because one man is in town.
“They want to see Messi,” Nájera said. “Everybody wants to see Messi.”
Trey McNickle and Fletcher Byrd are two soccer fans Dallas-area businesses want to see a lot more of.
“I can’t wait,” said Byrd. “It’s Messi. Gotta see him. It’s my first time seeing him. I’ll wait in the rain, cold, sleet whatever. It’s Messi, so you gotta do it.”
“Best player to play the game,” McKickle said. “It’s kind of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see him.”

Arguments about the best doughnut shops can get heated. We have our own personal top 10 favorites. And we have issues with DoorDash’s list below. So, let’s dive right into this sweet, round confection with a hole in the middle.
For National Donut Day, which is Friday, June 5, for all those who celebrate, DoorDash has a roundup of the top 100-rated small and medium-sized donut shops on DoorDash. The list includes local businesses across 86 cities and 25 states.
To be considered for the Donut Day Dozens list, the bakery must be small or medium-sized, have fewer than 10 stores, and have at least 1,000 reviews. The shops with the highest average consumer ratings from April 2025 to April 2026 were chosen.
Of the 21 donut shops chosen across Texas, 13 are located in North Texas.
North Texas bakeries named best doughnuts
- Morning Donuts – Dallas, TX
- Baker’s Dozen Donuts – Cross Roads, TX
- Busy B’s Bakery – North Richland Hills, TX
- Donut House Plano – Plano, TX
- Donut King #3 – Fort Worth, TX
- Eagle Donuts – Crowley, TX
- Earnest Donuts – Lewisville, TX
- Four Seasons Donuts – Irving, TX
- Jin’s Donuts – Farmers Branch, TX
- Master Donut – The Colony, TX
- Stacy Donuts – McKinney, TX

A few misses
There are some obvious big misses here. Like La Rue in Trinity Groves, which apparently was left off because it has fewer than 1,000 reviews. We awarded this chef-driven shop Best Doughnuts in 2025 for pushing out top-tier confections every morning and a seasonal menu that will both win you over and break your heart. They’re also using only beef tallow in the fryers now.
And no Jarams? The shop on Preston Road has a 4.7 average rating on DoorDash, and it appears 4.8 was the cutoff. The family-owned Jarams is one of the best shops in Dallas.
As is Detour Donuts in Frisco. This is run by an ambitious young baker who draws long lines for themed doughnuts and a rotating menu.
Beyond North Texas …
The rest of the awarded donut shops were mostly located in Houston, with a sprinkle in San Antonio. Shops were listed in alphabetical order, and not with any sort of numbered ranking system.
