"We are thrilled to launch 60 Reasons To Shop Coppell in honor of Coppell's upcoming 60th anniversary," says Anita Stumbo, CEO/President of JustCoppell.com. "Coppell offers immeasurable opportunities with its rich landscapes, parks and recreational facilities, blue ribbon schools, and wide variety of dining, retail, commercial, and residential neighborhoods. Our intent is to showcase these enormous amenities and resources and serve as a portal to the businesses and services offered here."
The City of Coppell was incorporated in 1955 and has matured over the past 60 years from a once-tiny farming village to one of the most affluent and vibrant communities in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Coppell registered only 1,728 residents and 8 businesses in 1970 but quickly experienced massive growth after the opening of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. By 1980 the population had grown to 3,826 residents and that figure continued to rise to 16,881 in 1990 and 35,958 in 2000 to the current population of 39,180 residents.
Coppell continues to play an integral role in the growth and development of the north DFW corridor. Its strong commercial base of warehouses and transportation centers along the Freeport Parkway corridor with several national headquarters include CiCi's Pizza, Mannatech and The Container Store as well as numerous shipping and distribution facilities including Amazon, Samsung, NAPA Auto Parts, and Glazier Foods.
"We have planned a year-long celebration to connect Coppell businesses with the local community and to encourage folks to shop local as part of Coppell's 60th Anniversary celebration," says Stumbo. “Coppell is a great family-friendly community and an exceptional place to live, work, dine and play. Every dollar spent here circulates many times throughout the community by fueling the local economy, creating jobs, funding city services and schools, and promoting quality economic development."
