Aerial images from the 1930s shows the area before it saw significant urban development. At the time, the surrounding land was largely undeveloped, marked by open fields and rural landscapes. Fast-forward to today, and the site is surrounded by modern establishments and busy highways, showcasing the rapid urbanization of Duncanville.

The new Empire Buffet will span over 11,830 square feet, featuring modern installations, including a gas line, electric setup, and a fully equipped air conditioning system. Once complete, this restaurant will likely serve as a dining hotspot for the local community and visitors traveling along Highway 67.
