Larry Singleton Jr., the African American co-owner of Dallas-based boutique Private Selection, is proud to announce the successful acquisition of the largest historic building in the heart of downtown Burkburnett, Texas. The property, originally built in 1920, has been acquired after a successful 3-year rent-to-own agreement, marking a significant milestone for Singleton, a native of Burkburnett, and for the town’s future.
As a visionary entrepreneur, Singleton has already made waves in Dallas with Private Selection, a boutique known for its curated collection of high-end sneakers and streetwear. Now, he’s shifting his focus back to his roots, with plans to restore and breathe new life into the historic bank building at 317 E 3rd Street in Burkburnett, Texas.“I’m incredibly honored to have the opportunity to invest in my hometown. Acquiring this historic property is not just about business for me—it’s about preserving a piece of our local history and providing a space that will spark revitalization in this community,” Singleton said. “Growing up here, I always envisioned bringing something special to Burkburnett, and now I have the opportunity to do just that.”
The building itself holds rich historical significance. Constructed over a century ago, it has served as a local dealership during the rise of the automobile in what was once the biggest oil boom town in the United States. Singleton plans to restore the property with a focus on retaining its architectural integrity while creating a space that fosters local commerce and focuses on community engagement.
Singleton is singlehandedly leading this large-scale restoration project in Burkburnett, and his success story is a beacon of inspiration. The journey from boutique owner in Dallas to real estate investor in his hometown symbolizes the entrepreneurial spirit and determination that drives progress in communities across Texas.
“I want this project to serve as an example for young entrepreneurs, especially those from small towns like Burkburnett,” Singleton added. “This building will not only make a positive economic impact, but it will also give the community something to be proud of — a symbol of resilience.”
Singleton’s future plans for the building are currently under wraps but promise to serve both business and community needs. As he works to secure historical status for the building, the acquisition marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Burkburnett downtown area, one driven by innovation, respect for history, and a vision for the future.
