The retail landscape in Dallas is undoubtedly thriving, much to the chagrin of friends from Houston who often express their envy over the city’s ability to attract luxury brands and innovative retail experiences.
This spring, Galleria Dallas became a hot spot for shoppers with the buzz surrounding the opening of POP MART, which is touted as a ‘market-leading character-based entertainment company’ and a ‘global champion of designer toy culture.’
Long lines formed throughout the expansive shopping center, as eager fans clamored for the latest Labubus toys, demonstrating the anticipation and excitement surrounding this latest addition.
Located on Level 3 near Center Court, POP MART has quickly become a must-visit destination in Dallas, proving that the fanfare for this store shows no signs of diminishing anytime soon.
Another notable opening took place at NorthPark Center, where Golden Goose debuted their third Forward Store in the United States.
With similar locations launched in New York City and Miami, this innovative concept reflects the brand’s commitment to responsible practices and product preservation.
Golden Goose aims to reinvent retail experiences with their REPAIR and REMAKE services, inviting customers to refurbish products from any brand, thereby giving them a second life.
The Forward Store also features a myriad of unique offerings, including a bespoke program, cobbler’s corner, music room, and a ‘Con Amor Corner,’ making it not just a shop, but a creative experience.
Looking ahead, Galleria Dallas has announced an exciting future addition: Netflix House is set to open its doors at the end of 2025.
This permanent destination for Netflix fans will showcase immersive experiences influenced by popular shows like Stranger Things and Squid Game.
In addition to the entertainment experiences, Netflix House will include NETFLIX BITES, an onsite restaurant, as well as a game room known as Netflix RePLAY and an exclusive merchandise shop.
Dallasites can take pride in being the first to host this innovative concept, as Philadelphia will see a similar opening concurrently, with Las Vegas scheduled for 2027.
The wellness brand Alo, beloved by social media influencers, will also join the Galleria Dallas roster in late fall.
Positioned on Level 1 next to Sephora, this new location will make it incredibly convenient for shoppers to acquire Alo’s acclaimed leggings and skincare products.
Offering a combination of fashion and function, Alo caters to both men and women with their stylish “studio-to-street” clothing and athletic gear.
In a surprising twist, Milanese brand La DoubleJ will make its Texas debut at Highland Park Village this September, marking its second U.S. store.
Known for its bold patterns and vibrant colors, La DoubleJ aligns perfectly with Dallas’ appreciation for extravagant prints and entertaining styles.
The brand offers a lifestyle collection that includes everything from Italian-crafted dinnerware to Murano glassware, and of course, it’s famous for its standout swishy dresses thoughtfully trimmed in feathers.
Also set to open this fall at Highland Park Village is Miu Miu, recognized as Prada’s fashionable counterpart.
This store will be Miu Miu’s first location in Texas, featuring a selection that includes ready-to-wear clothing, handbags, accessories, and more, further showcasing how the brand effectively channels the resurgence of 1990s trends among Gen Z consumers.
For those looking for charm, a $1,490 Beau bag charm will be available for purchase as part of the brand’s enticing offerings.
Additionally, Dallas-based boutique Forty Five Ten is expanding into Fort Worth, with plans to launch mid-September at 3220 W. Seventh Street.
Celebrating the spirit and style of Fort Worth, this new location will feature women’s apparel, fine jewelry, accessories, and home decor, along with a dining option, Cafe Mirador, which will mirror the success of Dallas’ Mirador but in a smaller, more intimate setting.
