I'm pretty sure the Galleria Nordstrom doesn't have a Collectors section anymore. That's what I mean when I say they got rid of all their designer selection. I used to see Prada bags as I walked into the Galleria, these days I don't. They used to have YSL, Burberry, and Prada sections in the handba...

To address your last point, I suspect it's a combination of 2 factors at play. 1. Delusions of grandeur. Because they still have Nordstrom and a few luxury boutiques, they're under the impression that they can charge a premium on rent as other stores and shoppers alike are beating down the door to ...

Stonebriar has really stepped up it's game. A lot of the local (generic) stores have gone to make way for trendy national retailers. I still have faith in Galleria, they just need to find the right recipe for success. I wish they’d give it a refresh so it doesn’t feel like I’m stepping back into 20...

One last thing: I'm at the point where I dread coming into this thread whenever there's a new post. Other than the recent Uniqlo announcement (and the wind has even been taken out of that since they're also opening at Parks Mall & Stonebriar), it's been nothing but depressing updates whether it...

There’s no way Cotopaxi was meant to be permanent, they kept the same storefront as Apricot Lane. Eye Candy wasn’t a big chain though, think their other location was in the mid-range wing of Houston’s Galleria. Well, it was more than a seasonal popup. Perhaps a test-run which apparently failed. Agr...

Just to add a bit more context, in the past year, Galleria Dallas has added and lost the following stores: New to Galleria Dallas: 3.6.5 (Local?) Kittenish (stayed briefly; see Departed Galleria Dallas list below) 3:16 Collection (Local) KPop Trove (Local) Knots & Loops (Local) Deseri (Local) D...

Why would they close a profitable store? The only reason I could imagine it wouldn’t be profitable is the rent rate. Express has stores in North East and Parks I can’t imagine those perform better than the Galleria So, you DO have some doubt the Galleria is a profitable location... ;-) It might be ...

You guys think any of these chains would ever open in the CBD? I would love to see it now that more hotels are being built. Having more of these chains there would be so beneficial for the stores that are already there (Neiman Marcus, Forty Five Ten). I know not many people live downtown but it cou...

Etro is now open. Some updates on closed stores: Ugg has also closed their Houston store which leaves them without a presence in Texas and they have left Florida as well, so it seems as if the NorthPark closure was part of a larger downsizing strategy. AllSaints has also closed their Austin locatio...

Express is closing close to 100 stores and all of their UpWest locations due to bankruptcy. This location, while being profitable (I assume), is located between the newer NorthPark store and the new location being built at Stonebriar probably seems duplicative.

They have been on Knox Street (in a part of the old Chili’s space) for a few years now. I’m wondering if they will keep both locations.

Houston has two. I assume so.

Marine Layer is now open and Etro at HP Village is closed, so I imagine their NP store will open soon.

Interesting location. That used to be the old Godiva so it makes some sense.

Lego definitely needs to move to the second floor now that the area around Macy's has become higher end on the first floor. If they want the upstairs Macy's section to be family stores then Lego should be there. I could see them moving to Park Lane to be closer to American Girl - would be nice for t...

Steve Madden is moving upstairs into the old Nicole Kwon spot. Will we see Lego, Aveda, Peloton or even James Avery move as well? Those don’t seem to fit in with the transformation of this section of the mall to trendy clothing brands. I like Pelaton there being close to Nike and Vuori. What I need...

Still drives me crazy that so many of the restaurant spaces are still vacant. At this point throw a Mi Cocina into one of them, I don't care. They need a good Tex Mex spot!

This was new to me, even though I've lived in DFW for 20 years. Per reddit, the Galleria used to have a walking track on the roof of the mall, surrounding the glass roof. You can still see remnants of it in Google maps. There is also an indoor basketball half court up there on the roof, both of whi...

Golden Goose is moving to the old Michael Kors spot.

At least in my experience it’s been more expensive, maybe it’s just not meant for me so the options I’m looking for in particular are more specialised, and so they’re a little more limited. My Prime subscription is probably a contributing factor also. But in my experience the locations I’ve been to ...

Why don’t some of NorthPark’s luxury brands build two story stores? With Louis Vuitton and Gucci having large exteriors on the CenterPark side these locations definitely could have two floors. Maybe Dallas isn’t the right place for that though. Would be nice if the ones facing the exterior side woul...

Could The Webster be a new tenant coming soon? They just announced a store in Atlanta, and there's already one in Houston.

We've known that. Funny they talk about NorthPark as their first location when Willow Bend used to have one pre-covid. Nice to have them back in Plano. Was Willow Bend the first location though? They had it before Aritzia began to expand rapidly. It coexisted with the NorthPark location for a littl...

Looks like Houston’s Galleria is turning the second floor above the ice rink into more luxury stores, it’s quite vacant but there’s Amiri and Dolce Gabbana there now. Hopefully NorthPark will follow suit and expand.

Yeah houston is only 5,000 square foot. The dallas one is 6500 square foot. Houston is no match.

Wonder if they plan on expanding the Galleria store. Gucci started on that once they expanded the NorthPark store.

I guess the Alley is now called the “newly designed outdoor plaza” according to Instagram updates. The Alley probably came from the restaurant that was once there.

I hope Macy's decides to blur the lines between their stores and Bloomingdales. Could you imagine if Macy's began carrying even nicer (maybe even designer) brands at their top locations, similar to what Nordstrom's already doing?

The West Village has had one for a long time also. Even Willow Bend is adding hotels to the property of all places. Point is, NorthPark gotta start making changes, like, yesterday. Hopefully this loan will help with that.

Putting a hotel on the lot along Boedecker street makes so much sense to me that I don't understand why they haven't yet. What other hotel would be able to say they have an Eataly outside its lobby? It's such an easy sell. Then to the west you'd have an overlook of the cemetary. Not being morbid or...

Exactly why the restaurants need to have direct connections to the mall with menus to draw people in, etc Would provide synergy to the mall too.

Finally went out there for the first time today, and I do understand the isolated feeling.
