Eat, Shop, Repeat

A bounty of Legacy West openings bring delicious luxury to Plano

A burger shop with a cult-like following and one of the country's chicest home decor stores were the first two official tenants to open at Legacy West, but they were only the beginning. Since Shake Shack and West Elm opened in March, Plano's newest shopping and dining destination has been ramping up its construction in anticipation of the Grand Opening Weekend on June 2-4.

The massive mixed-use center, located at the Tollway and Legacy Drive in Plano, has a list of coveted brands opening throughout May and June, bringing luxury goods, delectable eats, and valuable services to the area. This is in addition to Legacy Hall, the hot food hall concept from Front Burner Restaurants that's set to begin serving in fall 2017.

Kate Hudson’s athletic wear line Fabletics opened on April 27, and the month of May will see the arrival of menswear boutiques Peter Millar and Pockets and bohemian clothing brand Johnny Was (opening May 15).

After its booming success at Preston Center, a second North Texas location of True Food Kitchen will dish out healthy and delicious eats beginning May 23. If steak is more your craving, the first Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House in Collin County has executive chef Craig Walter running the kitchen starting on May 3.

Treat yourself with Sprinkles cupcakes beginning on May 31, or set aside time for pampering at Venetian Nail Spa. Take a spin around the Tesla showroom, the premium electric car manufacturer's second location in North Texas.

In June, Earls Kitchen + Bar, North Italia (June 27), and Mesero further expand the dining options. Let TUMI equip you with durable, fashionable luggage so you can travel the globe, but make sure to stop by Suitsupply first for a dapper wardrobe update.

And this is only the beginning. Dozens more shopping and dining options will open soon, along with the North American headquarters of Toyota and FedEx Office and the regional headquarters for JP Morgan Chase and Liberty Mutual. There are also luxurious residential options for those who just don't want to leave Legacy West. After visiting for the first time, you might not want to leave either.

Closure news

Neiman Marcus flagship store in downtown Dallas to close for good

Neiman Marcus

undefined

The iconic downtown Dallas location of luxury department store Neiman Marcus, at 1618 Main St., will close for good, the company says.

In a statement, parent company Saks Global said it planned to close the store on September 30, 2026 and focus on its NorthPark Center location in Dallas.

"As we continue to take steps to secure a strong future for Neiman Marcus, our optimized store footprint is aimed at aligning our go-forward presence with customer demand and preferences. After a thorough evaluation, we have made the difficult decision to close the Neiman Marcus Downtown Dallas store on September 30, 2026, and concentrate our resources where our customers prefer to shop.

"Dallas remains an incredibly important market for the Neiman Marcus brand, and our customers in the city and across the suburbs consistently choose to shop at our NorthPark location. We are committed to serving our loyal Dallas customers at NorthPark, where we plan to infuse elements celebrating the Downtown store’s rich history," the statement read.

The store has been open since 1914 and served as a bedrock for downtown Dallas.

The definitive closure announcement, first reported by The Dallas Morning News, ends a months-long saga of will-they-won't-they and back-and-forth with the city of Dallas. There have been many efforts to keep the longtime store open.

To recap: In mid-February 2025, Saks Global said they were closing the 100-year-old store after a dispute with the landlord. City leaders rallied to keep it open. It worked, sort of: a landlord who owned a piece of land on which the iconic store resides agreed to donate it to the city of Dallas, so that there would be no obstacles for the store's continued operation.

But then in late February 2025, Saks Global reiterated that the Neiman Marcus Downtown Dallas store would definitely close on March 31, 2025. More rallying happened.

In late March 2025, days before it was to have closed, Saks Global announced the store would remain open through the 2025 holiday season while it explored a reimagination of the location in collaboration with the City of Dallas.

In January 2026, Saks Global filed for bankruptcy, leaving the fate of all stores unclear. The more than $2 billion in debt that Saks Global amassed to acquire Neiman Marcus in 2024 helped push the company into bankruptcy court, they said. As part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, Saks Global has secured about $1.75 billion in financing to keep the company afloat and its stores open.

In announcing the bankruptcy, Saks Global said it was evaluating its store lineup “to invest resources where it has the greatest long-term potential. This approach reflects an effort to focus the business in areas where [our] luxury retail brands are best positioned for sustainable growth.”

Saks Global announced that the Neiman Marcus store at The Shops at Willow Bend in Plano would close in January 2027 after 25 years. According to Saks Global, there are no plans to replace or relocate the store.

The closures of Downtown and Willow Bend leave Neiman Marcus with two DFW-area locations: NorthPark Center, and the Shops at Clearfork in Fort Worth.
