    Southlake's best-known shopping center, Southlake Town Square, is poised for an infusion of new shops and restaurants. The 130-acre mixed-use development with 120-plus retail shops and restaurants will be home to a host of new brands over the next few months.

    The center is owned by Kite Realty Group, an Indianapolis-based real estate investment trust that owns dozens of similar open-air shopping centers across the U.S.

    Kite Realty Group VP Jason Kasal says in a statement that Southlake Town Square is experiencing an incredible evolution in its merchandising mix.

    “Over the last 12 months, Southlake Town Square has taken the most significant leap forward in attracting more premier retail brands than the project has experienced in its 20-plus-year history," Kasal says. "From announcing Nike, Aerie, YETI, Brandy Melville and HeyDay earlier this year to now being able to welcome Aritzia, Faherty, Tecovas, Mizzen + Main and Gorjana to the mix, this momentum will propel the project forward over the next few years."

    Here's the full list of openings coming soon as well as recent openings:

    Spring 2023
    Gorjana, a jewelry brand based in Laguna Beach, California owned by husband-and-wife duo Jason and Gorjana Reidel is taking over the space previously occupied by Kendra Scott, which moved to another location in Southlake Town Square. Gorjana features fine jewelry and 18k gold plated styles.

    Rowan is an ear-piercing place where the ear piercing is done by a licensed nurse using hypoallergenic earrings made from nickel-free materials. Located between Tyler’s and Pottery Barn, next to the Sprinkles ATM.

    Summer 2023
    Aritzia is a Canadian fashion brand delivering “Everyday Luxury” that will be located near Apple and Tesla.

    Mizzen + Main, makers of dress shirts and other menswear. Located near the new and expanded Kendra Scott.

    Third Love is an American lingerie company founded by Heidi Zak and her husband David Spector in 2013 known for marketing body positivity while offering size-inclusive bras and half-cup sizes. The company produces bras in 78 different sizes and will be located between Athleta and Fabletics.

    Postino, the funky wine café from Phoenix, opens its first Tarrant County location in Southlake Town Square. Located near Free People and Moxie's, the space is being reconfigured with an indoor/outdoor environment that the release says will be unlike anything in Southlake Town Square.

    Fall 2023
    Faherty offers men’s, women’s and children’s clothing and accessories. The family-owned company is sustainably minded and will be across from Anthropologie.

    Tecovas Austin-based retailer of cowboy hats, Western wear, cowboy boots, leather accessories, and denim products. Located near Apple and Tesla.

    Open in 2022
    Brandy Melville, the European clothing and fashion accessories brand, opened between Anthropologie and Sephora on Grand Avenue West in September.

    YETI, the outdoor brand, opens October 13 in a space between Travis Mathew and Peloton. This is the first YETI in Tarrant County and the second in DFW.

    Aerie, specializing in athleisure, swim, and undergarments, opens on October 20, located on Grand Avenue next to Starbucks.

    Nike will open a location on Grand Avenue between Bath and Body Works and Victoria’s Secret before the end of the year.

    Lululemon, known for athletic apparel, has relocated to a new location near Tesla and Apple on Grand Avenue that doubles its size to a 7,000-square-foot flagship location.

    HeyDay which specializes in skincare products, will open between Athleta and Fabletics on State Street by the end of 2022. Southlake will be their second location in Texas.

    Ferah Tex-Med, offering modern Mediterranean cuisine with a Texas twist from its location on Carroll Avenue, next to Nothing Bundt Cakes, is now open.

    Nikko, specializing in sushi and Asian cuisine, opened next to Trader Joe’s.

    Stella Trattoria offering authentic Italian cuisine on State Street, across from Market by Macy’s.

    Movie Review

    Rose Byrne fights for her life and car in new movie 'Tow'

    Actor Rose Byrne had a banner year in 2025, getting her first Oscar nomination for her starring role in If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You. Although she came up short in that race, she’s getting another chance to prove her acting bona fides in the new film, Tow.

    In the “inspired by a true story” movie, Byrne plays Amanda, a down-on-her-luck woman who lives in her car and can’t find a job. Living in Seattle, she tries to stay in touch with her daughter, Avery (Elsie Fisher), who lives with her dad in another city, but circumstances sometimes limit their communications, especially when her car is stolen.

    The good news is that her car is found relatively quickly. The bad news is that the tow company is charging her to get her car back, money she can’t afford. Now truly homeless, she does everything in her power to right the wrong, even taking the company to court. Without much luck, she has to start staying in a women’s shelter run by Barbara (Octavia Spencer), where she makes friends with Nova (Demi Lovato) and Denise (Ariana DeBose), among others.

    Directed by Stephanie Laing and written by Jonathan Keasey and Brent Boivin, the film has relatively low stakes going for it and never really tries to make the story feel deeper than it is. The situation Amanda finds herself in is clearly a tough one, and any empathetic person would feel for her and want her to overcome her plight. But the filmmakers keep things light and never try to up the drama in any significant way.

    The issue Amanda is dealing with, being price gouged by a predatory towing company, is one with which many people can relate. But aside from helpfully underscoring Amanda’s frustration by showing the increasing number of days she is without a car, they never establish why they felt this particular story was one worth telling. Her personal issues, including a growing estrangement with her daughter, fail to conjure any big emotions.

    The filmmakers are very loose with their storytelling, especially when it comes to side characters. The presence of the women she meets at the shelter, and Kevin (Dominic Sessa), the young lawyer who offers to help her, never makes full sense other than a need for her to have other people with whom to interact. A tighter focus on what Amanda was going through would’ve helped both her and people around her feel more important.

    Byrne is a dynamic performer who’s shown great skill at both drama and comedy, but there’s nothing special about her performance here. Hampered a bit by a blonde wig and false teeth, she feels out of sorts for much of the film. The unusually high-powered supporting cast - both Spencer and DeBose are Oscar winners - makes things interesting on first blush, but none of them outside of Sessa is given much to do, so they’re mostly wasted.

    Tow will be a disappointment for anyone hoping to see more great stuff from Byrne. While she remains a fine actor, her performance and the story as a whole are nowhere near the level shown in her previous film. The real life predicament shown in the film also never rises to the level of being of something worth showing to the masses.

    Tow is now showing in theaters.
