North Dallas shopping mecca Galleria Dallas has good news for shoppers, with six new stores set to open this spring and summer, including one pop-up happening Mother’s Day weekend.

Let's do the pop-up first:

Kendra Scott will host a pop-up May 6-8, obviously to capture some of that Mother's Day magic. The company, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, specializes in jewelry featuring natural gemstones. The designer will offer gifts for moms and more – including their popular women’s jewelry, candles, watches and their new men’s line. The pop-up shop will be located in front of Sephora on level one. Opening: this weekend.

Stance is famous for its creative, often-colorful socks, and is so into socks that it offers a sock subscription. But it doesn't want to be known only for its socks, OK. They sell apparel for women and apparel and underwear for men, too. Stance is also known for its artistic partnerships with celebrities and brands ranging from the late Kobe Bryant, who partnered with Stance in his last NBA season, to The Simpsons, whose faces are on socks being sold now. The Galleria store will be its first store in Texas, and they'll be on level two next to Apricot Lane. Opening: mid-May.

Flea Style is the Dallas-based woman-owned chain selling vintage finds and work from local artists. Their flagship opened in Deep Ellum in 2018, and they now have locations at The Star in Frisco and the Stockyards in Fort Worth, but Galleria Dallas will be their first mall location. It'll feature a hat bar where customers can customize hats with vintage scarves, jewelry, dried flowers and feathers as well as a new boot bar experience. The store will be on level one next to Lizzie Lu Luxury Treats. Opening: August.

Garage is a Canadian fashion retailer that sells women’s clothing, swimwear, and accessories. This is its first store in North Texas. Their mission is to empower women to be confident, authentic and unapologetic in their own style, because fashion is fun and a way to celebrate life. The store will be located on level two near Starbucks. Opening: late summer.

Banter by Piercing Pagoda is about experimenting with fine jewelry and piercing options to express and celebrate yourself. Banter does piercings in-store, along with a selection of earrings, necklaces, charms, rings, bracelets and body jewelry. They'll be on level two next to Build-A-Bear. Opening: end of July.

Bearfruit is a woman-owned jewelry brand with an extensive collection of mix-and-match-worthy pieces, built with unique metals and delicate details, at an affordable price point. The first Bearfruit location in North Texas, the Galleria Dallas store will be located on level one next to Morphe. Opening: late summer.

Where to shop in Dallas right now: 7 zany new stores to check out

Thrifted Threads

Thrifted Threads chill vibe

With the holidays on the horizon, shopping is on the rise. This November edition of Where to Shop, CultureMap's monthly roundup of new shops, sales, and alternative shopping, has five unique new openings, ranging from fashion to skin care to sports apparel.

The roundup also includes two non-traditional entries, including a new benefits program at an area mall, and a place to get your passport — in case you're planning on shopping abroad.

Here's where to shop in Dallas for November:

Baseballism
Baseball camp that transformed into an off-field baseball clothing brand is now open at Allen Premium Outlets. The store offers baseball-themed clothing, hats, and accessories. Their collection features collaborations with several big league names, including MLB, Babe Ruth, Vin Scully and Field of Dreams. Caps and hoodies are especially popular items, such as the Junior's Silhouette for $36 or the short Sleeve Yankees hoodie for $79.

Firewheel Town Center
Garland shopping center is in the giving spirit with its latest Shop, Dine & Save program. Visitors can shop or dine at select stores, including Buckle, DSW, and Razzoo's, Ferah Tex-Med Kitchen, and receive a $25 Simon giftcard when they spend $150 or more. To get the giftcard, receipts have to be shown at the mall management office and include at least one shop and one restaurant from the same day. The special lasts through November 27.

Hill House
Originally a bedding company that launched in 2016, Hill House has extended their collection to offer home, accessories, baby & kids, bridal, and apparel. They opened a location in NorthPark Center at the end of October — their first in Texas and only their fifth store. Hill House is best known for the "Nap Dress," a flowing dress made for day or night wear. There's also a short version of the dress, such as the Scarlett Long Sleeve Mini, a plaid dress for $188. Just in time for season, they've launched holiday pajamas, featuring pajama sets, robes, and children's sets.

Glossier
Skincare, beauty, and fragrance concept just opened a 1,000 square-foot store at NorthPark Center, featuring its trademark whimsical displays that one might mistake for an art supply or paint store. They sell fragrances, scented skin creams, balms, cleansers, moisturizers, makeup, eyelash curlers, and other beauty products, a little on the pricey side, but they make the shopping experience fun with an immersive shopping experience. That stuff doesn't come for free. This is their 12 location in the U.S., joining Atlanta, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, DC, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, NYC, Philadelphia, and Seattle.

Rally House
Sports apparel chain opened a location at Rockwall Crossing Shopping Center in Rockwall, with merchandise — headwear, accessories, collectibles — dedicated to Dallas-area teams including Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Dallas Stars, and college teams like the Texas Longhorns, Texas Tech Red Raiders, and Texas A&M Aggies. They also offer locally-themed apparel and accessories that celebrate Dallas destinations and landmarks, such as an Uscape Pom Mens Knit Hat with a graphic of the Dallas skyline for $30 or a long sleeve Dallas sweatshirt for $42. This is the 22nd location in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Thrifted Threads
Houston-based vintage clothing reseller just made its debut in Deep Ellum at 2646 Main St. #620, next to Vidorra. Thrifted Threads was founded by Laith Awad, who began reselling clothes in 2017, initially as an online store until he opened a location in 2022 in Houston's Montrose District when he was only 18. He opened a second store in College Station in 2023. Deep Ellum is the third. They're known vintage apparel from jerseys to sweatshirts and hats, as well as collections of color-sorted clothes from the 70s to the 2000s. It's more than a store, with arcade games that don't require coins to play, a motorcycle display, and ice cream.

Collin County Passport Office
If you're "shopping" for a passport, a passport office just reopened in the Collin County Courthouse at 2100 Bloomdale Rd., McKinney. The new passport acceptance office will initially be appointment only, with bookings available through the District Clerk's website. Plans are underway to introduce same-day and walkup services in the near future.
