Upscale Dallas suburb's hottest shopping center to welcome 8 new stores and eateries
The post-pandemic retail comeback continues at Southlake Town Square, with a slew of new openings happening through the end of 2022.
These include not just stores but those all-important, modern "brand experiences," where shoppers "are invited to connect in person with their favorite brands, products and experiences," according to a release. They include a couple of restaurants making local debuts, too.
Here's a rundown of what's coming soon, where, and when.
