Fast-fashion favorite H&M gave suburban fashionistas an early Christmas gift last year, with the announcement of another store at Stonebriar Centre in Frisco. Now the Swedish retailer has an opening date for its latest North Texas location: July 31 at noon. That's even a wee bit ahead of the original fall 2014 projection.

The 26,000-square-foot store features lines for ladies and men; young ladies and young men; and “store within a store” sections for accessories, lingerie, maternity, sports apparel and plus-size line H&M+. There is also a children's collection for newborns through 14 years.

“Dallas is a very important market for us, and we are very happy to be able to offer our customers in the area even more access to our fantastic collections,” said H&M U.S. president Daniel Kulle in a release. “H&M is devoted to building our presence in the best locations throughout the United States, and this new location in Dallas reinforces our belief in the regional economy of Texas.”

The opening comes with plenty of perks for eager, first-in-line customers. The first 100 shoppers get an H&M T-shirt and an Access to Fashion Pass, which has a $10-$300 value.

H&M is also offering incentives through its recycling program. Customers who bring in old clothes to recycle will get a voucher for 15 percent off their entire purchases; those who bring them in before noon could get H&M gift cards worth $50-$100. Sounds like a good time to clean out your closet.

The Stonebriar Centre H&M will be open Monday through Saturday, 10 am-9 pm, and Sunday, noon-6 pm.

H&M now has more than 3,000 locations worldwide and 300 locations across the country, including NorthPark Center, Galleria Dallas, Shops at Willow Bend, Grapevine Mills and Town East Mall in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

First-rate idea

An old Walgreens has become a new Goodwill store in Plano.

UPDATE 7-31-2026: Due to construction delays, the store opening has been pushed back to Thursday, August 13.

Leave it to Goodwill to find a second use for a former Walgreens. The nonprofit is transforming a vacant drugstore building in Plano into its first ever, small-format store.

According to a release, Goodwill Industries of Dallas will debut the first-of-its-kind store at 3000 McDermott Rd., Plano, on Thursday, August 6.

The organization has converted the former pharmacy into a 10,000-square-foot thrift store and donation center. For comparison, that's less than one-third of the size of the massive, 31,000-square-foot "Broadway store" that opened in Garland earlier this year as the largest Goodwill in Texas and the second largest in the U.S.

The nonprofit says the new concept is designed to serve neighborhoods with a smaller footprint while still offering a steady flow of merchandise. Shoppers can expect about 5,000 new items to hit the sales floor each day, ranging from clothing and housewares to books, toys, and other donated goods.

It's also a creative example of "adaptive reuse" for one of the many drugstores have have shuttered in recent years around Dallas-Fort Worth. (CVS, are you listening?)

The Plano location will create 70 jobs, they say, and include a donation center where residents can drop off gently used items to support Goodwill's workforce development programs.

The opening comes as resale shopping continues to surge nationwide, Goodwill notes. According to the 2024 ThredUp Resale Report, the U.S. secondhand market grew 11 percent in 2023 — seven times faster than the broader retail clothing industry — and is projected to reach $73 billion by 2028.

"This store is a blueprint for how Goodwill Dallas turns vacant spaces into neighborhood assets, creating jobs, funding workforce development, and keeping quality goods accessible to families who need them most," Goodwill Industries of Dallas president and CEO Tim Heis says in the release.

The timing is also fortuitous for shoppers: The store will debut just ahead of Texas' 2026 Tax-Free Weekend, August 7-9, which will offer clothing, footwear, school supplies, backpacks without state sales tax.

Once doors on August 6, open the Plano store will operate 9 am-9 pm Monday-Saturday and 10 am-7 pm Sunday.

Goodwill Industries of Dallas has served North Texas since 1923, using proceeds from its retail stores to fund free job training, employment placement, and career services for people facing barriers to employment across eight North Texas counties.
