North Dallas shopping center Galleria Dallas continues its expansion momentum with a slate of new concepts and brands being added to its roster. Those include three new first-in-market brands, plus retailers, restaurants, and a pop-up boutique.

These new stores follow the opening of the center’s 27,586-square-foot flagship H&M, which contains the first-in-Texas H&M Home. And Netflix House — an immersive movie experience venue that's a combination of Netflix merch store, film house, and restaurant-bar — will be coming to the center in fall 2025, one of two announced in the U.S.

Here's the newcomers:

Uniqlo. Japanese fashion favorite offering clothing and accessories for men, women, and children, will open a first-in-market 20,000-square-foot two-story flagship store, near Mango on Levels 1 and 2. (Galleria is one of three to open in DFW, along with Stonebriar Centre in Frisco and The Parks Mall at Arlington.) Opening in October.

The Royal Standard. The brand, which sells fashion, gifts, and home accessories, will open a first-in-market retail location on Level 2 at Center Court. Opening in September.

Lindsay Nicholas New York. Women's fashion brand will open its first U.S. retail store on Level 1 near Gucci. The pop-up will carry wardrobe essentials with an emphasis on luxurious fabrication and intentional design, with styles that make a statement. Opening in September.

Lululemon. Fitness name is expanding its Galleria Dallas presence by nearly doubling its footprint with a new location on Level 1 across from Apple. Lululemon will remain in its Level 2 space until the new store is complete. Opening late 2024.

Pandora. Jeweler will remodel and expand its footprint while operating in a temporary location on Level 1, next to Tommy Bahama.

Gregory’s. Designer apparel for women and men recently moved to a temporary location next to Gucci on Level 1 while its permanent store is under construction. The new space will be between Gucci and the shopping center entrance near The Westin.

Knots & Loops. Dallas-based crochet creations boutique, offering handcrafted pieces by women artisans: from crocheted penguins to dolls and baby rattles — perfect whimsical plush gifts made with love. Now open on Level 3 near Earthbound Trading Company.

Deseri. Black-owned handbag pop-up on Level 1will remain open next to Intimissimi through the end of the year.

Uncle Sharkii. Houston-based poke concept does bowls, boba tea, and Dole soft-serve. Now open on rink level.

If you haven't been, the center has also created dramatic new entries near Gucci and Bachendorf’s as well as the outdoor plaza adjacent to North Italia. And during 2024, all restrooms in the shopping center are to be upgraded. That's yuge. Additionally, the center’s signature digital board over the ice rink will be replaced with the latest technology.

“Big things are coming to our shopping center, showing us a glimpse of the Galleria Dallas of the future,” Galleria Dallas General Manager Angie Freed says in a statement.

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.
