    2 home good stores reopen in Dallas, but it's curtains for another

    The fact that there'll be some sales doesn't make it sting any less.

    Two home-goods chains have reopened their Dallas-Fort Worth stores. But for another, it's curtains.

    The good news first:

    Bed Bath & Beyond has reopened 13 of its DFW locations following the lifting in Texas of retail restrictions due to COVID-19.

    The reopened stores are in Plano, Addison, Caruth Plaza in Dallas, Soouthlake, Denton, McKinney, Arlington, Fort Worth, Frisco, West Plano, Lewisville, Rockwall, and Flower Mound, and will observe the usual post-coronavirus safeguards, including limiting the number of people in stores. They're also offering early shopping hours for customers over 60 and those at risk.

    Lamps Plus has reopened both Dallas-area locations in Arlington and Plano. (It has one other location in Texas in Austin, which has also reopened.) These are the first Lamps Plus stores reopening in the company's 36-store chain.

    The stores were temporarily closed since March. They'll follow new guidelines to ensure the safety of both customers and employees. They'll also implement new contactless curbside pick-up. Customers can do their transactions via a credit card or phone call, prior to arriving at the store. When the customer drives up, they will stop and contact the store via call or text. An employee will verify identity, payment receipt, and place the order in the car.

    The bad news:

    Pier 1 Imports has begun what it calls an orderly wind-down of its retail operations. So sad.

    Over the next two months, they'll reopen enough of their 600 locations closed by the pandemic to sell off their inventory and other assets.

    The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February in the hopes that they'd be purchased by someone who would continue operating the business. But no suitor arrived.

    "We are grateful to our dedicated and hardworking associates, millions of customers and committed vendors who have collectively supported Pier 1 for decades," said CEO Robert Riesbeck in a statement.

    "We deeply value our associates, customers, business partners and the communities in which we operate, and this is not the outcome we expected or hoped to achieve. This decision follows months of working to identify a buyer who would continue to operate our business going forward. Unfortunately, the challenging retail environment has been significantly compounded by the profound impact of COVID-19, hindering our ability to secure such a buyer and requiring us to wind down."

    Swedish meatballs news

    Swedish furniture fave IKEA reveals opening date for first Dallas store

    The first IKEA store inside Dallas city limits is ready to open its doors: Called IKEA Dallas - University Park, the store will be located at The Shops at Park Lane (8080 Park Ln.), at US-75 and Park Lane. According to a release, it will open Wednesday, March 11.

    The Swedish-born furniture company will say hallå to Dallas with some fanfare on March 11, beginning with giveaways, coffee, and cinnamon buns at 8 am, followed by remarks from VIPs at 9 am. Doors will open to customers starting at 10 am.

    And yes, there will be meatballs, they promise.

    At 63,000 square feet, the Dallas IKEA will be a smaller-format store than its suburban siblings, such as the Frisco location, which spans 310,000 square feet.

    IKEA is on a journey to become more accessible, affordable, and convenient, with smaller "urban" stores that have a limited inventory of items sold on site: 3,200 articles, just 2,200 of which will be on display. (The full product range, including big items like beds and couches, can be ordered online for free store pickup or home delivery.)

    “This new store is a great example of our commitment to making IKEA even more convenient and accessible," says Rob Olson, Interim CEO of IKEA U.S., in the release. "We’re excited to become part of this vibrant shopping district and look forward to meeting the needs of customers in the area."

    The Park Lane store will be two levels and will include a unique As-is Department, featuring gently used and discontinued items to support more sustainable home furnishing choices, they say.

    The store will also feature a full Swedish food experience, offering IKEA favorites like meatballs, plant balls, hot dogs, and veggie dogs to enjoy in‑store or at home.

    “We’re excited to celebrate the grand opening of IKEA Dallas – University Park and share the IKEA experience with members of the Dallas community,” says Ben Sandoval, market manager, IKEA U.S. “From finding inspiration for your dream space to enjoying a taste of Sweden, we can’t wait for you to experience the joy of making yourself at home at IKEA Dallas - University Park.”

    IKEA is not the only new tenant at The Shops at Park Lane. The shopping center piggybacked on IKEA's announcement to share the additional debuts of Crème + Crepes, Connect Studio DFW, and Intuit Turbo Tax, all of which are now open.

    Once IKEA debuts, it will be open 10 am-8 pm daily.
