Shop ‘Til You Drop in Southlake

From upscale boutiques to popular brand names, Southlake is the premier shopping destination in North Texas. Minutes from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and home to nearly 260 retail stores and growing, retail therapy could not be more accessible or diverse than the selections in Southlake, Texas.

BlueNew stores are opening every day in Southlake. At the heart of the city, shoppers will find Southlake Town Square, an expansive outdoor shopping district with more than 125 shops and dozens of restaurants. Southlake’s original retail hub might resemble a quaint historical downtown, but Town Square is only 17 years young and offers today’s hottest brands to prove it. Already established customer favorites, such as Apple Computer Store, Coach, and Pottery Barn recently welcomed several newcomers to the neighborhood, including Bluemercury, a luxury beauty retailer; cult-favorite jewelry designer Kendra Scott; Lily Rain apparel and accessories; preppy style icon Vineyard Vines; and artsy Blue Pomegranate Gallery. With foodie favorites like Trader Joe’s and Del Frisco’s Grille lining the south edge of the Square along Southlake Boulevard, and boutique hotel Hilton Southlake Town Square at the north end near Highway 114, Southlake Town Square truly offers visitors everything from shopping to dining and accommodations.

Adjacent to Town Square at Highway 114 and North Carroll Avenue, Carroll Point is one of Southlake’s newest shopping centers. Although smaller than Town Square, Carroll Point adds to the variety of shopping and dining options available in the city. Chuy’s, the popular Austin-based Tex-Mex restaurant chain, has been serving hungry customers in Southlake since opening in 2015, but most of the other tenants opened their doors in 2016. Lo Lo’s Chicken and Waffles serves more than a half-dozen variations of the Southern staple, and fast-casual Salata offers over 50 ingredients to build customizable salads. Bicycle World provides one-stop shopping for cycling enthusiasts, offering bicycles and gear for sale, as well as bike services. Several spas, salons and studios round out the remaining spaces, including The Gent’s Place, Robert Morales Studio, Hand and Stone Massage, Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center, and bodybar Studios.Howard Wangs
