The iconic Galleria Mall in Dallas is kicking off the year with the addition of several new specialty stores.

Since it first opened in 1982, the Galleria Dallas has served as one of North Texas’ premiere shopping destinations.

Modeled after Italy’s oldest active shopping gallery — the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II — the Galleria Dallas serves as a multi-use shopping center featuring a glass vaulted ceiling, a bottom-level ice rink, and more than 200 different stores across roughly 1.4 million square feet of retail shopping space.

Four new specialty stores have opened just this year, with several planned around the corner in spring and summer, according to a release reported by WFAA.

A full list of the Galleria Dallas’ new and scheduled shops includes:

Despite all the clamor about a slowdown in shopping mall activity, the Galleria Dallas still supports robust demand from the local community, out-of-staters, and business travelers. Its location at the intersection of Interstate 635 and the Dallas North Tollway makes it an easy-to-pick destination for travelers flying in from DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field.
