Sephora to open its first store in East Dallas
How do you know shopping on the east side of Dallas has some momentum?
Sephora is opening a store in the Hillside Village shopping center next year on the northeast corner of Mockingbird Lane and Abrams Road.
The LVMH-owned beauty retailer has 48 free-standing stores in Texas, including 19 in and around Dallas-Fort Worth, but this will be the first one east of North Central Expressway inside the Dallas city limits.
The smaller concept store is 4,415 square feet and is similar in size to Sephoras that have opened in other neighborhood shopping centers such as Preston Royal Village.
Hillside Village is in a densely populated area that’s “underserved,” said Ward Kampf, president of Northwood Retail. More than 428,000 residents live in a five-mile radius, and the property is visible to 63,000 vehicles a day, according to Northwood.
Two more new tenants were announced, JuiceLand, an Austin-based brand, and Modern Animal, a Culver City, Calif.-based veterinary clinic.
“We’re grateful to attract these types of tenants and feel these new locations speak to the power of the Lakewood community,” said Kampf. Northwood Retail has owned Hillside Village since 2017 and has been steadily bringing in new tenants. The Dallas-based retail real estate company also owns the Shops at Park Lane where American Girl is moving next year from Galleria Dallas.
Northwood is talking with a few potential tenants to fill one of the largest spaces, 12,803 square feet, in Hillside that was left vacant this spring when Dallas-based retailer Tuesday Morning went out of business.
Regency owns the northwest corner anchored by Tom Thumb. Its façade has been given a facelift, and new tenants including popular Japanese retailer Daiso.
Neighborhood centers are responding to the new way that families shop today, which Kampf described as being in “a tighter and tighter circle and on her way, on her path.”
Hillside Village feels like a homecoming for JuiceLand CEO and founder Matt Shook. “Growing up, my favorite aunt lived in East Dallas, and I always felt the charm in her neighborhood.” JuiceLand will open later this year next to Haven and Vie Nails.
Modern Animal has opened next to the Original ChopShop restaurant with new equipment for radiology, dental imaging and ultrasounds. It claims to have an environment designed for as little stress as possible.
The shopping center has 35 stores, restaurants and services and is anchored by Sprouts Farmers Market, Dream Café, Olivella’s Pizza & Wine. Froggie’s 5 & 10 and Betty Lou moved in from Knox Street in late 2021.
