Southlake will welcome its newest shopping and dining hub with a grand opening scheduled for April 16.
Park Village is a premium shopping destination with a walkable, neighborhood atmosphere. It is owned by Excel Trust and managed by Lincoln Property Co.
The mix of shops and restaurants at Park Village, located at 1065 E. Southlake Blvd., include health and beauty destinations such as Beauty Brands, The Joint, Spa Habitat, The Pilates Barre, Lemongrass AVEDA Salon, The Pretty Kitty, The Lash Lounge, Park Village Nail Salon and Cowboy Up men’s salon.
Orvis, Michaels and The Fresh Market serve as anchor tenants to the rest of the upscale shops, which include Sur La Table, Sovn European Sleep Systems, Grayson Allen Fine Jewelers, Paper Source and Luke’s Locker.
As for the restaurants, Park Village will add to Southlake’s dining scene with Salvadoran and Asian offerings, along with sandwiches, pizza, pastries and more.
Gloria’s Latin Cuisine took off in 1986 in Dallas and has since spread its unique Salvadoran dishes across the state. The newest Gloria’s in Southlake will be the brand’s 17th location. Likewise, RA Sushi is a chain with sushi bars scattered across nine states. RA is known as much for its happy hours as for its creative sushi menu.
Malai Kitchen made a name for itself with its first location in Dallas. Husband and wife team Braden and Yasmin Wages met at Cornell University and developed a passion for Vietnamese and Thai cuisine through their travels. Malai also brews a handful of beers in-house, making it a rare brewpub in Southlake. Yasmin Wages said, “After discovering bia hoi on a trip to Hanoi, Vietnam, we were compelled to share the refreshing brew with our guests. When we couldn’t find a domestic brewery to brew it for us, we decided to give it a try ourselves and acquired a brewpub license. We offer three styles: bia hoi [a light Vietnamese rice lager], Thai-P-A [a medium-bodied IPA infused with refreshing Thai herbs], and a Thai one on seasonal rotator.”
Modern Market caters to nearly any dietary need using simple, whole ingredients that come from farms, not factories. Everyone is familiar with Potbelly Sandwich Shops and their quick, customized salad and sandwich format. Gigi’s Cupcakes are popping up all across Texas, winning over fans with delicious cupcakes, cheesecakes and cookies, and Luna Grill satisfies Mediterranean cravings, with most menu items made from scratch daily.
Taverna Rossa specializes in rustic thin-crust pizzas baked in a stone-fired oven. This is the second location of the popular eatery from 33 Restaurant Group partners Preston Lancaster and Tony Smith; the first opened in 2013 in Plano. Taverna Rossa will feature 30 craft beers on draft, four wine taps and a selection of handcrafted cocktails.
“Plan B designed the 4,200-square-foot restaurant with old school charm and modern sensibility at the forefront,” said Amity Thomas in public relations and Shannon McCarthy in marketing and public relations for 33 Restaurant Group. “Located near one of two Park Village fountains, the space includes a 1,500-square-foot, year-round patio with outdoor fire place and an indoor stage which will feature live, local music every Saturday night.”
The Juice Bar just opened its fourth location in Park Village and features freshly pressed juices and smoothies. Founder Tom Hennings has a passion for health and wellness, and his co-founder, Heidi Lane, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of New York, knew how to make that passion actually taste good. Their Juice Bar uses a centrifugal juicer as well as a cold press machine to create their menu of pressed juices and cleanses. Fans also love their fresh smoothies.
