bamaker Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Not sure where to really place this .... if it needs to be moved, please do so. A couple of weekends ago I was talking with a man from my church; he is the manager of NorthPark Center in Dallas (for those unfamiliar with the Dallas area, NPC is the chic shopping area in Dallas; it's where the celebrities shop when they visit Big D). While talking about the depressed economy and the terrible Christmas sales-season, I asked him if NorthPark is having any problem keeping tenants in the mall. He told me that in fact there is a long list of tenants waiting to get in -- they're turning stores away. But, he did let me know this bit of news -- NorthPark Center is getting a LEGO store! He told me that the Libby Lu store, which has now closed as of January 31, would be the location of the store. I tried to play it cool, but I think I may've weirded him out by how excited I got. The store space will have to be remodelled, but should open in a few months. Great news for the north Texas area. I told him that Dallas was the largest metro area in the U.S. w/o a LEGO store and the nearest location is all the way down in Houston -- 4 hours away (pretty much stuff he already knew). Anyway, NorthPark is a mere 6 miles from my house, so I'm pretty excited (and I'm sure my wallet is going to be hurting). As a side note: We're supposed to be going on the same ski retreat with our church in late February, and I plan to pull any further information I can from him. Quote
Bob Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 That's good news! It's to bad I live in New England, all the way in the north. Ah well, that's great news! When I go to Dallas, i'll know where to go. Quote
meschepers Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 If this turns out to be true then I am going to be there for the opening if I can. I live in Stillwater, OK. That's about 4 hours from Dallas. The nearest LEGO store to me is in Denver or Houston... about 8-10 hours to Houston and about 12 to Denver. This would put a LEGO store in reach of me going, especially since I know some people in Dallas that I could go visit as an excuse to go to Dallas. Quote
Dadster Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 That's cool! Maybe I'll actually visit my brother now... Quote
Yeow Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Wow, that's great news! It certainly took them long enough to get one here. Recession's over (for me at least)! Quote
Runninglizard55 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 That's good news! It's to bad I live in New England, all the way in the north. Ah well, that's great news! When I go to Dallas, i'll know where to go. well us in New England really have nothing to worry about...we have 3 in Massachusetts alone! (Braintree, Natick, and Burlington, MA) Quote
