"Southlake has the combination of energy, growth and appreciation for hospitality that we look for when entering a new neighborhood," Vandelay Companies founder Hunter Pond told Southlake Style ahead of Hudson House's Park Village opening. The key word in that quote is hospitality. It describes a place you return to. Over the past eighteen months, nearly every tenant change at Park Village on East Southlake Blvd. has moved in that direction.
The center lost a sushi restaurant, a fly-fishing outfitter and a furniture planning studio. In their place came a martini bar with a raw bar, a ranch-to-counter butcher, a nurse-staffed IV studio and a treadmill-and-weights studio with classes seven days a week. Each newcomer is designed to bring the same people back on a schedule. Fifth Corner, which acquired Park Village through an affiliate on January 30, 2024, calls the 185,493-square-foot center an "experience-driven" retail environment. The tenant list now matches that description.
Three exits, each one a store you visited occasionally
The departures had something in common. Each served a purchase or an outing you made a few times a year, not every week.
- RA Sushi closed in May 2025 after about a decade in Park Village. Southlake Style credited it with a loyal happy hour and late-night following.
- Orvis sold fly-fishing gear, hunting equipment and outdoor apparel in Park Village. The Southlake store closed late in 2025 as the company cut back its brick-and-mortar footprint nationally. Community Impact reported a planned closing date of December 24.
- IKEA's Plan and Order Point, a 10,809-square-foot store at 1041 E. Southlake Blvd., was scheduled to close February 1, 2026, according to Southlake Style. You went there to plan a kitchen or a closet, and most households do that once.
The current Park Village directory has no listing for any of the three. REI, West Elm, Michaels and Sur La Table remain, the large stores still holding the center's corners. The newer arrivals cluster around them.
One building shows the pattern
The clearest evidence sits at a single address. At 1161 E. Southlake Blvd., four suites have filled since early 2024, and two of them house a company's first Texas location, according to reporting by Community Impact and Southlake Style.
| Suite | Business | What it is | Opened |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ste. 202 | Booth Creek Wagyu | Kansas-born, vertically integrated wagyu butcher; first Texas store | April 16, 2026 |
| Ste. 208 | Cookie Society | Texas gourmet cookie bakery | March 1, 2024 |
| Ste. 270 | The Tox | Lymphatic drainage and body and facial sculpting studio | Fall 2024 |
| Ste. 280 | Hydration Room | IV therapy and injection studio; first Texas location | September 18, 2026 |
Booth Creek's model depends on a regular counter trade. Community Impact reported that the company controls everything from ranch and feeding program to processing plant and retail shop. The Southlake counter sells ground beef, roasts, ribs, hot dogs and jerky, the kind of items that get restocked.
Hydration Room came from California, where it has more than 65 locations, and made Southlake its first Texas stop. Registered nurses provide care, and each patient gets a consultation with a nurse practitioner. CEO Michelle Mendoza described the company's focus to Community Impact:
"Hydration Room really services the patient that wants to stay healthy and get healthy using IVs and injections, and that's what we're great at."
Down the row at 1151 E. Southlake Blvd., Ste. 370, Playa Bowls opened May 17, 2025, Community Impact reported, serving açai bowls, smoothies, juices and cold brew. The rest of the directory follows the same pattern. Blo Blow Dry Bar, Spa Habitat, The Lash Lounge, MANOR, Cool Heads Salon, Lavender Square, The Joint Chiropractic, Club Champion and Dallas Running Company are all businesses you book or come back to.
Hudson House took the old sushi corner and opens every day
The restaurant swap shows the shift most clearly. Hudson House opened September 14, 2026, at 1131 E. Southlake Blvd., in the former RA Sushi space next door to Gloria's. The room covers about 5,000 square feet, with leather booths, a wraparound bar, a sit-down raw bar and an outdoor patio. The signature "World's Coldest Martini" is Grey Goose served on tap and chilled to 10 degrees. East Coast oysters, Hudson's Avocado Dip and the Hudson Salad round out the menu alongside sushi.
This is Vandelay's 12th Hudson House, almost a decade after the first opened in Highland Park. The restaurant's posted hours fit a weekly routine more than a special-occasion visit. It opens at 11 a.m. Monday through Friday and at 10 a.m. on weekends, and stays open until 9 or 10 p.m. depending on the night. That covers a weekday lunch, a weekend brunch and a Thursday dinner on the same patio.
It also joins an established restaurant row inside the center. Gloria's Latin Cuisine, Malai Kitchen, Taverna Rossa, Jane, Sweetgreen, Luna Grill and Potbelly are all in the current directory. With Hudson House on the former sushi corner, the restaurant side of Park Village runs from a quick salad to a raw-bar dinner without leaving the parking lot.
Barry's puts a class schedule on the east end
Barry's is the most explicit example of the center's shift. The fitness brand set its Park Village studio, at 1081 E. Southlake Blvd., Ste. 170, for a November opening. Before that, it sold pre-opening memberships and offered a free first class.
The format is built on repeat visits. Community Impact described a 50-minute "RUN x LIFT" class that alternates treadmill intervals with floor-based strength work in Barry's red-lit room. Classes run seven days a week, and each day targets different muscle groups or a full-body workout. The studio will have locker rooms, private showers, Dyson hair dryers and skin products, so members can go from a class straight to the rest of the day. General manager Logan Hymel said in a news release that the goal is a place "where people come for a challenging workout and build connections that keep them coming back."
Barry's was founded in Los Angeles in 1998 and operates 103 studios in 19 countries. Like Hydration Room and Booth Creek Wagyu, it chose Park Village for a Southlake address.
The newest tenants line up along one stretch of East Southlake Blvd.
- Morning class at Barry's, 1081 E. Southlake Blvd.
- Errands at 1161 E. Southlake Blvd., where the butcher, bakery and wellness studios share a building.
- A bowl at Playa Bowls, 1151 E. Southlake Blvd., or a seat at the Hudson House raw bar, 1131 E. Southlake Blvd.
Barry's, Hudson House, Hydration Room, Booth Creek Wagyu and Playa Bowls all arrived in 2025 or 2026.
Town Square is replacing tenants the same way
Park Village is not the only center replacing a familiar tenant with a reason to visit more often. Southlake Town Square lost Corner Bakery, one of its day-one tenants, after 26 years. Southlake Style reported that Ascension Coffee was taking over the coffee-and-breakfast role. According to Community Impact, Ascension, at 100 State St., Ste. C1, has a full espresso bar, seasonal coffee flights and a slow bar where baristas make pour-overs from rotating single-origin coffees, plus pastries, sandwiches, wraps and salads.
The square's newest retail tenants are designed for an experience as well as a purchase. Reformation opened August 11, 2026, at 213 Grand Ave. E. Only one of each piece hangs on the showroom floor, and shoppers use a fitting-room screen to request sizes and adjust the lighting. BYLT Basics followed on October 8 at 214 State St., Ste. B48, with clothing that goes from office to gym.
The two centers are refilling in the same way. As long-running single-purpose tenants leave, the replacements tend to be businesses that give you a reason to come back next week.
Retail turnover like this shows up in how a neighborhood lives day to day, and it is part of how we help clients understand Southlake beyond the listing sheet. To talk through what the changes along East Southlake Blvd. mean for your own plans, Pantuso Properties invites you to request a private consultation.
