It’s hard to drive around some parts of North Texas without seeing a store that’s new to the neighborhood. Names like H-E-B, Adidas and BJ’s Wholesale Club are opening shops in places such as Forney, Celina and Plano.
But that doesn’t mean that stores aren’t closing in Dallas and other parts of North Texas. Shuttering retailers include department stores, brand-specific shops and some grocery sites.
The retail industry continues to navigate shifting tastes and shopping trends among consumers who are getting more options to find brands they like online or at individual brand stores. A changing landscape with tariffs, rising costs and other challenges are among the issues pushing some shops to close — and some companies even filing for bankruptcy.
Here are some of the stores that have recently closed or will close in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Rooster Home & Hardware: The store in Dallas is set to shut down June 30, according to a post on its Facebook page. It’s a True Value Hardware store with tools, paint and products for those who enjoy urban farming with chicks, feeds and beehives. The store launched under the name roughly a decade ago after formerly being known as Gecko Hardware.
Weir’s Furniture: In March, the retailer, founded in 1948, announced it will shutter its retail operations after all its merchandise is sold, including its sites in Dallas, Plano and Southlake. The decision came “after exploring all reasonable alternatives and careful evaluation of its long-term financial position, difficult market conditions and operational challenges.”
Patagonia: The retailer of outdoor gear shut down its store in Deep Ellum, leaving just one other listed store in Texas with an Austin site. “Changes in the surrounding neighborhood have made it difficult to maintain a long term, sustainable future for the location as the area has trended more toward restaurants and nightlife than retail foot traffic,” spokesman J.J. Huggins said in a statement earlier this year.
Albertsons: In March, the grocer revealed it would close two stores, one in Fort Worth and another in Euless. This followed the move by Albertsons to close sites in Allen and in Plano with its Tom Thumb brand last year.
Dillard’s: The department store at The Shops at Willow Bend shuttered its operations around January. It came as the mall looks to redevelopment plans and tear down the shopping hub in Plano. The Dallas Morning News first reported in October that the Dallas Stars hockey franchise was eyeing Willow Bend as the site for a more than $1 billion arena.
Neiman Marcus: Another anchor at the Shops at Willow Bend is set to shutter by around January 2027. The planned closing was announced last year ahead of the parent company’s bankruptcy earlier this year.
Nordstrom: The department store at Galleria Dallas closed in May. The retailer, which caters to higher-end shoppers, said earlier this year it believes it would “be best able to serve customers in the area by leveraging our surrounding stores and through our digital channels.”
Painted Tree Boutiques: The retail chain said on its website in April that it has closed, affecting stores around the country, including several in North Texas. The store specialized in home décor, fashion and gifts.
Eddie Bauer. The retailer, which had shops in North Texas such as Allen, moved to close its stores earlier this year after filing for bankruptcy. It was part of the family of brands that helped form Catalyst Brands, which now includes JCPenney.
Aldi. In April, shoppers learned that the grocer was shutting down a site in Far Northeast Dallas. The company called the closing of the store, which had operated for about 15 years, a “difficult decision.”
