A trendy Asian-inspired blind box retailer is growing its footprint in Central Texas with a new concept set for Texas’ capital city.\u00a0Teso Group<\/a> plans to build the first Teso X stores in Texas in\u00a0the Austin area next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Texas\u00a0Department\u00a0of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) filings show Teso X\u00a0will be moving into\u00a0Barton Creek Square<\/a> in Austin and\u00a0Lakeline Mall<\/a> in Cedar Park, a suburb north of Austin. Teso\u00a0X is an Asian-inspired, collectible toy store and arcade known for its viral mystery collectibles, anime merchandise and claw machines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These new filings come as\u00a0Teso Group now seeks to expand in Texas’ capital city after opening stores in other parts of Texas, including the Dallas-Fort Worth\u00a0metroplex, Houston and San Antonio<\/a>. In July, the\u00a0Austin Business Journal reported<\/a> that\u00a0Teso Group was in the process of building its first Austin location at The Linc, located at 6404 N. IH-35 Frontage Road.<\/p>\n

That same month,\u00a0MySA reported that Teso Life was plotting its third San Antonio storefront near City Base.<\/a> Teso Group’s latest Austin filings are for two “Teso X” concepts, which are specialized hobby, toy, and arcade stores, while Teso Life is a larger, general Asian lifestyle department store.<\/p>\n

There are currently no standalone\u00a0TESO X stores in Texas, but\u00a0the company operates\u00a0two locations in New York<\/a>.\u00a0The\u00a0Teso Group also has six Teso\u00a0Life department stores across Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Construction on both of Texas’ first\u00a0Teso X stores is expected to begin on October 30 and is slated to finish by January 30, 2027.\u00a0MySA reached out to Teso Group and Barton Creek\u00a0to see when the company plans to open both stores.\u00a0<\/p>\n
