10 Best Shopping centres in Fort Worth

Hulen Mall is a busy 2-level shopping complex with retailers selling clothing, jewellery, and toys. You’ll find big-name department stores here like Dillard’s and Macy’s. If you’re bringing the family, drop the kids at the Disney Store, GameStop, or Hot Topic while you shop. The mall has free parking, and many retailers offer student discounts.

The food court has plenty to offer, from Abuelo’s Mexican to Korean corn dogs. There’s often a live musician performing for diners. Just across from the main mall complex is Film Tavern Hulen, where you can order yourself a pizza while you watch the latest Hollywood flick.

Clearfork is an open-air shopping and dining centre with mainstream and upscale retailers. A thoughtfully designed space, decorated with modern sculptures and lights glowing on the trees, this mall has just the right atmosphere for a night on the town.

North East Mall has something to make everyone in the family happy. Located in Hurst, a suburb of Fort Worth, this popular shopping centre in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area includes an 18-screen Cinemark theatre.

With over 140 stores, there are extensive options for women’s and men’s fashion and accessories. The mall offers standards like Dick’s Sporting Goods, American Eagle, and Zumiez. There are a few rarer finds too, like Earthbound Trading Company, which sells bohemian fashion and crystals for your spiritual practice. Eats include favourites like Sbarro, sushi, and Starbucks.

For fantastic deals on name brands, make your way to Tanger Outlets. This large outlet mall has factory stores from brands like Old Navy, Columbia, and lululemon with items marked down to a fraction of their list price. Take a stroll around the shops on a sunny day and pick up a new pair of trainers from 1 of 10 brand-name shoe stores.

The mall is located in North Fort Worth off the Texas Motor Speedway. There isn’t much to eat in the mall, but there are a number of fast-food options just around the corner on Highway 114.

Smack in the centre of city centre, Sundance Square is filled with shops and eateries housed in a mix of renovated historic buildings and modern steel and glass. There are lots of opportunities to shop local, such as vinyl at Union Station, art supplies at Lookout Hill, or hand-crafted goods from Mexico at Colección Mexicana. Once you’ve had your fill of shopping, pop into the Sir Richardson Museum, a free-admission gallery of paintings of the Wild West.

In the central square, fountains offer relief from the heat and live music fills the air on weekends. If you crave a more spectacular performance, get tickets to a Broadway musical or the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra at the Bass Performance Hall.

Grapevine Mills is a large shopping, dining, and entertainment complex located between Fort Worth and Dallas. Retailers range from Marshalls to Kate Spade and Coach outlet stores, with something for every budget. Snack on crepes or Pad Thai or delight the kids with dinner at the Rainforest Café.

Entertainment is where Grapevine Mills really shines. On top of a huge arcade, an aquarium, and Legoland, the mall has bowling and mini golf. For a little something different, explore the colourful secret passages at the mesmerising new Meow Wolf.

University Park Village is a chic outdoor shopping centre near Texas Christian University. Retailers here are tailored to university students and young professionals. Shop for apparel at Free People, home goods at Pottery Barn, and a bit of both at Anthropologie. There’s an Apple Store here too but be warned that this location tends to be busy.

A favourite spot here is Eatzi’s, a gourmet grocer and bakery with an impressive selection of wines, cheeses, and deli spreads. Grab a made-to-order sandwich from the sandwich counter or head to Blue Goose Cantina for fajitas and margaritas.

La Gran Plaza is huge, colourful, and lively, a 3-floor mall home to more than 200 businesses. You might forget you’re in the USA as you browse this Latin shopping centre, where Spanish is spoken more than English. The main floor has clothing stores selling everything from cowboy boots to bridal wear, plus furniture stores, a Latin supermarket, and a play area for children. Many local businesses have offices on the upper floor, including barbers and aestheticians with bargain-priced services.

The lower floor is where you’ll find treats like sweet cinnamon horchata and Mexican elote sweet corn (smothered in mayonnaise, of course). La Gran Plaza has a family atmosphere, and every weekend a live mariachi band fills the mall with music.

Located in a historic district known for its cattle industry, Stockyards Station has Old West atmosphere as well. This western-themed mall is filled with shops selling leather belts, wide-brim hats, Native American jewellery, and – of course – a wild selection of cowboy boots.

The Stockyards themselves are a major Texas attraction. Known for their cattle industry in the late 19th century, there’s no shortage of cowboy activities, like the rodeo, the cattle drive, and gunfight shows. Grab a beer and enjoy honky tonk, line dancing, and real-live bull riding at Billy Bob’s. Meat is on the menu in the Stockyards, with restaurants serving steaks, burgers, and barbeque.

You could furnish your entire home solely from the treasure troves at Montgomery Street Antique Mall. The warehouse features the antiques and collectibles of more than 200 dealers. With everything from jadeite ceramics to handcrafted furniture, there are countless shelves full of objects to use, reminisce over, or simply admire.

Although the warehouse is enormous, you could get through the whole thing in a couple of hours if you don’t linger too much. Lingerers, worry not: nestled between the rooms of old books and toys is the Secret Garden Tea Room. Rest your weary feet here while you enjoy a pot of English tea and scones with clotted cream.
