New eateries, stores on tap at The Woodlands Mall – Houston Chronicle

The Woodlands Mall is fully open after more than 15 months of various COVID-19 restrictions and mall officials have been busy, adding three new restaurants and several new retail stores.

Ted Harris, the senior general manager of The Woodlands Mall, said several new restaurants and retail stores are now open, have seen work begin or are in the process of final stages of construction at the mall.

We are open fully right now. All of our shops are open. There are still a few locations that have their own mask protocols, so just contact the store so you are not surprised, Harris said.

Among the new offerings are salad and veggie specialists Salata Salad Bar; Casper mattress store; a new Mediterranean-focused eatery, Tableyah Mediterranean Cuisine; golf store Travis Mathew; and teen girl and young adult women store, Miss A. A new Bigotes Street Tacos is also on tap.

A couple places that have opened are Casper, the mattress company, that is sitting across from Athleta. We also opened up about a month ago Travis Mathew, that is a mens golfing and athletic wear. Casper primarily used to be an internet mattress company and now theyre coming into the mall, to show (customers) what the mattresses can do, how they perform.

The newest thing is on the ring road, next to Torchys Tacos, is Salata, it recently opened up. And, in our food court, Bigotes Street Tacos should be opening sometime (in July), Harris said. They just started constructions on Tableyah Mediterranean. Two (new eateries) in the food court and one on the ring road.

Harris said the mall is trying to cater to the needs of shoppers, in The Woodlands, and he noted the staff is excited to be back to work and busy after months of pandemic disruptions.

Not only is the (mall) staff in good spirits about getting back to normal, but when I am talking to retailers, with a lot of the restrictions being removed, they are very happy to be moving back to normalcy, Harris added.

Another new store is called Miss A, which Harris described as a clothing, jewelry and make-up store for teen to young adult girls and women, is under construction and may be open in the fall, Harris noted.

The changes are among many that have been underway at the mall since 2019, including in spring 2020 the renovation of the new courtyard near the Barnes and Noble Bookstore that has lawn seating, grass and a large screen with a projector for films.

Also added last year were a new Shake Shack restaurant and multiple new stores inside the malls main shell including a JD Sports, which sells athletic shoes, as well as an Amazon 4-Star store and a new dessert joint, Creamistry.
