i saw a banner that read "Hermes and Americanas open during remodeling" i really would like to see renderings of the project i just dont see a Whole Foods next to Hermes lol

I saw that today! The fence was up and the demolition had begun! It's very exciting, to know this project is finally starting.

im sooo excited i have to check it out when i go back to work, so how long is Hermes going to stay open ? hopefully it will expand

Not sure if you guys know alredy but apparently Buffalo Exchange is opening in the Heights on 19 Street. its pretty awesome

Just checked RUEHL's website. They do not list a Houston location (or even one coming soon). But they do list stores at the Galleria in Dallas and also at The Domain.

trust me it will be store #119 and will open earlier next year. from my understanding it will most likely be where Eddie Bauer used to be, next to BCBG.

De Beers - opened nice store looks like a club

Versace - closed, might be renovating

Marc Ecko - will open where Duo used to be

i have some more info on stores opening & CLOSING but dont want to say anything yet.

Bottega Veneta just opened ... it only took like 1 mth & a half .. is this the second time it opens here in the city?? .. True Religion is taking for ever

thats tragic news for the ghetto community ... ah haha ... JK ... well they still have the MarqE. Im soo happy to hear its gone that mall really sucked I havent been there in 10 years and it sucked balls back then. I dont really go to the movies anymore. The Marq E is trash now I really wish it could become what it once was.

haha, this is o.t. but good to see someone else use some loose slang here. in the "car" community we always say "it's the sex" i was just always hesitant to use that terminology in here cuz i didn't know if anyone would understand,lol. good to see i'm not alone here in using that phrase....

cheahh im not an old fart ... ah

the storefront will change but naturally there are some places where the existing stone has to remain. the windows will def. go out for the new design. i'm not much of a fan of the ext. desgin, but once it's built it may look better in person than in rendering. the interior will be pimp.

I burly saw the outside sorta entrance of Barneys Co Op I think that ghetto store Gregorys has one too. it will be pure Sex if most of the level 1 stores had outside entrances

thats kewl ... does anyone know whats gonna be next to Borders ... I heard it might be an H&M. I belive that spot infront of Dior will be De Beers. the new Guess store caters to chicks mostly .. bummer

Forth & Towne and Fila closed alredy and not to mention that spa next to Saks Fifth in Galleria 3

here is a map for clarity along with some pics. and due to space layout the seating area will be facing north.

please excuse the orientation of the map.

aslong as they do something to the outside I really like what they did at Kona & Borders if only they would do that to the whole mall, & Galleria 3 is crap they should renovate it from top to bottom other than Fox Sports & Bice those stores suck Macys looks like a department store at sharpstown its really a wast of space

Ohh ... alot of empty spots from Neiman Marcus to Saks Fifth .. the Dog store is by the water fountain now ... grr ....

Fendi is in the 3rd floor now by Abercrombie & Fitch ( currently remodeling)

Victoria's Secret is expanding (that poster looks hot Gisele!!! )

Forth & Towne is closing

Johnston & Murphy is by Borders

old Johnston & Murphy will be ... ???

Guess is remodeling

Apple just opened a remodeled store

Juicy Couture will be next to Louis Vuitton (very funny poster)

Bottega Veneta will open next to Tiffany & Co.

Pacsun remodeling

Hot Topic remodeling

old Dog store will be ... ??

True Religion is almost done I had a sneek peak

Tous is opening

New expanded Foot Looker

Fila store had nothing inside might be closing ???

alot of empty spots !!! specialy in Galleria 3

that part of the mall stinks (literally) even the Macys looks like crap

by early 2008 will have alot of new stores

the few ppl that i know that live in the montebello don't mind the galleria, although they do favor uptown park 1&2. the reason they don't shop at the galleria is because they are wealthy enough to get the real stuff during their "travels" through France, Germany, etc and just buy the stuff there or have it shipped. it's crazy what they'll have shipped to their house.

I have never been to Uptown Park, The Galleria is the only mall in the city that I shop at. it looks nice, but none of theyre stores appeal to me, I really dought people who live there never shop at the Galleria

Never heard of that store, but like the name!

its a very popular brand among girly / ditzy (sp?) girls (my type) they make stuff for guys too I only like theyre tees & hoodies ... the Rail at Nordstrom has some of theyre stuff

i'm surprised no one has mentioned Martini Park. They will be next to Lord & Taylor. Apparently Martini Park is doing VERY well in their Plano location. I think they'll do just as well here....

dude Lord & Taylor closed like 3yrs ago , and WTF is Martini Park?'

I cant wait till they open, those cupcakes will put you in a diabetic coma, im pretty sure itll be somewhere in Uptown maybe Highland Village aslong as they dont break balls and open in the burbs (The Woodlands eeewww)

does anyone know where or when Sprinkles Cupcakes is opening ?

Juicy Couture is opening too ... ehh

brah that is Saks Fifth , David Yurman is there ... Macys is on the ghetto side by Sharper Image ... I belive it was called The Dog Company .. ?

That really isn't an expansion, but just stores shifting around and getting bigger spaces or adding new tenants. I was a bit bummed about a doggy store not being there anymore, actually.

the store by SAKS Fifth ? ... that store was really out of place .. happy to hear its gone

Bottega Veneta

True Religion

Hanna Anderson

Hallmark Gold Crown

Ruehl

Tory Burch

are opening

Forth & Towne is closing

and i heard a jewelry store De Beers is opening somewhere in Houston

ive seen a store in LV

Not every one wears Abercrombie & Fitch. I get some clothes from places like that, but most are like champs. Instead of Champs put a Finish Line and an Urban Outfitters I am sure Houston wants more that one Demographic shopping at HP. I second the House of Hoops by Foot Locker!

well everyone should ... , and not everyone wears stuff from champs sports.. i am happy though of that Journeys .. yay !! footlocker sucks btw

I hope they put a Champs Sports there. They have some good clothes.

Champs Sports ?? eeewww ... what they should do is open a flagship Abercrombie & Fitch , the NY store is crazy! its like 4 stories right next to Prada ... one can only dream

the ones from middle mexico areas tend to like good high priced shopping. it always amazes me the numbers that are at the galleria.

Your right everytyime im at The Galleria i hear people at Louis Vuitton, Gucci , specially at Abercrombie & Fitch speaking spanish. i asked one lady one time at Abercrombie & Fitch if she was from Mexico she said she was , so i asked her why they travel so far to shop she simply reply because most stores in The Galleria are found in Mexico but here in Houston is different, safety wise.

Well Lucky Strike will be awesome as long as the mgmt has a good maint. policy unlike Jillians (and the whole marquee for that matter).

I wouldn't be expecting ANY Gap Inc stores to be announced considering Gap has started closing houston stores due to poor sales (Highland Village, West Oaks Mall etc,.) and with their latest concept Forth & Towne getting the axe. Limited Inc stores are a possibility but that's nothing too exciting. A&F Inc stores are doubtful also. They've stopped building A&F, started converting abercrombie kids to Hollisters, building a Ruehl in the Galleria and have a new brand, Gilly Hicks that gets debuted next year. H&M would be awesome and it may be lip service but I contacted them about a Houston location and they said they were presently "looking for the perfect Houston location for Texas' 1st Store"... so maybe??

im soo happy that Forth & Towne is done ahahaha .... i see that space being a new kikass store (original penguin/ juicy couture) A&F Co. is building a store in Deerbrook, it will be pure sex if they build a Flagship in Houston Pavillions the one in NewYork is Craziee ! .. i think H&M is gonna land 1st in the Galleria before H.P.

Exactly....that's why the floors don't line up.

What's going on infront of Neiman Marcus by where Chanel and Tiffany & Co. are ?? Last time I went there was a wall in the middle of the walkway with arrows pointing to Neiman Marcus.

And what's going on by the new expansion a huge chunk of the floor was inside anothere wall (near Bally and Valleriano) ?

Please don't tell me that's going to be "the soft childrens play area" that was mention when that expansion was anounced. It won't be a good fit they're aren't any kid stores near there except for Dylands but that's in the second floor and Disney isn't that close either.
