Kick Pleat Expands to Dallas with New Store on W. Lover's Lane

Kick Pleat, a renowned boutique brand with successful stores in Austin and Houston, is making its way to Dallas with a new store set to open on W. Lover's Lane later this year. Upscale Brand Arriving in Dallas Kick Pleat, known for its artful and inspired womenswear, will be launching a standalone 3,992-square-foot storefront at 4710 W. Lover's Lane. The store offers a range of high-quality pieces, with prices starting from $321 for jeans to $555 for a black mock-neckline shirt. Expanding Reach in Dallas Kick Pleat's Director of Stores, Jessica Kerndt, expressed that expanding to Dallas was a natural progression for the brand due to its existing clientele in the city. The upcoming store will be located near Dallas-Love Field Airport and University Park, an area that has seen significant retail growth in recent years. Exciting New Location The new Kick Pleat store will be housed in a building currently occupied by a chocolate shop, which is relocating to a larger space in Preston Forest shopping center. Kerndt mentioned plans for a new build-out to create a unique shopping experience tailored to the brand. Focus on Convenience One standout feature of the new location, according to Kerndt, is the ample parking available with approximately 16 designated spots for customers. The City of Dallas is also contemplating revisions to parking regulations that could positively impact businesses like Kick Pleat. Anticipated Opening in November With management targeting a November opening, the store aims to cater to holiday shoppers seeking fashionable and distinctive pieces.
