With the latest arrival of Savage X Fenty's Galleria location, what's next for one of the largest malls in Texas? From activewear and contemporary apparel labels to health and wellness reset centers, the Galleria has an impressive batch of openings. 

As the mall gears up for the second half of 2022, it's interesting to remember its start. Named after Milan's oldest shopping center, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, no wonder the popular mall serves as a historical landmark for fashion-forward Houstonians. What started as an idea to be an indoor shopping center for the Shamrock Hotel in the 1940s has evolved into the seventh-largest shopping mall in the United States with more than 400 stores. 

Spring will be the busiest season for the mall, with ten exciting debuts, followed by three openings in summer and one grand arrival in fall. These are the new stores coming to the Galleria in 2022:  


Arabian Oud

When you smell good, you feel good, and perfumery Arabian Oud’s first Texas storefront is here to help Houstonians with that.

Beach Bunny
