Mall rats rejoice: Austin’s Barton Creek Square announces 5 new stores opening soon

As the Barton Creek Square shopping center continues to adapt to an unpredictable market for malls and other shopping centers across the country, it has announced it is adding five new stores.

These stores will include everything from sit-down restaurants to mall classics. Here is everything you need to know about the new businesses that Barton Creek Square is betting on.

Chubby Cattle

The meat merchant, Chubby Cattle, is known as a premier meat restaurant and it currently operates 23 multi-concept restaurants in the U.S. Chubby Cattle is a relatively high-end restaurant that is known for its atmosphere, fresh ingredients, and most notably its top-quality Wagyu beef. It uses these elements to create traditional Asian cuisine from around the world in its many restaurants.

Chubby Cattle is expected to open at Barton Creek Square in 2025 and when it does it will be located on the upper level near Nordstrom.

Casper

Casper is a major player in the mattress market and gained popularity, after launching in 2014, for their mattress in a box that would ship straight to customer’s doors. In Austin, the company will be pivoting to a brick-and-mortar space, of which they currently have 66.

Casper plans to open in September of this year and will be located on the lower level next to Warby Parker.

Fan Outfitters

Fan Outfitters is a popular destination for hats, jerseys, and fan apparel and is known for being placed in malls and other shopping centers. When Fan Outfitters opens it will carry officially licensed team sports gear across a variety of sports and leagues.

According to Modern Retailers, a retail news cite, Fan Outfitters is focused on growing rapidly this year. Only six months after launching, Fan Outfitters has 12 stores opened in cities like Phoenix, Dallas and now Austin. The sports store plans to open next month and will be located on the lower level across from Men’s Wearhouse.

Journeys Kidz

Journeys is a stalwart in malls and shopping centers across the country boasting over 1100 stores. The company already has a location in Barton Creek Square and it added a more kids-oriented location last month. The store offers shoes, apparel, backpacks, hats and accessories designed specifically for kids ranging from infants to tweens.

Journeys Kidz has already opened and can be found on the upper level next to the Lego store.

Perfume Gallery

Perfume Gallery is another popular brand in malls across America and is even more commonly located in Simon Property — the company that owns Barton Creek Square. When the Austin Perfume Gallery location opens it will be the company’s first in the city.

Perfume Gallery will be opening this month and will be housed on the upper level across from JD Sports.
