Housewife Rebellion, an art gallery and wine tasting room concept, is now open near Grapevine’s Main Street.
The business offers wine, charcuterie and a pink glitter lemonade. Within the tasting room, owner Nicole Heere’s artwork is displayed.
Heere, a professional artist, has her work on the labels for wine sold at the tasting room.
“Women are constantly taking care of everyone else—our families, our careers, our homes, our friends,” Heere said. “I wanted to create a place where you can walk through the door, have a glass of wine and just be you for a while.”
Additionally, Housewife Rebellion will be a stop on Grapevine's Urban Wine Trail.
“I chose Grapevine because it already has this wonderful wine culture. It’s a community and a destination that appreciates independent businesses and a variety of experiences,” Heere said. “Each of the tasting rooms on the Urban Wine Trail [is] so unique and [they] have their own personalities and I’m excited to add mine to the mix.”
Two of Housewife Rebellion’s wines, Rebel Rosé and Pinot Grigio, won gold at the 2025 People’s Choice Wine Tasting Classic, which was held at last year’s GrapeFest.

California-based wellness business Hydration Room opened its first Texas location in Southlake.
The business provides several injections, such as a vitamin B12 shot or a cold and flu boost shot, alongside IV therapies, including immune support, NAD+ and migraine relief, according to its website.
Care within each Hydration Room location is provided by registered nurses, and patients get a complimentary consultation with a nurse practitioner as part of their treatment, founder and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brett Florie said.
“As the founding physician, I designed our core therapies myself, drawing on my clinical training as a board-certified anesthesiologist, and every protocol we run is developed and refined under physician-led clinical oversight,” Florie said. “The majority of our vitamins, minerals and antioxidants come from our own facility specifically for our patients.”
Hydration Room CEO Michelle Mendoza said part of what sets the business apart is the focus on IVs and injections, rather than trying to be a one-stop shop for wellness.
“Hydration Room really services the patient that wants to stay healthy and get healthy using IVs and injections, and that's what we're great at,” Mendoza said.
The Southlake location is the first in Texas for the company, which has more than 65 locations across California.

Ambulatory EEG provider NeuroSync Diagnostics opened in Colleyville to provide better remote brain scanning and monitoring services for A&B Neurology.
Neurologist Dr. Babak Rezaei founded both businesses and said not having to outsource for remote scans will help patients receive better care.
“Other companies get their pay no matter what they do, but this way we are actually responsible,” Rezaei said. “We actually interact with them and there's much better service to the clients and patients.”
Remote EEG testing involves a patient wearing electrodes for 48-96 hours so that brain data can be recorded over a longer period of time in different environments, and this can lead to a better chance of correct diagnosis.
Rezaei said he looks forward to expanding NeuroSync Diagnostics to work with other neurologists and practices because he understands the importance of timely care and communication.

Co-owners Ruth and Bryson Nokes opened their second New York Butcher Shoppe location in Southlake.
Customers can purchase a selection of fresh-cut meats, including steaks, sausages, lamb, veal and seafood. New York Butcher Shoppe also carries wagyu beef products, spice mixes, condiments, craft beer and wines.
The business also offers hot meal options six days a week, and customers can shop from several pre-made refrigerated meals.
Ruth Nokes said one thing that sets New York Butcher Shoppe apart is its commitment to customer service.
“One of the things that I'm really proud about is when I go to Google and check our reviews, they rave about our customer service,” she said. “They name our employees by name, and that is what we're trying to bring back with that traditional neighborhood butcher.”
The Nokeses also own the Colleyville location, which opened in August 2024.

A business that specializes in arch supports, The Good Feet Store has moved into a larger location in Southlake.
The new location has an additional fitting station, going from three to four, has new technology and should be able to serve more clients, said Matthew Hudson, chief operating officer of Waterman Arch Supports, the parent company for the Southlake location.
Part of what sets The Good Feet Store apart is a focus on all four arches of the foot, whereas other similar businesses may only look at one or two, Hudson said. The Good Feet Store’s products are meant to address balance and alignment, along with pain, and also come with a lifetime warranty, Hudson added.
The Good Feet Store was previously located at 2615 E. Southlake Blvd.

Toys R Us is open again at Grapevine Mills after moving across the hall to a new location in Suite 431.
The store sells toys and games as well as pop culture merchandise and collectables like Pokemon cards and NeeDohs.
While the store is still waiting on graphics and signs, manager Ragan Duffourc said those should be up by the end of the week.
This is the second time the store has moved this year after relocating from Suite 500. A lack of specific space requirements and portable shelves makes relocating easy, Duffourc said.

Holistic med spa and health service center Just Wellness will celebrate 15 years of business with a grand re-opening event Oct. 22.
The business opened under the name Cryo-X in 2011 and specialized in cryotherapy treatments. A year ago, new owners acquired the business, changed the name and expanded offerings to include aesthetics and med spa services as well as wellness and recovery. Under the wellness and recovery label, the business still offers cryotherapy as well as other services like red light therapy, IV drips and injections.
Justine Lewis, owner, family nurse practitioner and injector trainer, oversees the aesthetics side of the business and performs all injectable treatments.
The aesthetic and med spa services offered by the business include Botox injections, laser hair removal and dermal fillers.
Part of the anniversary celebration will be the addition of new laser treatments to the practice. Just Wellness is adding Sciton’s BBL HEROic and Moxi lasers as part of its skin rejuvenation program. The anniversary event will include free skin analyses and mini consultations to promote new and existing treatments and services.

The Pokeworks in Southlake recently celebrated its five-year anniversary.
Owners Chuck Lo and Jean Xue started the business because their daughter was an athlete who enjoyed the healthy food but couldn’t find many restaurants in the area offering it.
Poke is a traditionally Hawaiian dish of diced raw fish like tuna or salmon mixed with rice and various vegetables and sauces. Pokeworks also offers hot and cooked dishes containing chicken or shrimp and an option to have the pieces of raw fish torched.
The Southlake store has been continuously growing over the years and regularly ranks in the top-10 locations nationwide, Xue said. Pokeworks has over 70 locations in the United States.
The couple has been residents of Southlake for 20 years and Xue said the business couldn't have made it this far without the support they've experienced from the community.
“I think it also motivates us to do an even better job for the next five years,” Lo said.
Lo said future plans for Pokeworks Southlake include increasing the store’s focus on catering and expanding that side of the business.

Grapevine bookstore Talking Animals Books has renovated the upstairs at its original location into an enchanted forest-themed lounge for children and parents.
Katy Lemieux and Valerie Walizadeh first opened their independent bookstore in 2023, with the upstairs always meant to be a place for families. This dream wasn’t fully realized until they opened a second location and converted the original store to be fully for children in late June.
Now, the original location at 103 W. Worth St. is a dedicated children’s bookstore with one shelf for adults and the newer location at 909 S. Main St. offers a wider selection of books and a coffee bar.
The new upstairs opened Aug. 31 and features a large painted forest mural along with fake trees and grass. The area is also decorated with vines and fairy lights, and includes a playhouse, seating areas and toys and games.
Walizadeh had the idea for the enchanted forest theme and Celia Strang, the daughter of one of the bookstore’s employees, painted the mural and designed the trees and playhouse. She also paints the window designs at the other location.
The family-centered store includes a changing table in the bathroom.
“Our hope is that the newly remodeled store is a welcoming spot for kids and families,” Lemieux said. “We will have some really fun things going on during Christmas Capital of Texas time, too. It's always been a goal that kids feel welcome in the store and during our activities even if they aren't readers.”

Rio Mambo Tex Mex y Mas in Colleyville closed its doors, according to a lockout notice on the door.
The restaurant, which opened in Colleyville in 2005, served fajitas, enchiladas, chalupas, guacamole and more, per its website.
Brent Johnson with FIFTYONE Fifty Properties, the restaurant’s landlord, said Rio Mambo was initially locked out Aug. 27, but through negotiations, the restaurant reopened last weekend. However, because of financial struggles with California-based Xperience Restaurant Group, which acquired the restaurant in 2023, Rio Mambo was locked out again Aug. 31, Johnson said.
Along with the Colleyville restaurant, the chain’s other locations in Burleson, Weatherford and Fort Worth have also closed.
