From a new red light therapy business to a puppy store, check out five recent business updates from Grapevine, Colleyville and Southlake.
Now open
Boogie's Pups, a Dallas-Fort Worth area pet store, now has a second location in Grapevine.
Grapevine location manager Hugo Hernandez said Boogie's Pups is the one-stop shop for all puppy needs, or to find a “forever puppy” for the home.
The store offers retail, resale and grooming services. Boogie's Pups partners with USDA Licensed Breeders and hobby breeders to ensure the health of the puppies up for adoption, according to its website. The business also has a “no puppy mill promise” policy.
The first location of Boogie's Pups in Lancaster, south of Dallas, had a rebrand in January, according to a company social media post.
A new women’s clothing boutique, Grace+Emma, is now open in Grapevine.
The boutique sells tops, dresses, skirts, outerwear and more in standard and plus sizes, CEO and co-owner Adeel Mitha said. Grace+Emma also sells accessories and has seasonal collections, according to its website.
Adeel Mitha said the reason the boutique carries a variety of sizes is because of the brand’s goal to make sure every woman can find something for herself.
Grace+Emma was started 12 years ago by Ashi Mitha and Rosie Jinnah, Adeel Mitha said, but the Grapevine area was always a place where they wanted to bring a physical storefront, the company’s first. The company is named after Adeel and Ashi Mitha's daughter Emma and the idea of leading with grace, Adeel Mitha added.
“The big goal for us is to bring the community together,” Adeel Mitha said. “Grapevine has done so much for us growing up and nothing would make us happier than the citizens of Grapevine to love this place.”
Prior to opening the brick-and-mortar store, the company was a wholesaler to various chains, including Boot Barn and Scheels.
“A bunch of these retailers carry Grace+Emma,” Adeel Mitha said. “One thing that was a thing for us was how do you make a lifestyle brand out of it. Part of that was to create a store where women can come in and piece things together and really create a full Grace+Emma outfit.”
Grace+Emma is located in the former Ruthie Jane’s storefront, which closed in late February.
Thrift Giant is now open in Colleyville, selling designer clothes, accessories and housewares, according to a Facebook post from the business.
The resale store partners with Donate 2 Impact, who takes donations at the store and offers free at-home pickups, per its website.
Thrift Giant will be located in the old 99 Cents Only Store, which has been vacant since its closure in 2024, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
The chain first opened a store in Irving before expanding to nine different locations across Dallas-Fort Worth.
Red Light Method will be opening late this spring in Southlake.
The business will offer medical-grade red light therapy, a 25-minute power plate as a red light therapy companion, a Pilates reformer session, an infrared sauna, 3D body scans, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy to improve circulation and reduce inflammation, and exercise with oxygen therapy, or EWOT, according to the website.
The red light therapy uses specific wavelengths to penetrate the skin and stimulate your mitochondria to rejuvenate the body and melt fat, according to a company social media post.
This will be the third location in Texas, joining Dallas and Fort Worth.
Slick City Action Park is getting ready to open its doors in Colleyville later this month, said Brett Huckins, chief operating officer for SlideUp, the company leading Slick City’s expansion into other communities.
The nearly 40,000-square-foot facility will feature three stories of slides, towering 40-foot ceilings and 15 high-speed attractions, according to a news release from Slick City.
“It took some effort in trying to take an old movie theater and see if it could work for a Slick City,” Huckins said. “It's never been done before, but when it looked like it was going to be feasible, we were super excited because living as residents in Colleyville [and] having something close by for our community, [I] feel like Colleyville needs something like this.”
The action park will include an air track basketball and dodgeball courts, which are courts that have a padded flooring that also lets players bounce, Huckins said.
There will also be a jungle gym and web crawler for children 6 and younger, and an arcade, he said.
A cafe area will serve pizza, chicken strips, mozzarella sticks, pretzels, Icees, Dippin’ Dots, nachos, hot dogs and more, Huckins said. Beer, wine, liquor and margaritas will also be offered, he said.
“This is not only for kids, it’s [for] adults,” Huckins said.
The action park will have adult nights for individuals 18 and older.
Slick City was initially expected to open in December, but construction took longer than expected, Huckins said.
The action park will be located in the old LOOK Dine-In Cinema, which shut down in September 2024, Community Impact previously reported.
