Pet store in Cantina Laredo spot

After a lot of waiting and wondering, Hollywood Feed confirmed it is opening in the old Cantina Laredo space. Hollywood Feed is a groomer/pet store combo based in Memphis. It plans to open 10 stores in Dallas, according to a post by the Memphis Business Journal. The first two locations were opened earlier this year, one on Lover’s Lane and one on Preston Road. A spokeswoman with Hollywood Feed says she doesn’t know when the Abrams location will open. Hollywood Feed began as a neighborhood feed store in Memphis, according to the website. Although it has expanded to several southern states, they still focus on being a “neighborhood provider of the best natural and holistic pet products.” For more, call 901.452.2506 or visit hollywoodfeed.com.

Elliott’s Hardware comes to Casa Linda Plaza

Casa Linda Plaza’s newest tenant is one of Dallas’s oldest mom-and-pop businesses. Elliott’s Hardware is moving into the storefront between Chili’s and Salons by JC, says Radkey Jolink, director of marketing and communications at the plaza’s leasing company, AmREIT. The 14,593-square-foot space has been vacant for 15 years. It previously housed Parisian-Peyton’s Colberts, a women’s clothing store and one of the original tenants of the historic shopping center. Elliott’s opened its first store in 1947 on Maple Avenue. Today, it has three locations in Dallas, Mesquite and Plano. The store should be open in Casa Linda by the end of the year.

Beads of Splendor moving

After 13 years in Lakewood Shopping Center, Beads of Splendor is boxing up its beads, clasps and wires and moving them to 9047 Garland (the shopping strip with Hypnotic Donuts). Major construction at the new location is finished. All that’s left is the finish-out and the moving, says owner Diana Thatcher. Thatcher hopes to open the new location in midOctober.

More business bits

1 Lakewood neighbor Chris Hamilton is opening a liquor and cigar shop on Greenville across from Snu er’s. Leeward Liquor and Cigars aims to be a cozy space stocked mostly with high-end, craft liquor, beer and wine options, with as many Texas-made choices as possible. 2 A men’s retail store opened on Henderson earlier this summer, across the street from the new Houndstooth co ee shop. Bonobos is primarily an online outlet, so the location on Henderson is a fit shop where men of all ages can pop in to be fitted for the favorite outfits they find online. 3 M Streets resident Lucy Huang opened Accents in West Village eight years ago as an accessories shop. Since then, Uptown has changed and her shop has evolved significantly. So when a spot became available at Mockingbird Station, Huang snatched it up. 4 An East Dallas owner is opening The Bohemian Cafe, a co ee shop/bakery, on Oct. 13, which will feature “breakfast lunch and German,” according to its Facebook page. A sign on the front door says the cafe will serve kolaches, co ee, tea, beer, wine and gourmet hot dogs, and will also have live music. 5 Across the street, Clark Food & Wine Co. plans to open soon. The website says Clark plans to create a “dynamic casual neighborhood restaurant serving American tapas, flatbreads, artisan sandwiches and smoked meats.” It will also feature a selection of wines, Texas craft beer and spirits.
