Preston Center welcomes Ylang 23

Ylang 23 is moving from the Galleria to a new Preston Center location. The highend jewelry store has been in its Galleria location for 28 years. A Ylang 23 sales associate confirmed that the Galleria location will close in January and reopen sometime next year in Preston Center’s Suite 700, which formerly housed the maternity store Pickles & Ice Cream. Pickles & Ice Cream is still open in the center, but now it’s just a few doors down in Suite 400. Ylang 23 features jewelry from designers such as Cathy Waterman, Irene Neuwirth, Jennifer Meyer, Todd Reed, Ten Thousand Things and Jamie Joseph.

Elements Massage Studio opened Oct. 5 in the Preston Royal Village East shopping center. The studio is headquartered in Colorado and has 143 locations in 28 states. This is the first Elements Massage Studio to open in Dallas, and the second massage studio opened by owner David Galvanek. He also owns an Elements Massage Studio in West Plano. “Elements was founded on the healing benefits of massage, and we’re looking forward to making a positive impact on our clients’ lives,” Galvanek says. The studio will be open seven days a week. Walk-ins are welcome and monthly membership programs with discounted massage-therapy services are available.

New shops at Park Lane restaurant Boca Chica

Pilates Barre in University Park is slated to open a second location at Lovers and Inwood by the end of November. The new studio will have 14 Megaformers, 20 spring boards, a locker room and a store inside where you can stock up on workout clothes and equipment. Plus, the store will sell Dallas-based Roots Juices. Studio classes include PilatesBody, Bootcamp Barre and PilatesBarre. Bootcamp Barre integrates spring boards, ballet toning, and intense boot camp-style cardio exercises. PilatesBody is a Pilates-reformer-based strength workout, and PilatesBarre is a combination of the two classes. To celebrate the opening, the studio is offering memberships with access to both studios for $219 per month for 12 months. All other packages can be shared at both locations as well.

Al’s Pizzeria to reopen at Bachman Lake

Al’s Pizzeria will reopen in the Village at Bachman Lake shopping center sometime this fall. The pizza joint originally opened in the 1970s but had to close a few years ago when Walmart and Sam’s opened up in their shopping center. The owners of the restaurant signed a lease for a 1,785 square-foot space in a new building under construction in the Village at Bachman Lake shopping center. “We are pleased to be returning to our original location near Bachman Lake in a new, updated building,” says owner Medo Pjetrovic. “We look forward to serving our loyal customers, some who have been coming to Al’s Pizzeria since it first opened in 1974.” —Whitney Thompson
