Grapevine Mills to Reopen Popular Cut-Through in October

GRAPEVINE, Texas — Grapevine Mills mall is set to reopen a popular cut-through in October, providing shoppers quicker access across the mile-long shopping center. This reopening comes amid a nationwide trend of mall closures but shows that Grapevine Mills continues to thrive.

The new passageway will officially debut just in time for the grand opening of Bubble Planet, a new attraction expected to draw around 300,000 visitors in its first year. The access point aims to make navigating the mall easier and quicker for guests, allowing them to get to their favorite stores without the long trek.

This is not the first time Grapevine Mills has adjusted its layout to enhance customer experience. Shoppers may remember a previous shortcut that was popular before being removed. The new cut-through is expected to allow guests to spend less time walking and more time enjoying shopping.

Forever 21, which operated for over 15 years at the mall, was previously a major feature of the shopping experience, acting as an unofficial shortcut. The new passage seeks to replicate that convenience and improve access to the growing number of stores, including newcomers like Puffy Cotton Candy and Pop Mart.

For shoppers in Southlake and surrounding areas, the message is clear: take advantage of the new shortcut and maximize retail fun at Grapevine Mills.
