The Willow Bend Mall is set to make way for the Dallas Stars new arena, and a surrounding sports entertainment center, following approval from Plano City Council.

Council approved a non-binding letter of intent from the Dallas Stars and a $15 million economic incentive with Centennial, the owners of Willow Bend Mall, at a June 8 meeting.

The details: According to the letter of intent from Dallas Sports & Entertainment LP, the parent company of the Stars, the arena to be constructed at The Shops at Willow Bend will host the Stars home games along with team practices, camps and “other professional hockey activities.”

What they’re saying: Of 12 Plano residents that spoke at the June 8 meeting, 10 opposed the Dallas Stars arena at Willow Bend Mall. Several speakers cited concern with traffic, noise, safety and the potential that the Dallas Stars could leave following the 30-year lease.

Everything Madeleine opened in Plano in late May.

What they offer: The business specializes in madeleine pastries with a variety of flavors like pistachio raspberry, earl grey, dark chocolate and lemon. Customers can also accompany their pastries with drinks like the earl grey matcha or the strawberry matcha.

Hong Kong dessert shop Hui Lau Shan is now open in Richardson East Shopping Center, a company representative confirmed in an email.

The details: Hui Lau Shan started as an herbal tea trolley in Hong Kong in the 1960s and has now turned into a global dessert chain, according to the company’s website. Hui Lau Shan offers handmade mango desserts, prepared fresh every day, as well as fruit-based drinks and other sweets like mochi and coconut jelly.

The Richardson location is currently in a soft opening and is open from 4-8 p.m. daily.
