Plano's Legacy West is a $3.2 billion dollar, 255-acre development featuring 415,000 square feet of open-air retail and restaurant space.

Shake Shack is making another big Texas move.

Legacy West is already one of the most talked about restaurant and shopping meccas in Texas.

Dean & DeLuca offers epicurean treats for cooking, eating, and entertaining.

Barnes & Noble will open a concept store in Plano's new Legacy West development.

The long-awaited grand opening of Legacy West in Plano is almost here.

Developed by The Karahan Companies (masterminds behind The Shops At Legacy), the 255-acre destination is already stirring up buzz for its many shopping, dining, and living musts. Not to mention, that it is the future home of both Toyota’s and FedEx’s North American headquarters.

Friday to Sunday, June 2 to June 4, Legacy West’s A-list lineup of new stores and restaurants will rally for the ultimate shopping party.

The weekend kicks off Friday night with a live music performance by the Jordan Kahn Music Company (7:30 pm). The next day, enjoy tunes by Emerald City Band (2 pm) and Party on the Moon Band (7:30 pm). Taylor Pace Band closes out the weekend with a performance Sunday afternoon (2 pm).

In between sets, navigate the long list of Texas favorites that have made their way to Plano, many of which are hosting food and drink tastings: Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House; Mesero; Shake Shack; True Food Kitchen (offering the Plano Paloma, a special cocktail for the weekend); Lombardi Family Concepts’ Bistro 31, Taverna and Toulouse; and Sprinkles (try the Legacy West Chocolate Caramel Cupcake).

Stores such as Fabletics, Suitsupply, Tesla, and West Elm will offer in-store exclusives and events throughout the weekend. To top it off: The much-buzzed-about, massive Legacy Hall food hall will open for tours and a sneak peek of its vendors.
