Shop ‘Til You Drop Refresh your wardrobe, find unique gifts, or simply enjoy a day of browsing at some of Plano’s favorite shopping destinations. Explore a vibrant mix of popular brands, local boutiques, and stylish storefronts, along with independently owned shops that bring charm, character, and hidden gems to every shopping experience.

Lunch at Lockhart Smokehouse After a morning of shopping, stop for a Texas barbecue lunch at Lockhart Smokehouse.

Relax poolside, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy a refreshing escape close to home.

Dinner Along The Boardwalk Wrap up your weekend with an evening at The Boardwalk at Granite Park.
