A transplant from the heart of Austin is moving north Monday when the University of Texas Co-op opens its first store in Dallas.
The store will occupy 6,000 square feet next to Barnes & Noble on Northwest Highway, across the street from NorthPark Center. It will be filled wall-to-wall with Longhorn merchandise and memorabilia, from burnt orange T-shirts and letter jackets for dogs to pepper grinders and evening wear.
Brian Jewell, director of marketing for the Co-op, said the goal is to recreate the unique feel of the original store.
