Fort Worth's Tanger Outlets Secures Pandora Jewelry for New Addition
Pandora Jewelry is planning a new store at Tanger Outlets in Fort Worth, taking on a 1,649 square-foot lease space at 15861 North Freeway. The retailer’s buildout will be a tenant remodel. A city remodel application was submitted on October 7, 2025 and the permit is currently under plan review. According to building permit data, the remodel cost is listed at $150,000, with the store expected to open by the end of Spring 2026.
What Pandora Brings to Fort Worth Retail
Pandora is a globally recognized jewelry brand known for its charm-based bracelets, necklaces, rings and fine jewelry collections. The company operates thousands of points of sale worldwide through concept stores and partner retailers. Its consumer-facing business emphasizes customizable charm and bracelet systems, a well-developed retail experience, and a broad gift-focused assortment that differentiates Pandora from many traditional jewelers. For context, Pandora reports about 2,600 concept stores and several thousand global points of sale.
Pandora’s Fort Worth Footprint and Project History
The new Tanger Outlets location will be Pandora’s third store in the Fort Worth area. Pandora currently operates two Fort Worth stores: a 1,204-square-foot location at The Shops at Clearfork (CO issued October 23, 2017) that was designed with Little Diversified Architectural Consulting’s Charlotte office, and a 1,217-square-foot remodel at Hulen Mall that opened in late Spring 2023 with design services from LGA Partners’ Pittsburgh office. The Tanger Outlets store adds another outlet-format presence as the brand balances mall and outlet strategies in the market.
Why This Matters to Construction and Real Estate Professionals
For general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, Pandora’s entry into Tanger Outlets represents a tenant-driven remodeling opportunity typical of outlet centers: interior millwork, display fixtures, lighting upgrades, security systems and facade sign permits. The $150,000 remodel budget aligns with a focused tenant finish in a high-traffic outlet environment. Construction firms experienced with retail tenant finishes, fixture coordination and short lead-time fit-outs will be best positioned to bid on this type of work.
Simon Property Group’s Ownership of Tanger Outlets Fort Worth
Tanger Outlets Fort Worth is currently owned and managed by Simon Property Group, one of the largest retail real estate companies in the world. The outlet destination has evolved under Simon’s full ownership into a premier shopping hub in North Fort Worth, featuring more than 80 national retailers and spanning hundreds of thousands of square feet. The property continues to attract strong tenant activity, with recent remodels and new tenant additions such as Pandora Jewelry reinforcing the center’s role as a key retail destination in the region.
Recent Tenant Momentum at Tanger Outlets Fort Worth
Tanger Outlets has attracted a mix of national outlet and apparel tenants in its leasing phases. Initial lease lists and developer materials have included names such as Nike, Levi’s, Banana Republic, Gap, Old Navy, Express and Skechers among others — a tenant mix that drives strong foot traffic for accessory and jewelry tenants like Pandora. Developers and retail construction contractors should anticipate typical outlet tenant improvement work and coordination with mall services and signage approvals.
What Pandora’s Addition Means for Owner Operators and Investors
From an investment and asset-management perspective, Pandora complements outlets’ accessory and gift categories and can improve per-square-foot sales for centers that successfully mix apparel, footwear, dining and specialty services. For Simon and Tanger, brand diversification that includes jewelry and accessories helps increase day-part penetration such as gift shoppers, tourists and seasonal peaks, supporting leasing velocity and occupancy stability across the center.
Timeline and contractor considerations
The remodel application filed October 7, 2025 places the project in plan review during Fall 2025; the tenant expects to begin construction following permit issuance, with an opening targeted for late Spring 2026. Contractors bidding on the scope should plan for expedited fixture procurement, interior millwork coordination, and compliance with Tanger and Simon signage and operations standards. Expect shorter construction windows typical for outlet tenant remodels and a heavy focus on staging, loading-dock scheduling and weekend/after-hours work to minimize center disruption.
