Dadeland Mall's dozen 2025 newcomers launched with the February opening of the first Dick's House of Sport in South Florida and continues with Saturday's Memorial Day weekend grand opening of Florida's first Princess Polly, an Instagrammable fashion shop.
Several more stores are due in the summer and fall.
Here's what to expect.
