TESO X Hurst plans to bring a little mystery to your next North East Mall shopping trip. Think boxes with a surprise inside, collectible characters that deserve their own shelf, and miniature building sets that turn a quiet evening into a project.
The planned store would occupy Suite L15B at 1101 Melbourne Road. For shoppers who enjoy hunting for a gift with personality—or finding one more tiny character for their desk—the concept offers plenty to explore.
What Makes TESO X Hurst a Fun Addition?
TESO Group introduced TESO X in 2022. Its focus spans blind boxes, figurines, building sets and plushies. The company lists partners including 52TOYS, Rolife, Robotime, SMISKI and Sonny Angel, giving a sense of the collectible world behind the concept.
A blind box adds a small reveal to the shopping experience: the packaging keeps the specific figure a surprise until you open it. That makes browsing feel a little different from picking a familiar item off a shelf. You might have a favorite character in mind, but the box has the final say.
The appeal also stretches beyond collectors. A plush toy can become a gift, while a miniature building set gives someone a hands-on activity to take home. The Hurst store’s exact merchandise lineup has not been announced.
Tiny Characters, Big Personality
There is even a construction connection among TESO’s partner brands. SMISKI’s Construction Series includes little characters measuring, digging a hole and directing traffic. A tiny construction crew for a shelf feels especially fitting around here.
That collection illustrates the playful side of the brand’s partners; it is not a confirmed product offering for Hurst. Still, it helps explain why these stores can appeal to people who enjoy a little humor in their everyday spaces.
The planned TESO X Hurst location also gives North Texas readers a connection to a concept we have covered farther south. Our TESO-X story in McAllen looks at another planned Texas location.
Where TESO X Hurst Is Planned
The project identifies a 2,012-square-foot space inside North East Mall. Simon lists the mall’s address as 1101 Melbourne Road in Hurst. The work involves remodeling an existing retail space, with an estimated cost of $150,000.
The submitted construction schedule runs from December 15, 2026, through March 15, 2027. Those dates describe the planned work period. TESO has not announced a Hurst opening date.
For now, the draw is easy to picture: a mall stop built around small discoveries. Whether you gravitate toward a surprise figure, a soft plush or a miniature project, TESO X brings a playful idea to the North East Mall lineup.
