Dallas’ Bishop Arts neighborhood is about to get a dazzling shot of hot pink, via Pinkitzel<\/a>, a fabulously over-the-top candy shop, coming soon to 417 N. Bishop Ave., in the former Dirt Flowers shop, which relocated in September.<\/p>\n

Pinkitzel is a mom-and-pop shop from owners Jonathan and Christa Kantz, who founded the concept in 2010 with their first location in Oklahoma City. Their goal was to create a place for customers and their kids to enjoy sweet treats, including candy, cupcakes, truffles, cake balls, ice cream, and macarons.<\/p>\n

The candy selection includes a bulk section with items such as M&Ms and candy necklaces sold by the pound ($20 per pound), plus salt water taffy, gourmet chocolates, and nostalgic old-time candy in boxes like Dots.<\/p>\n

They also do cakes in flavors such as carrot cake, wedding almond, and cotton candy, plus cupcakes, $6 each.<\/p>\n

But the sweets are only half the fun. Their shops boast a theatrical theme inspired by Marie Antoinette and Willy Wonka, punctuated with plentiful splashes of hot pink \u2014 a whimsical and photo-worthy backdrop for the teas and private parties that are a big part of their business.<\/p>\n

After winning over their hometown, expanding to Texas was a natural because they have local connections: Christa is a native of Texas, and their daughter is a Dallas resident. In September, they opened<\/a> their first DFW location in downtown McKinney, where they’ve become a big hit for patrons of the Square.<\/p>\n

“It’s been terrific \u2014 we’ve received such a warm reception from locals and tourists alike,” Jonathan says.<\/p>\n

With the similarity between Bishop Arts and McKinney \u2014 both highly walkable neighborhoods with lots of small independently-owned shops \u2014 it seemed like a perfect fit.<\/p>\n

The new Bishop Arts store is a ringer for their location in McKinney \u2014 a pink paradise with pink metal chairs, pink cherubs hanging on the wall, hot-pink picture frames, pink flowered curtains, cupcakes perched on pink pedestals, light fixtures adorned with pink roses, a magenta tufted velvet couch, and a pink Oriental-style rug on the floor. At Bishop Arts, Marie Antoinette is the centerpiece of a fabulous mural behind the cupcake counter.<\/p>\n

They’re hoping to be open in early- to mid-November.<\/p>\n

“It’s a little crazy to be opening two stores in one year, but we’re so excited about bringing a place for children of all ages to Bishop Arts,\u201d Jonathan says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas’ Bishop Arts neighborhood is about to get a dazzling shot of hot pink, via Pinkitzel, a fabulously…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":331732,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,10319,10084,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-331731","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-desserts","11":"tag-openings","12":"tag-texas","13":"tag-tx","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-united-states-of-america","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115435320491034239","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331731\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/331732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
