Squishable closes Grapevine Mills store.
Published July 7, 2026 at 12:35 p.m. CT Updated July 7, 2026
Stuffed toy store Squishable has closed its storefront within Grapevine Mills.
Squishable sold a collection of stuffed animals or foods. The stuffed toys come in several sizes, such as mini, regular and mega, according to its website.
The New York-based company opened the Grapevine Mills location in June 2024, according to previous reporting.
* Closed in late June
* 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, Ste. 303, Grapevine
* www.squishable.com
The class action lawsuit alleges that Squishable.com Inc. failed to adequately protect customers' personal information, resulting in a data breach that exposed sensitive information.
In November, Squishmallows received top honours at the Toy of the Year (TOTY) Awards in New York, taking home the Toy of the Year for 2023, an accolade it has received for three years in a row.
Squishable’s alleged failure to secure its customers’ data was “particularly egregious,” since there have been an increasing number of data breaches and data security attacks recently, making the event “highly foreseeable,” the Squishable class action alleges.
