Spring is ripe with new beginnings in The Woodlands. Four new restaurants and two new retailers have moved into town, and these budding businesses are bound to bring new and unforgettable experiences.

An overview of the Mango store in The Woodlands Mall. Alongside many racks of business coats, purses, and shoes for women, there are two mannequins standing front and center. The one on the left is wearing black heels with a classy, asymmetrical dress that has black and white stripes running in different directions. The other is wearing a tan business jacket with gold buttons, dark straight-leg pants, black heels, and black sunglasses.

A black chalkboard reads "INSPIRING OTHERS TO just feel good IN THE WOODLANDS" in white text. The text is surrounded by lots of bright yellow stripes to look like a sun or a flower.

On the outdoor patio of Original ChopShop, two halves of a layered salami, swiss, and bell-pepper sandwich face the outer edges of the camera frame. Ice-cold lemonade in an Original Chop-Shop to-go cup is slightly out of focus behind the sandwich.

The camera focuses on a table set with pastries (a puff pastry topped with raspberries and cream, a chocolate-drizzled croissant, and a melted cheese biscuit). Behind it is the box it came in, the "Paris Baguette" name angled neatly for the camera. A woman sitting behind the table--her head out of the frame--holds a cup of iced coffee in a Paris Baguette to-go cup.
