DALLAS — The only thing I'm more excited to see than the weekend is the rain across North Texas. There's gonna be a lot to do, so let's get straight into it:
Friday, Sept. 15
HI-CHEW will be bringing their pop-up Bite-Size Candy Shop for anyone in the Galleria to sink their teeth in.
In addition to learning about the brand's history, fans get a chance to snag some exclusive candy along with some merchandise and other products. For example, you can try their new HI-SOFT salted caramel chew.
