Stonebriar Centre, commonly referred to as Stonebriar Mall, is a mid-range shopping mall located at the intersection of Preston Road (SH 289) and the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121) in Frisco, Texas, U.S. The mall features the traditional retailers Macy's, Nordstrom, Dillard's, JCPenney, and Dick's Sporting Goods. It also has a 24-screen AMC movie theater, a food court with a carousel, a Cheesecake Factory, a Smokin' Oak Wood-Fired Pizza & Taproom, a Dave & Buster's and the first KidZania location in Texas.
History
In 1988, Homart, then a subsidiary of Sears, planned on putting a million square foot mall in Frisco, which was a town of about 6,000 people at the time.[2]
When Plano city officials learned of Homart's plan, they offered $10 million if the company would move its planned mall across the road into their city limits. Frisco lobbied to keep the planned mall and was able to work out tax incentives to close the deal. Plano then convinced another company, General Growth Properties, to place a mall within their city limits. In 1995, General Growth acquired Homart, who had already signed an agreement with Frisco.[3] The City of Frisco made a final offer to General Growth of a half-cent sales tax rebate, property tax abatement for ten years, and infrastructure improvements in and around the mall. Plano continued to lobby hard for the new mall and Frisco eventually upped its sales-tax grant. Frisco finally opened the mall on August 4, 2000.[4]
In 2016, the mall's AMC theatre located on the upper levels was shuttered for three months for updating and remodeling.[5]
In 2017, Carlo's Bake Shop opened at the mall.[6] However, it would permanently close a few years later.[7]
In May 2018, construction began on the 18-story Stonebriar Hyatt Hotel which would be attached to the mall.[8] It opened to the public in June 2020.[9]
In 2019, Sears announced it would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to phase out of their traditional brick-and-mortar format. Several additional replacement tenants are reportedly in the midst of early on discussions.[10]
In the fall of 2019, KidZania opened which is their first location to be opened in Texas.[11]
Foiled terrorist plot
In May 2018, 17-year old Matin Azizi-Yarand was arrested at Plano West Senior High School for planning a terrorist attack on the mall. Starting from December 2017, he spoke to an undercover FBI agent posing as an ISIS member. He was held on $3 million bond. In May 2019, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison.[12] Azizi-Yarand is currently incarcerated at Gib Lewis Unit with a scheduled release date of April 30, 2038.[13]
